What to buy now?!

So by now I'm sure we've all heard what the d-bags at Mitsubishi are doing with the Evo. After several stages of grief I am at a loss for what kind of car to buy next!

Now that the evo is no more what are your plans for you next car?! Vette? STI? M3? Dare I ask Mustang?

I'm looking for strictly performance, I couldn't care less about bluetooths or nav systems. That's why I loved my Evo9!!! What the hell is out there for me!!

Not really. It's my rental while the Evo's at the shop.

That is hot.

However, it could never be a good family car and seems to be less than practical as a daily driver.

As I said though it is still hot and might be very fun to drive.

Looks like it's a kit car.

If there's no more Evo, then the only other choice for me is the Nissan GTR.

What about one of these?



Or, a 350hp turbo elise (on ebay)



I can pretty close to buying a force fed turbo elise before getting the my evo. The wife wanted a 4 door, so that was my compromise

Anyone opinions on the genesis coupe? I test drove one, the v6 is actually pretty nice. A lot nicer than I thought a Hyundai would ever be
