too many cars... my house was starting to look like a used car lot! haha.

I looked at a v10 RS spyder the other day, but it had auto. it was insane! it's on the short list for sure! amazing car.

Was afraid you were going to say that. I have....well, let's just say several cars, but I really would like to add an M3.

....and my R8 is a manual. Would recommend it over the r-tronic. Very sweet gearbox.

The M3 was sweet. was a 2011 sedan w/comp package and manual. traded it in for my Range Rover. it was fast and fun as all hell to drive and slide around. it was just too small... have a 9-month old and needed more space. great car though. comp pkg is a must.

Arrrggghh......that's exactly what I'm looking at!

LD, if not a 993 then a pre-owned Boxster Spyder will be hard to beat for what you're looking for as an interim vehicle:
- relatively inexpensive / warranty / limited numbers sold so likely to retain decent value when traded for the 991 / aesthetics beyond its price.
Good luck.

umm, GTS

I've got another one for you

Carrera GT.

Remains my dream car... that coupled with a Cup Car for the track.

What about this.... I've been eyeballin it for a while... looks fun

Carrera GT

I'd second the nomination of the GTS. I'd take it in AWD "4" and PDK. Cabrio if that's appealing -- still a brilliant, crisp car to drive even though it weighs in at a portly 3400lbs ... don't let that fool you, the chassis is tight and the suspension communicates pitch perfect. But the Cab is a tad noisy at speed.

Otherwise, 993 C4S.

Maybe 3.6 RS if you haven't tried it.

I'd avoid buying the same car twice -- life's too short. I don't know if you're seriously planning on no other car until the next generation RS, but if you really are holding a car for five years, it will be a challenge to find any one car that would be more appealing long term than a 3.8 RS.

Slow but nice to cruise the coast with and you will not lose a penny

A GTS Cab actually sounds great!

If you can, I'd take a R8 Spyder though

Based on your criteria I'd vote Boxster Spyder.

From everything I've read, the big difference between the Spyder and a regular Boxter S is the suspension. The differences in weight and power are pretty small but lowering and stiffening the car will make it feel a lot different. So, can you order a Boxter S with the Spyder non-PASM suspension and keep the standard top, etc? That would be my ideal compromise car.

Terry, I believe they do sell the Boxster Spyder coilovers on Suncoast

If I were in your shoes, and had a garage, I would definitely be looking at a long hood 911, or perhaps a 356. Fun to drive at sane speeds, won't depreciate too much, etc.

Think Steve McQueen in Le Mans.
