- for what it is worth, (if I had the money) I would like to try a Cayman S. The M3 is also an awesome car (I was leasing one before I got another S2000) - I loved it way more than the Corvette (which I traded in for my 1st S2000). I think those 2 are more practical if you want to call them that vs. a GT3, but as you said, this is just for fun.

I thought about E46 M3, but they are "not much" better than S2K to me. My friend has one and I driven it a lot and although it is impressive, not worth or something I would call it a "upgrade." It is for sure more pratical than a s2k.

E46 M3 CSL, in other hand, I would of bought that in a heart beat.

Although Vett is nice, I cant see myself ever buying one.

My other friend has a Boxter and I dont like it at all. I wouldnt spend 70k for Cayman S and rather bite the bullet to buy the GT3. Although Cayman S has been praised by the magazines, I dont see what is so great about it vs cost. I may change my view if I test drive one.

NSX would be a natural upgrade for Honda, but again, I cant see why I would have to pay 80k for new or used one for 60k...that is in good condition.

This is for fun and too hear some opinions, but I am considering trading or selling, but who knows.

Maybe GT-R??

hhmmmm you could wait for the 08' Skyline. ? I am anxious to see that car. There is also the Lotus Elise - obviously, not an upgrade and very VERY spartan. I had a chance to look at one that was for lease here in Franklin - that is another car that "if I had the money" AND a garage - I would like to try that car out.

I have test driven Evos and STis
Which one did you like better, or were they pretty much the same?

I have to say, I like the handling more for the Evos and the power more for the STIs. But they are pretty much the same.

I would really decide them between which exterior you like better and the interior because the performance is very similar.

STIs price is similar to the MRs, but you can find always get the RS for 26k new @ sponser dealer in evolutionm.net, which isnt that bad.

I dont want to regret anything.
