It looks like you've already had your Bimmer dose. I'm not real brand loyal myself.
Life is too short to attach to one brand of car.
Someone suggested a Lotus...but I wouldn't recomend it. I had a 1990 Turbo SE, and the pitiful reliability made me hate it. Owned it for one year. I had it towed 7 times. 3 times out of my driveway. I only put 5000 miles on it....The definition of LEMON. It was a new car. The stupidest things broke...things that NEVER should break....If the quality is improved let me know, but I'm going to take a LOT of convincing. The other problem is that there is no support for Lotus in this country.
On the Viper...the "kit car" comments are a bit trite...interior quality has much improved through its 9 year tenure. I'll admit that I'm leaning towards the Viper b/c I've always had more fun in exotics. They are impractical...more "toys"...then anything...but that's the beauty. There are more Viper shops around then I can count, so support is always available.
I have long thought about an NSX, but the power just isn't there. I want my sunday cruiser to be the best bang for the buck for fun and flash.
and who needs more than 340hp? It's all relative. I had a 550hp monster for a while, and nobody needs that power.....but it sure is fun....
