    If i couldn't replace my 3S with a better 3S...



    I would enjoy doing a big-bucks retrofit of a Coyote drive-train/running gear into a '67 (NOT A '68!) fastback Mustang.

    It would be called Phastblack Phastback.

    I've thought this out, you see.

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    I think if I was going to replace my stealth, I would in the market for a BMW 5 Series Vert or the GTR. Honestly though, if you win the lottery, I wouldn't be looking at anything cheaper than 250k, so think Ford GT, Lamborghini, or McLaren...

    Actually, one I can't believe I forgot and I think would be fun: Lotus Elise.

    Would be VERY different from the 3S and I enjoyed the chance when I got to get behind the wheel of one.

    Never seen a used Exige for sale around here anywhere near my price range. Have seen a couple (literally 2) Lotus Elise for around 20k in the last 2-3 years. Only Exige that popped up was down by Atl for like 40k.

    ^^ Yup.

    I replaced mine with an Evo X, which was a financial mistake, but the Evo is a hell of a car. I now have a motorcycle and two cars. I still miss the VR-4, but I couldn't justify having two weekend warriors and a motorcycle, lol.

    Well not with that attitude. Geez, don't be such a negative nancy :P But yeah, having a normal vehicle does make keeping the TT a much more viable option.

    evora > exige. but not cost-efficient.

    p.s.
    dunno about those considering cars in the 100k range. i think i'd jump on a 512TR if i had that kind of coin. might not be as fast as a GTR or zo6, but will turn a LOT more heads.

    that doesnt hold true for the new Exige S

    Think exige chassis (2400lbs, rwd, big brakes) + evora engine (350hp supercharged v6)

    annnndddd it DOESNT LOOK LIKE AN INSECT WITH WHEELS!
