    So having a 360 Modena, Porsche 993 C2S & Plymouth Prowler in my stable is not enough anymore for my core exotic collection. I am very happy with them, itching to add something new. Keep in mind I also have a 99 Trans Am 30th Anniversary convertible and a 2005 Crossfire SRT-6 as everyday cars. Trying to stay under $100k, does not have to be new. Have been looking at BMW Z8 & Aston Martin V8. Really like the Vanquish and Ford GT but they are $150k. Oh, and a Carrera GT would be the ultimate, but not at roughly $350k.

    Any ideas? Keep in mind I have gone thru a lot of cars that last few years, now looking for long term keepers.

    My vote would be a red Z8 roadster ... very rare and good looking, even more rare and even better looking in that color

    I love the Z8, and they're pretty rare which is always nice.

    There for a while I was thinking about a 355 GTS, but ended up getting the 360 Modena (no looking back).

    I thought about it, $15k markup and 10,000 being made a year--not too exclusive. Now, a GT500KR with only 500 to be made, that's another story. I can only imagine the market price on one if you can find one.

    I like them, but where I live you see 5 to 10 each time you leave the community. Wifes got a Chrysler 300 that we slum in, no kids yet. When the time comes, then maybe a SUV.

    512TR or Z8 would be my choice for newer, under $100K, cars.

    I think one of the great things about unique cars is the community that comes with it. Z8 would be a great car, but what do you do with it besides drive it to work? Viper has a cult following and makes a fun track car. You could get an amazing Pantera for much less than your budget and open up a whole other world of passionate owners.

    You already have so many capable cars... what do you really want to get out of another one?

    Ever consider a Noble M-12 or a Noble M-400? You wont see another one very often. Maybe 200 in the USA. Car is very easy on the pocketbook. Mine sits for weeks at a time due to the competition with the rest of my collection but it fills a very unique void. The car is lightning fast,handles like a slot car and easier to get in and out of then a Lotus(which I also have). You could track it or just enjoy the twisties in your neighborhood.The car sparks alot of conversation at local shows and if kept in good cosmetic condition is a frequent show winner. The car has lots of tunability as well. That would be my choice and the price range is 75k for a M-12 used with 5k miles or M-400 brand new for 100k. Jon in Delaware

    Do your due diligence relative to the Z8 frame issue.

    How 'bout a '97 993tt?
