Can anyone find a more "fun to drive" car than 86/frs/brz . Looks like when I get mine it will be around for a while.

New Supra or another bodystyle off this platform but not a convertible.

Nissan and Honda rwd options would be nice but i don't want a 370 or hybrid NSX.

I'm probably not gonna get rid of the FRS, but I do know in 5 years I will have enough money saved up to almost pay off a used Ferrari F430 Spyder, that is if they follow the trend of the 360 Spyders. My dream is to own a Ferrari and the 430 Spyder is sex.

Maintaining a Ferrari is really expensive and thats not even taking in to account the repairs and insurance but I have seen a 430 Scuderia in that color in person and the sounds it made were almost orgasmic.

Seeing as how I do all my own work on cars, i think parts will be the most expensive for sure, but that being said, achieving a lifetime dream is priceless! Of course im also single so I can be frivolous

I hear ya on the single part, not too many women would deal with my buying wheels like they buy shoes.

My semi-accessible dream car is probably the 2012 911 GTS 4(on the left in this color) or the brand new Cayman S.

Iirc GM/GC STi (JP ver) were 1,220kg, but 2.5RS is between 2,765~2,850lbs (vary to coupe vs sedan & MT vs AT).

I'm totally happy with my FR-S. However, if they go the way most manufacturers go, in another year or two there will have been enough changes/upgrades to the FR-S to make the 2013 outdated. When I get the feeling my FR-S has been "left behind" I'll upgrade with a new one.

if you look at a miata forum you see them all moving up into boxster so i feel like the cayman is going to be the dominant choice.
