Most Affordable Supercar?
Ok when I mean supercar, I mean something that is different from most other cars, sport in nature and is affordable as for price/repairs/retain value/reliability.
I can only think of one true car and please feel free to argue with me, Porsche 911.
If you guys think it isnt a supercar then whatever.

Supercar is synonymous with exotic car imho. A supercar is a car that looks and performs like few others. 911s are ubiquitous and relatively benign. A GT3 could be a supercar in terms of performance, but it's still no exotic and it's definitely not affordable.
I'd have to go with the Atom, too. Maybe an Exige after that.

New, or used? If it can be used, check out that Top Gear segment where they test the Lamborghini Uracco, Maserati Merak, and Ferrari Dino GT4. All for under 10kGB.
As for new, I think there are two classes of super cars. There are those $100k-$200k, the GT3, Gallardo, V8 Ferraris, Ford GT, etc. They are in kinda an awkward position, too high to be sports cars like the 911 and Corvette, but too cheap and common to be true supercars of the Enzo-Pagani-Carrera GT category. I'd say the cheapest new supercar would probably be the Murcielago, at around $300k. The Ferrari 612 and 575M, along with the Vanquish, are up there in price and performance, but are more ultra-GT cars in character than true supercars.
