Plus I love how A110s look, the new ones share a remarkably similar profile to the 86 and are as light as a Miata while having a fair bit more power, all for half the price of an exige/evora. |

I'd be more down for a semi-exotic I could drive every day (and I plan on doing this for my next daily.)
I really like the looks of the 718 Spyder: But if my budget were to allow it, I'd totally daily a new Vantage or Portofino: In the meantime, my Datsun Z often gets better reactions around LA than most exotics (and for some reason, so many people think it's a Porsche.)

This may not be new and exotic, but I'd love to have a red one:

Absolutely. Now of course "could" would mean "able to buy one without affecting my financial future", so I'd need to be absolutely loaded to be able to justify spending that much on a car... I'm a pocket protector dork who's too risk averse to lay out for expensive things.
997 GT3RS 4.0 counts as an exotic right? I love a good Lambo as much as the next guy, but nice Porsches are the only modern cars that I would describe as "so beautiful it hurts". You feel it in your chest. agree with @yurikaze though, the 718 Spyder is gorgeous and dreamworthy. Then again, so is that Datsun Last edited by MaverickMonk; 07-01-2019 at 10:05 AM.

Wait, why do you want a 997 GT3RS4.0 instead of a 991.2 GT3 (or the 992, which I assume will be pretty similar)?

That said, you don't get that 9k redline, "only" 8400, lol… True that, I imagine its a similar feeling! Either way I think the words "achingly beautiful" describe the feeling well...Although yours sounds more like lust The slant nose is also absolutely gorgeous in the most retro of ways. I'm a sucker for the headlight/fender humps though. Seriously a contender though. |

The reviews say the 991.2 and 992 steering has been de-numbed, and with 4 wheel steer I feel like "nimbleness" shouldn't be a problem. If their claims are true, I also really like how the hardened valve seats don't require any valve adjustments for the life of the engine. Electrohydraulic steering is a fun gimmick especially with the whining noise but a good electric assist system is more reliable, lighter and doesn't intrude into the frunk. |

That said, last car show I was at there was a guy with a '74 Carrera that he hotrodded into an RSR clone. Full race interior, 4.0L aircooled engine, weighed around 2150lbs. Now THAT is a Porsche... and probably costs as much as the GT3s we're discussing, if not more lol. |
