Which would you pick?
Curious what your choice would be among these cars if you had to pick a weekend car. Assume 80-20 street-track car, and gas mileage and rear seats not important.
- 2005 Lotus Elise - 2006 Porsche Cayman S - 2008 BMW M3 coupe - 2013 Boss 302 Mustang (non-LS) - 2014 Mustang GT (track-pack)

And I assume cost of vehicle and maintenance is also a non-issue.
I have a sweet spot for M3, the cost of maintenance would kill me though. But I would still love one.

...and by "Elise" I mean "Exige."
EDIT: No! 2eleven! You mentioned nothing about cost being an issue.

Eh no love for the Mustangs? I thought there'd be at least some votes for the Boss 302. Somewhat collectible, fast, trackable, etc.
There are definitely philosophic similarities between the Cayman S and the Twins (driver's cars / relatively low-powered / spartan-interior, but daily-driveable) so I can see why it'd be winning. The M3 is the most complete car (luxury, performance, practical), although perhaps a bit heavy for track use.

M3 > Cayman S > Lotus > Prius > Boss > GT
M3 only comes first because I'm a BMW nut. Most people wouldn't logically put it there I don't think, at least not that model year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Doing yourself a disservice not considering an S2000. Cheap to buy, cheap to own, massively fun to drive while being a lot more practical than the Elise.

As a weekend/track car? Elise. I love my Cayman, but the Elise seems like it would be more fun as a weekend machine. However, for daily driving and also fun on weekends? Cayman every time. The Cayman is a bit more practical/comfortable than the Elise for daily driving, without giving very much up in fun.
