Z8?

Shelby GT500?

03/04 Cobra S/C?

Panoz?

997 Turbo Cab?

(Or Boxster Spyder or Cayman R, though I don't think any have hit used markets yet)

Jav - no need to specify S/C on the '03/04 Cobras, they were all supercharged.

I know. So many people equate New Edge Cobra with the horrendous 99, 01-02 NA POS's that I feel that I have to remind them that it's the "good" one anyways. I don't blame them, that earlier car was poop on wheels.

A guy in the British car club here as a Morgan Aero 8. It may be one of the sexiest things I have ever seen face to face right up there with Lambos.

Quick call they have that one for sale at 98K which is to much for that specific car, they do have a while aeromax coming in at 197K which is way outside of the ballpark.

Yes. Do it now. I don't think you'll regret it.

And if you want something bigger I would definitely get a Jag.

holy wow @ the morgan, why would you ever need a 4.08 1st in something like that?
beautiful beautiful cars, crazy gearing (imo. jumps from a 4.08 first to a 2.40 second lol. 2nd 3rd 4th and even 5th are nice and close though)

Of course they are

the only experience I have with jags is cutting apart the older v12 with a torch to get to the juicy center. That and trying for hours to figure out why a low mileage xj12 refused to start after being bumped in a parking lot at 2mph.

Yep, its a long long story but the car had been through three or four shops trying to bypass the problem. They dragged it to me honestly chained behind a F150 no trailer and looked me in the eyes and said. "If you can't fix it we are going to take it to the border and light it on fire."
