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. Build quality is good, interior is not. You're going to the wrong bank, mine was loved by all!
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. I felt that way about my Z06.
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. Yep.
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. E92 is a nice car, the E46 always felt cheap to me, had a friend who had one.
5) Boxster S: What a great car! I hate 'verts.
6) 1M: Wow, but the looks are ehhh, the most n/a feeling turboed car I've ever driven. The only people I know who own 1-series are flaming homosexuals and women or kids (no lie, those are the only people I know personally who own them. One kid playing baby-daddy, and one really gay agency nurse I work with. They are neat cars, but meh. I just don't feel any love for 'em.
7) M Roadster: with the heart of an e46 M3 this is my current #1 Sadly they are out of warranty, and a bitch of $$$ to repair. BMW is killer.
8) Lotus Exige S: My heart is still racing. Very small and very little comfort. If you don't like GM's build quality, this car won't set well with you.

This is not as easy as I thought...
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!
