if i couldn't have my porsche... it would have to be a truck.

Ford F350 Series

These new SUV's don't do it for me. Too much of a 'cush' ride. Trucks shouldn't drive like town cars!!

Nice replies, my comments so far...

M3 is a Porsche level sports car and is really considered on the edge for being too expensive. I think I should have clarified my question more and given a price range or a cap of $45K or $50K.

The S4 rules, but is not a sports car.
It's a sedan or sports sedan.

We could start another thread on those.

$50k leaves a wide open door for say, a 993. After that, I'd move down the list of Boxster S, M3, Z06 or other Vette, then 350Z Convertible.

If it had to be new, a Corvette Z06 or Mini Cooper.

But I would go used at that price range, start with a used 996 coupe or 993, Boxster S. Possibly used NSX or M3.

We bought Sharon the G35 coupe and love it for what it is and that's a sport tourer. Very fast and stable but a bit heavy. Maybe I'd take it to the track if it was a 6 speed and had the Brembro brakes.

I think if you wanted more of a sports car the RX8 would be interesting.

Bart, that's why I would go w/ the 350z. The track model is pretty nice and for just a few thousand more, you can really fix it up for the track by putting on larger rubber and a tighter suspension.

I agree as well Gary. I personally care more about trackability (is that a word?) than looks.

The G35 is a GT car, and the 350z is more of a true sports car IMO.

I prefer sports to GT 9 times out of 10.
