Got to wait 3 years on that for the prices to become sensible, **** taking the initial hit on a new one.

Nah, just other priorities right now.....oh I see what you mean, yes 2016 before a 998 will be close to 60K let alone 40K I suspect.

Giddy · 18 Jul 2010 at 21:31

When is the standard 998 due to be released?

Housey · 18 Jul 2010 at 21:33

2011/12 I think

996 GT3 is a cracking choice, however I can't help but feel its starting to look a little dated maybe? Also when is the 998 due out?

If you were thinking it was maybe looking dated you could do a 997 light conversion then reverse it before re sale and get half of the money back from the bits.

Thats the most obvious difference between a 996 and a 997.

I think the 996's have aged very well though to be honest, even inside.

Thats what East London OPC told me.

Running costs not an issue you say?

F355. Or a 993 Turbo, although I suspect a £40k one won't be particularly nice.

Ricochet J · 18 Jul 2010 at 21:43

It'll have to be a second hand Mercedes SL55 AMG.

I'm not a big fan of the 996 GT3 (probably because I'm in love with the 997 version), so I would go for the Aston AMV8.

Thats kinda sporty, right

well not exactly a 2 seater, but I would definately get this.

That, but not modified, which is why its that price, so its out of the price range.

As impressive as the GT-R is, its not really my cuppa tea. M3, RS4, GT-R all seem to appeal to the organised car thieves... whos gonna do a bank job in a V8 Vantage/ GT3 ?

Personally? A C6 Z06 Corvette.

If I were to make a recommendation that no one yet has made: Maserati Grand Sport.

You'd have to be bonkers to spend £40k on one of those, they are available for much much less!

£40k is nearly, but not quitem, Grantourismo money!

M6. Controversial choice, (and not a 2 seater) but I like them and they are seriously quick.

Proper 2 seater, Vantage probably if running costs weren't an issue.

This is awesome

Makes the GT3 looks pedestrian.

I would never purchase a car like that while I don't have a drive way and garage, but car thieves would never stop me purchasing anything out right, what a way to live life...

Just doesn't make it pedestrian.

I'd have a 997 C4S Cabriolet (in black thanks), doable for £40k on an '55/'06 or so.

GreenMint · 19 Jul 2010 at 20:30

Would have to be a Ferrari 360 for me.
