What the title says, staying in the same price range of a new LS.

I will be trading up to a white GTR as my next car. I have driven two now and I now its as ruff and noisy as a 60 VW beetle but I will get used to it just like all of my modified cars that were noisy and rode like crap. The GTR, to me, is more than a car. Its a goal and I have my eyes on the prize. In the event that the GTR can not happen as a daily driver I would consider the next gen ISF replacement ( better all round daily driver)

Just like I8ABMR, I will be trading up for a white GTR sometime next year once the both of my kids are in booster seats. I haven't driven one so I can't comment on how clunky it is but it is the only sports car I like with four seats that my wife can drive too since she doesn't feel like learning how to drive a manual. Now with no kids involved, depending on my commute I would get a new Viper. It is one of those cars you either love or hate for their rawness and impracticality.

I think the GTR will be a popular choice,because of the price and what you can get out of it.

Is the panamera considered a sports car? If yes, that's my choice.

My choice would be a GTR for my weekend whip or that new Viper! That joint is crazy hot! I see some of us have the same tastes!

A new vette some power adders to equal 90k or a used gtr with some miles on it. Then take the rest to get to 90k and build like 800-1000hp
