...Given that I'd get a beater
1) GT2
2) E46 M3 CSL
3) Elise (Exige) with enough $$ for a k-series swap.
Reason: I'm getting older and these cars seem to "fit" me more. Plus, they'd be a blast to drive (on track and street). Also, I miss A/C, cruise control, and tolerable cruising RPM.
C6 Z06's are sweet, but why can't GM put a decent interior in their flagship sportscar????!!!!

If I had a bigger car also, a Lotus Exige, or Elise if headroom turns out to be an issue in the exige (doubt it though).
Second would be a C6 Z06, then a GT3.
If it had to be my only car.. hmmmm.. probably a normal 911 turbo or E46 M3.

Sure. I just called him and he's going to let me know about availability. I'm hoping they'll get one and make it a dealer demo. It's open season at that point.
They're a little picky about driving showroom cars
