What would you replace your 993 with?

Another 993, given the constraint that one has to spend the same as what your 993 cost.
If the same $ wasn't assumed, I would replace with one of these, depending on my budget:
1. 997 GT3
2. 997S w/aero kit
3. 964 Turbo
I would like any of the above, but need to drive a GT3 to see if mostly street use would be too harsh. Have been thinking about a 996 GT3, but not sure I can get past the looks and build quality (no offense to anyone).

I doubt that I'd ever part with my 993, but if I ever did (or had the budget to add another toy car to the garage) I'd probably buy a Lotus Exige S. A little tough to squeeze my 6'4" frame in there, however.

550 maranello or 360 coupe 6spd. I owned a 328 for 10yrs and it was absolutetly reliable. Nothing ever went wrong with that car and I really miss that sound.
I really like the 993 but I just don't get the same excitement from driving it. A friend once told me that driving a Ferrari is an "Event" and everything else is just cars. He has owned just about every make and I have driven just about every make and he is absolutely right. That's my opinion anyway.

i was in the market for a 7GT3 to replace my 993 but just couldn't do it.
Don't get me wrong, the GT3 is an amazing car and looks fantastic.
The 993 is a keeper and when I can add another car it will be a GT3.

Okay....let's be realistic here....avg 993 will be $25 to $35K. What car would you consider replacing the 993 for? I think that was the intent of the question.
As for me, I can do a 3.8 or supercharged 964. Would love to have a 930, but that won't work as a safe daily driver, ie. no airbags + ABS.
