Life's latest curveball...This one is good

NYBladeZ

Found a serious contender, will let you guys know if I end up getting it. I really appreciate the suggestions. Here's my list of potential purchases as I thought of them and rejected many.

1) Z06: Easy to fall in love with the power but I can't get over the build quality. Banks don't like it much either.
2)Viper: If it was the new new new one, I'm in but that's not possible. I drove one a looooong time ago, before the newer 600hp. Its a psycho car but I will never be able to get the most out of it. Damn wide as well.
3) 911 Turbo: The ones in my price range scare the hell out of me because I really want one and they are really awesome but no warranty and more than "slightly" used are not helping.
4) M3, a great overall car, but I loved the e46 M3 so much and never got one, the e92 doesn't give me the same feeling. On a personal note, I spent so much time with the Z striving to chase and surpass an m6 e92 M3, I feel weird about it. Still its high on the list of candidates.
5) Boxster S: What a great car!
6) 1M: Wow, but the looks are ehhh, the most n/a feeling turboed car I've ever driven.
7) M Roadster: with the heart of an e46 M3 this is my current #1
8) Lotus Exige S: My heart is still racing.

This is not as easy as I thought...

if you want something rare, then the exige S would probably be most rare followed by the 1M and M roadster.

My take on all those cars, as I literally considered, looked at, drove, or rode in most of them on your list. I see you got the Exige, and I hope you like it. I am very curious what you think of it in about a year's time. I fell out of love with my Z06 in about a year for much the same reasons I did not buy an Exige. They are totally badass, though, and if you like it, it's the only car you will ever truly love. Very unique!
