i stick with my choice of 350z, but i'll be more specific: 35th Anniversary Edition. its a mix of the performance of the track pack (brembos, zero-lift Aerodynamics, ect..) with the luxuries of the touring model (leather, navigation, ect..) into one package... its available in canada and under 60k cdn after taxes and all.... oh and i'd get it in the yellow which is only available on hte 35th anniversary edition. :thumbsup

they're pretty limited in canada to. its MSRP is 50k... that car looks pretty damn good for full size luxury low 13sec crusier that makes a presence on the road.
about as quick, but more pimp & cheaper than a cts-v
good daily driver that hauls, but handles like shyt, only auto & terrible on gas

actually the srt8 is a very capable track car, fully irs, huge brembo's all around, 15" in the front i think, specially tuned koni suspension, list goes on. sure it sucks on gas, but 425hp in a daily driver that seats 4 adults comfortably and cheaper then m5 or ctsV, hell yea
but of course, big downside is its only auto... but lets just say a certain 6speed from a certain viper might make an appearance... didnt hear that from me

well, best aftermarket for a rwd car in my oppinion is FORD.. so a mustang i suppose... though a LS2 would be pretty sick..
Supras are old, and for a near stock used 93 for 30g's, might as well buy a 03 Cobra... not knocking the supras, but theres something appealing about owning a 2003 instead of a 1993 (12 year old car).... and you can make over 500 HP easy with the 03s
.
.
again, total preference to buyer.. so many variables.. for me, a 350z seems too small, though sharp looking. New 05 stang is kinda wack, 03 cobra is dope, new vette would kick ***... etc etc.. all depends what your tastes are.
