Just sold the 997TT. Want something different. Under 70k, suggestions?

Look in the Ferrari section here and search for the post on "360 cost of ownership" there was a great post started by a fellow member and many owners chimed in on the actual costs as opposed to all the hearsay.
I found it very informative and when you take into consderation the cost savings over a F430 the belt issue is really only a small piece of the puzzle in the bigger picture. Alot of car for the money, especially if its going to be a toy and not a DD.
Hope this help, good luck and let us know how you decide.
Kind Regards, David

For a fun car nothing wrong with a Vette for a few years.

The wifey has her 03 S500 Merc. I mean, I know the Z06's are fast as hell but they're missing the "exotic factor." I just felt bad that my wife never really got to experience the 997. Besides, my wife keeps saying Z06's are pinky, lol. In a way she's right.

GTR's are nice. But I don't think they look all that great. I just can't picture having fun with it on the street.

You seem really hard pressed for a diamond in the rough at 70k. May I suggest upping your allocation or trying a 4 door. M5's are very fast

Definitely don't want a 4 door. I'd sooner get an M6 than an M5. I said $70k because you forget about maintenance, insurance, gas, etc.

increase your budget
I don't think you'll find what you want for $70K (per the cars you listed except the vette).
When I've been indecisive I've used swapalease to do something short-term (like 6 months) to give me time to make up my mind.
