Cool reading all your thoughts. Concerning getting a dedicated daily driver. I have an Accord but my S is my daily. The Accord is for when the dog's coming along. Can't see having a horse in the stable if you don't ride it. The best part of a day at the office is VTEC on the way home. I'm thinking my best bet for an upgrade is 650 injectors, 3.25 belt and 9lbs of boost. But I think I'll look a little closer at the Ariel Atom.

As to all the 6 figure cars; I just can't justify more than 70K for a car or 10K a year in maintainence. Yes if money was no object a F430; F50 and a 288GTO. If 150K was the budget Ford GT.
I guess I'm glad Honda gave us the S. What will the NSX replacement be; better be rear wheel drive and 6 speed manual. How about coming out with a new S with a SC'd version of the NSX motor.

 

Ford GT continues to grow on me.

For 30k out the door + 20k of work, the S2K is just a monster.

 

This is a really good point. If I had to pick one thing that is not ideal about the Carrera is that you can't even come close to exploiting its full capabilities on the road in an even remotely responsible manner. By the time you are even at 6/10ths your are in "go straight to jail now" territory.

 

Subaru STI??
