Under 40k Sports car - Your pick?!

So my S2000 is on the block and id like to replace it with something SPORTY and FUN but dont want to drop too much loot right now (investment property in the works) so im TRYING to limit my budget to 40 grand. New or Used - doesnt matter.

What would you pick? (keep in mind i daily the Cayenne)

TIA,

Jon

993 C2s or Exige would be my choice.

Elise/Exige, or possibly an older Z06 unless you are looking to stay with a cab.
Older SL55 could be cool too.

The Lotus' are too small for me...one of the main reasons im selling the S2K. 993 would be cool...ill look around at them.

Not a huge fan of the C5Z06's...and the Lotus' are not for 6'3" dudes. SL55 would ROCK but nice ones are WAY more expensive than 40k

C5 Z06 or you could do a Supra but you would end up spending more than 40

honestly, i would do a Supra build...they really reward you for your efforts.

A 2nd Gen Viper should be about as practical as your S2000. Just not at the pump.
