Hey, I just got rid of my 2007 997TT. It had the GIAC chip and Tubi Street. Great car, really loved it but the lease was up. I don't want to lease any more so I'm keeping the budget under 70k.

Although the Porsche was a great car, I don't really want another one right now since I just had one.

I've been looking at some SL65's, F360's, Aston's, and possibly Vipers. The Z06 would be a nice contender but not really a fan of Corvettes.

Any suggestions? Must be 2-door and under 70k.

 

Manual or auto?

 

The 997 was a 6 speed. But I could go either way. I felt bad that my wife couldn't drive the 997 because it was stick, every time she tried driving it she felt nervous because of the 6 speed.

 

996TT or 996GT3?

 

I added to the first post that I don't really want another Porsche right now since I just had one. They are great cars though!

 

Something different eh?

How about a Smart car? Or a Prius?

I would go F360 if you can get one for that price

 

I like the F360 but the fact that they still have a timing belt as opposed to the chain like in the F430. The maintenance is rather scary.

 

Hayabusa!

 

Sorry, I'd rather walk than ride those death traps. I lost two friends to motorcycles.

 

for a DD or weekend?

 

I hear you, I lost a couple of close friends in high school and have never had the b@#!s to get on a bike. Good Luck

 

for new cars:

Audi S5
Lotus Exige
M3

 

The Z06 is a great car. The interior is crap but they are a blast to drive. Incredible bang for the buck. I would drive one and see what you think. You can get a really nice used one for $50k and have money left over for a winter car with an auto for the wife.

Love the styling of the S5. Lacking on the power aspect.

Exige's are fast as hell but they're pieces of trash.

M3, same as S5. They're nice but lacking on the power aspect.
