Will see what they have for the Supra otherwise waiting for new ISF. Can the new ISF beat that C63AMG black series in term of speed and handling on the track as future MT best driver's car ?

Realistically I'll be looking to move into a 997 Turbo or possible the 991 (I think) Turbo. I have always been drawn to the performance sedan though. I love the dual personality of the ISF. Maybe the next gen or if they release a GSF I may be interested.
I would love to say Gallardo or R8 but I would be hesitant to use those as a daily. the Porsche seems to fit the role of daily with performance a bit better. I had the opportunity to "car sit" my former bosses 996 Turbo X50. That car was comfortable for a daily but had tremendous power on tap when you needed it. The sound of the turbos and air flowing into the intake is addicting.
Now if I didnt have a family to provide for or if my assets were large enough that I could do it without feeling it, I would love to own an aventador.

Very interested in how Lexus will produce the new LF-LC coupe and at what pricepoint.
Of course the next-gen IS-F would be on top of the list depending on what they do with it.
I've debated with myself about the GTR numerous times but for some reason I just don't see myself buying one.
If things look good financially I might splurge on the Type 991 911 Turbo in 5-10 years....

At this stage I'm looking for superior handling and balance, something thats fun and flick-able a car that will turn on dime, a car that still requires some driver input rather than all wheel drive computer assisted car that does most of work for you. Not that concerned with massive amounts of hp, which is great in 1/4mile or mile racing but were I plan to use this car which is street and track (road course) big HP numbers arent that big of deal to me any more sure it's not going to be the fastest car out there but it will be fun car to drive and quite rare, I'm talking about Porsche 987.2 or Boxster Spyder S with TPC Racing low boost turbo kit giving it extra 140whp and 100tq over factory so your talking 383whp and 296wtq in mid engine car that weights only 2810pds it's one of Porsche best handling cars I say not bad and if I wanted more HP TPC Racing can do custom set up per there web site they have Caymen racing turbo kit that puts out 480 range since they both use same motor it could be possible to go that route if I was willing to pay extra cash $$$$$$ lol. It's different a car you won't see often, like our ISF but it will have more than enough handling ability and power to hang with it's big brothers with no problem as long as there stock that is and quite few other car out there as well It's kind of poor man's mid engine super car
In similar to your point, I'm thinking get either one of the available kit with 415whp/317wtq for my 86 car which weight only at 2800 lbs, then it would be in the league of 458 italia / GTR / aventador

The title was "What's your next car?" so I'm taking a little liberty here.
I just got the New '10 IS-F in June, and there was no way in H... I was going to get rid of it now.
But, last weekend I swapped my '09 Boxster for a '13 Boxster

Logically speaking since I've been continually been rising in position at my dads trucking company and manage his liquor stores , which I've helped operate both since the age 15, I am going to "have" to enter the executive high performance sedan like S63 AMG or something of that caliber, since my dad said I have to bring something "professional" which mean no supercars, since I am trading my '10 RX350 for a '13 LX570 soon, I'll be driving that to the office but I am looking to move into a S63 in a couple of years still keeping the LX...
But for now my dad says my and my bro's F is pretty profess(yep you read that right I just cut a word in half being hip with all buddys my now!) ...

LOL I just respect his opinion a lot because his advice has brought me a long way professionally(other than work I do for him) and personally...
