    Looking at those photos (comparing to the others) just reminds me how lovely the 308 is.

    Yes, especially the clean lines of the 308 GTB.

    Here's a short video of a beautiful 308 GTB with the Euro front bumper and front spoiler.

    The Turbo R is the only thing on that list I'd want. Unless of course the 3X8 had some Koenig Specials turbos....

    In my imaginary garage there is an Aston Martin Lagonda.
    Cheap cheap now.

    In terms of performance I agree with the article the esprit v8 is an absolute steal for what they've been selling for recently

    May I ask why? I spent some time with a 1993 Brooklands a couple years ago. Loved it. Even with as slow as it was. To me, it felt like a real car. Metal, wood, leather. No plastic crap. Reminds me of a 50's Caddy.

    '01-04 Z06 (under $20k easily with a few miles)
    Dodge Viper (starting at $20k for rough one, $25k for a nicer Gen 1)
    XKR (people discount them as driver's cars but the coupes are beautiful, fairly reliable, and still 400 hp, $15k buys a nice coupe)
    Maserati Coupe or Spyder (around $20k for an early one)
    NSX (still relatively cheap for now. Find one with 100k miles for around $25k)

    +1 a hundred times!

    I would not touch them. It's not just about part prices either, it's about downtime while you're trying to find a seller that actually has what you need.

    Maybe it was a typo but 964 Turbo's are single turbo :)
