Unfortunately, I'm going to have to stop spending money for a while in order to be able to afford it.

If you have to struggle to afford it why in the world would you spend so much money on a car?

I like the corvette Z06 65k

Lotus Elise, and it's not even close.

Just checked this car out and damn, it is all that.

Still, the ducati will own all these cars performance wise and you'll still have $50k to spend on whatever you like.

elise is really really small though. i think the jury's still out on whether or not it will be widely considered an effeminate car, for those that may be concerned.

It very much reminds me of Toyota's MR2 Spyder.

I don't think you can call it a girly car, it's far too aggressive looking for that. I would call it incredibly impractical, though. Definitely not the car to get if you need a reliable primary vehicle, more like the weekend getaway car.

I have a Mustang GT right now. With $1500 of mods, I'm at 285 HP and 0-60 in roughly the same. For $25K less, lol.

I love the M5 and the M3. I'd love to end up with an M3, as I obviously can't afford the M5...but even the M3 is a bit pricey.

My mother owns a 330ci, and I've fallen in love with convertibles. So I might just have to save my money for the M3 vert.

Edit: Just looked at the M3 vert again on the website. Customized it modestly at $59,245. That is holding the #1 spot strongly right now. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to stop spending money for a while in order to be able to afford it.

my m3 will eat ur mustang!!! u know u dont have to get a BRAND new one...even one a year old or a demo would be in your price range...

[Voltron87]

if youre young, buying a 50-60k car is a really good way to flush a lot of money away. its a huge financial waste.

If your budget is that much why settle for a compact car? Unless you really value the super performance aspect of it, an M3 is so silly to get when you can get pretty damn solid performance with a mid sized import. Go for an A6, Mercedes E class or BMW 5-series. If performance is that important I'd still pick a Corvette Z06 over an M3.
