Back from the dead! Was just thinking about this thread today, and how I know a few people got cars that they tentatively had in their future like DJ with the Z06. How have your plans/tastes changed in the meantime? Are you any closer or father away on the future you predicted 5 years ago?
For me, I scratched the 1199, Cayman and M3 off the list. My new 2-5 year outlook:
*10th gen Civic Type-R next year
*991 GT3, GT4, Mclaren 12C, F430, or NSX (2nd gen)
or
*Ariel Atom, Radical, or Zenos E10S
For the 2-seater the GT3 and GT4 are the most likely candidates since their depreciation is low, reliability good, and I could get one with a warranty. The NSX would be awesome but too expensive and I imagine it won't depreciate much with the low production volume.
For the purpose-built stuff it's just a matter of if I'll get enough track time to warrant buying one of those cars. The Zenos seems to be streetable so maybe I would go that route.
Assuming I don't decide to buy something crazy I think the CTR will be my next car. I've wanted a Hype-R for a long time and now that we're finally getting one I'm leaning heavily towards buying one.
