let me know when she's ready to sell.

Dang! NC ... also not quite ready. But that would be a sweet one to grab. I like that color combo too!

Get in line! lol, the local euro shop already started a line for the car. Honestly, her car makes me nervous about a E90 becuase MAN, that thing lives at the shop. I bet she's spent $10k in repairs in the last 3-4 years and it's nothing major...just always $300 here, $500 there...makes me sort of lean toward a E46 but those are getting hard to find.
If you decide you want a manual transmission e46 sedan, just put out the word here. Many of us spend copious amounts of time perusing cars for sale. We'll find you something in no time!

I missed this comment. Thanks!
So, just found out about the new Club Spec series for autocross, so I'm HEAVILY, HEAVILY leaning toward a 05-09 Mustang GT!
It's actually one of if not my favorite Mustang esthetically speaking and isn't terrible on 87 octane. A few folks mentioned the 3.7L Mustang too - which is actually really intriguing as well.
I also really like the idea of the NC Miata Club Spec as well and if my wife was onboard with a 2 seater, I could go that way too. It's just less useful because I can't take/pick up both kids from school in a NC.
Since we all suffer from the same sickness - modding our cars and taking them from comfy street cars to track/autox oriented cars - I LOVE the Club Spec rules because I can't really 'ruin' the streetability of the car. Koni's and basic springs and sways, most of the rest of the car is stock.
After looking around, there are 05-09 Mustang GTs in my price range and I could probably splurge another $1-2k to get a little nicer model.
Just thought I would pop back in here with an update! https://www.scca.com/clubspec
I'm not familiar with Club Spec, but if you want fuel economy, why pick the older V8 mustang over a slightly newer 3.7L that makes the same power, etc? EPA combined fuel economy 18 vs. 23mpg.
