    What would your next "fun" car be?

    I had a question asked to me and I in no way, shape or form plan on selling my Cobra yet but here it is "What would you replace your Cobra with when the time comes?" I have been working my way up the performance lader since I started driving and I guess I hit a glass ceiling for now. Meaning that the amount of money I want to spend compaired to the performance I will get is starting to shift on me. Ok its more like a big jump! I think the only performance car that interests me is a newer Zo6 but like I said the bang for the buck is not in the same range as a 03-04 Cobra.

    Has anyone else thought about this or had it brought up in a conversation?

    Mine will be a new(er) C6 Z06, no question. The only other thing I can imagine is a newer type Porsche 911 Turbo AWD.

    The new porches are sweet but man do they cost a mint. I will need to hold out for my sugar mama before I can even start thinking about those. lol

    0 to 60 in under 4 sec and high 11 sec in the 1\4 for a factory car seems not so disapointing to me

    Definitely a C6 Z06 or a ZR1 would be bada$$.... but in a more realistic realm for myself, any C6 vette is an incredibly great bang for the buck... also, i love the new G8's and M3's

    Also, if i had around $100K to buy a C6 Z06 or a ZR1, i'd consider going another direction... they may not be as fast, but they're really rare and there probably wouldnt be another one on my block... something like a Aston Martin DB9 or a F430

    The thought crossed my mind the other day of a BMW 335I hard top convertible. They're still pretty expensive now, but if they came down I'd consider one.

    I'm with Kevin on the GT3. Realistically I would buy a C6 Vette as my next car. Thats the plan anyway.

    Well if this is going to turn into a dream car list I am still going with the Koenigsegg. It might not be flashy but it will get the job done.
