    Re: NO MORE MOOD......

    So no GT3 and GT3RS's?? That sucks ....

    I know its AWD but the last time I checked, a Lambo Gallardo was a real sports car ... Did you drive a Gallardo already? If so what were your thoughts??

    Re: NO MORE MOOD......

    How about a Mitsubishi Evo? I believe you can get one with 400 hp. Cheap and fun; you can beat the cr*p out of it, drive without getting any attention (fugly car) and then get rid of it when the Ferrari or GT3 becomes avail.

    Then there's the Lotus Elise... .

    Just suggestions for a temporary sports car fix.

    Buy a slightly used Ford GT. Exotic looks, balanced handling, and enough H.P. to crack your back, and when your Ferrari finally comes in, the Ford will likely have little-to-no depreciation. Ever since production has halted, the Ford GT market has held-check, no depreciation. Knowing that, boy would that be a fun car to play "interim" with while waiting for a high-demand exotic...

    Very good proposal, the Ford GT is a monster, quicker than all the rest!

    (perhaps you even don't want to sell it, when the high-demand exotic is ready... )

    You could get something used. Most of the super exotic sport cars have low miles on them and really are almost new.

    How about the upcoming 997 GT2 ? No 4WD! You should only be quick with your order or you will also have to wait for that car too.

    Lotus? Donkervoort?? I don't think those are in the ballpark that he's wanting to swing in...

    The Donkervoort is too eccentric, you start getting into that kind of stuff, and you may as well cross-shop personal whirlybirds and hovercraft...

    Re: NO MORE MOOD......

    I feel I repeat the same again and again, but please consider an Ultima GTR. By far, fastest than any suggested, and under a very reasonable price.

    Re: NO MORE MOOD......

    Thanks for all the inputs!

    Lambo: IMO Lambo lost the soul with AWD/Audi, nice looking car tho..especially the 640....no 4wd for me now...

    GT2: I always "think" about the GT2, but don't have the gut to put down the deposit. Not sure the car worth it?

    Fort GT and CGT: Only RHD in my place...

    Lotus: not enough hp and don't like the yota engine

    EVO: my 1st manual car years ago, great car for the money but again don't want 4wd

    GTR: um....not my cup of tea...

    What is Donkervoort?

    At this moment, probably the GT2 is next, but still not sure about the performance and the look?

    Careful with the GT2. If history is any indication, your in for a hefty financial bath. However, I have no doubt it will be a terrific performance car albeit a look alike with the other 24 911 models.
