M3, well I would say that, only down side is running costs, but if you dont do too many miles that may not even be a problem

I ended up looking at GT2's AMV8's etc and then decided to spend less on tweaking my current S

Alfa Brera Spider?
Don't go for the Alfa Spider.

I'm an Alfa fan, I loved my 156.

When the Spider came out I test drove the 2 litre and the 3.2
I almost cried because they were awful.
Yes it was beautiful to look at, but lousy to drive.

I'd suggest something like an m3, purely on the basis that quite a few of my friends have tried to move to porsche turbos from vx/s2000 basis and just not had the cash for it but realised they needed a stop-gap

m3s seem like a familiar stop gap.
