Default Which to choose? Please Help

I have been looking at getting one of three beautiful cars.
1. Toyota Supra Twin Turbo
2. Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo
and last but not least in any way.
3. Honda S2000
i love all these cars for there performance and status as a japannese sports car.
my dilema is choosing one. i love the s2k for its lines,great handling, and high revs.
i like the supra because well it is a beast of a car, that is all i can say about that lol
and the rx-7 for its handling,high reving rotary, and just uniqeness to it.
as of right now i am leaning more torwards the s2k. but i would like to hear some of you others input on these cars.
thanks

Well I am sure you will hear only pro-s2000 comments here. You should really decide for yourself. Those cars are all very different.

For reliability, choose the S2000. Not to mention all the other great benefits of owning this car.

research, research, research. None of those cars are great all year round cars for the Northeast. A used Supra (turbo I assume) is a great car. A used RX7 can be a nightmare if you don't know the maintenance. If it has high mileage be ready to spend money on a new engine.

turbo_pwr is right. If you are familiar with the quirky-ness of the rx7, you're okay, but if not, you'll hate the car, and yourself.......unless you're looking for a challenge. I did really enjoy mine and didn't mind the maintanence, although sometimes it is tricky to figure out why it's acting up, it's not as intuitive as a regular car, if any are...

YES, mine closed the door on my pant leg and it wouldn't open until I signed the loan papers....
