Right now I'm not planning on buying anything until well after 5 or so years... after that point I'm hoping to buy a c6 vette...
Sports bikes are tempting though. The 600cc bikes are getting ~3.5 0-60 :O - and they cost like 1/4 price of a c6 vette used...
Anybody have any thoughts? I have a need for speed that my fr-s itself doesn't satisfy.

Absolutely, with a caveat. You damn well better respect them. Modern sport bikes are pure performance. insanely so. I have ridden off road the majority of my life and I have built and owned some serious horsepower of the 4 wheel variety.
My stock (mostly) 06 Honda CBR1000RR is the fatest, in terms of pure acceleration, machine I've ever opened a throttle on. It is also capable of breathtaking stopping and cornering. I honestly don't have the nads to push it to the limits. I have no desire whatsoever to modify it for any more speed. Something I've never said for any other vehicle I've owned.
It more than satisfy's my need for speed, but I have huge respect whenever I gingerly twist its throttle.
