I agree.

Is there anything you dont like about the C6? Or is it your tired of it. If so some mods could change that. If you dont like the C6, interior or exterior, I would probaly say stay away from the 06 ZO6.

Why wouldn't you just mod your C6? I would think a TT 427 from lingenfelter would change your mind drastically. Why not just pop in a LS7 crate engine into your C6 vert? All the cars these people are suggesting are definitely not verts or targas. I'd say go for a 04 cobra vert and slap a KB or whipple on it for a good 600 hp. I'd take that over the viper anyday. But thats just me since I have a mustang.

Lotus Elise and swap a k20, since the 2zz isnt very bolt on friendly and the k20 has a bigger after market support.

1967 (authentic) Shelby Cobra. May not be the fastest, or handle the best, but god damn is it sexy.

sorry about the targa comment, meant to say cabriolet 997. i have a c6 coupe, not vert, and AT, which was a compromise between me and my fiancé. we both are looking for something sporty but different, and a vert would be nice!

we drove an 06 Cayenne Turbo today, and WOW... i was impressed immensely! the adjustable ride height was amazing, not to mention the other electronic goodies. the handling was evo-ish except with an additional 2500 lbs+.

im just not sure as the route im going to take, as i haven't driven the 911 turbo yet (and yes im a porsche enthusiast as of today!)

My bad, forgot about the 100k limit. In that case, new Z06.

Id get a brand new AM V8 Vantage (should be right around $100k, but not with tax). But anyway, what about a BMW 6-Series? Thats a pretty sexy vert.

Cayenne? Well, that's certainly a different direction from the C6.

I've seen several SL55s and even CL600s going for under 80k used. Not only are these both insanely fast luxo-cruisers, but they are mod friendly and handle well enough for 99% of the population. There are quite a few owners who pull mid 11s with minimal bolt-ons, problem free, and it makes quite a comfy daily driver.

That's my two cents.
