Likely an R8, but not sure. Haven't ever really given it much thought, as nothing much else interests me at the moment.

Do you know who has the Argento 488 with the plate "TOKYO" in town? Had a black 458 previously.

Saw it yesterday on Peachtree.

I think a lot of love for AMG and M cars because you can drive them without huge hit on maintenance and depreciation as well as good dealer network. I drive around 20-24 k miles a year, between work and fun and certainly can't afford that kind of mileage on a Ferrari .

I think I would have bought a F430 Scuderia. I can get one for around $210k. A stretch relative to what I paid for my GT3, but that is the only non-Porsche car that really gets me excited.
Aston Vantage. The looks and growl are intoxicating. Lack of technology and poor reliability is a major turn off of course.

McLaren 570s and Audi R8 attract too much attention and not very practical for daily use.

That was the other one that came to my mind after an M of some sort.

I have no real idea on apples-apples-oranges comparisons ? But the Miata MX-5 is one heck of a great roadster, that is why we still own one. My first list on this thread included AMG's R8's etc, etc, all great cars. But at the end of the day I can have just as much fun on a small twisty road in my MX-5 as I can in my P-Cars. I just need to do the Monster Miata LS engine upgrade to be able to scare myself as much as I can in the TTS.
