> [@JoesTypeS](#): > > 30K "super’ cars aren’t worth the effort after all of this, this is the most valuable post in the thread. :shrug: The amount of people not understanding what is meant by a $30k car is amazing as well. It doesn’t mean you can find one, 250k mile example on ebay for $30k, it means that a desirable example of said car would be sold in the $30k range. That said, of the original choices (if I were to have to chose). I’d rule out the Viper because early Vipers are lame. I’d rule out the Elise (for you) because you’ve already done that. The NSX is the most “exotic” looking, but is a fanboy-mobile and pretty lame. The C6 would be an interesting new platform for you imo, but is pretty common. So, to drive (and inevitably mod) I’d say the C6. To look cool, and have all the tools on your nuts even more, I’d say the NSX. Personally I’d pick the Elise or the C6, but have been more in the mood for a V8/RWD car lately so I’d end up saying C6. ---

what is important to know is that: A) i am not buying any new cars anytime soon. B) this thread actually sparked from an IM convo i was having with someone looking to buy a car in this range. ---

Based on which I would think would be the most fun to drive, coolest looking, unusual to find (for WNY), nice riding (From a Cruising point of view not Comfort, pull the top and go), and most of all the biggest head turner (At least what I would look at more than the others)…I would say NSX. ---

if i had $30k to spend on a car, i wouldn’t. of the cars on the list, i would get the 911 and put some coilovers and wide-ass BBS LM’s or Work SP1 / SSR Prof’s on it… X51 pack or something… fuck yes. Elise i would love but not willing to pay canadian prices for it. I’d be better off buying a 911 in the US and importing. Part of me wants the hot car so that when i roll up on some social event all the ladies go bonkers… but then i realise that i dont go to social events and that i’m married with children already… which would be a bad thing… if my wife weren’t so awesome… which means that banging around in janky 240sx’s with $30k into them (still looks like less than $4k into it though) is just fine. ---

I would pick an 05+ boxster for 30-40. but from this list I had to go with 996, second choice elise. at this point I have to consider what the use of the car is… the 996 does everything well. ---
