I'm gonna get flamed to a crisp for this, but... probably one of the new 2003 supercharged Mustang Cobras.

I would go for a Morgan, any TVR, any Rivolta, or any C-2 and any early C-3.
No *** pretenders.
A Mustang isn't sports car, niether is an Impala SS a sports car.
Maybe a sports sedan, but even that is pushing it.

Well, I have a 97 Mitsu. 3000GT, but I don't like it. Gonna sell it soon. So, as to what I would own? Probably a Porshe Boxter.

BMW M3 or M Roadster.

More likely, a used 850, I think they are one of the prettiest looking cars ever made

I'm surprised nobody said Nissan 300ZXTT ('90-96). Those cars kick butt (300 hp) and can be had on the cheap right now.

Come on everyone. The topic said "in the same price range." I'd have to say Nissan 300ZXTT. I recall a test on 300ZxTT entitled "Corvette Killer." Motor Trend, Car And Driver or Road And Track. Can't find the magazine at the moment.

Both of those are fine automobiles but they break your rule. If you are talking about the price range of a new Corvette (40-50k) there arent many options, the '03 Cobra is about as good as it gets, from there you have the M3's maybe a good used Viper. If you are talking the price range of a good clean used C4 (15-25k) then the options get better, 300ZX TT, Supra MKIV, RX7, Firehawk or Z28 SS.

Give me a black '97 850csi and I'll be a happy mother*@$#er. :yesnod:

Other than the Beamers:
mid '90s Supra
3000GT or Stealth TT AWD
Audi TT Quatro
whatever Porsche I could afford
wrecked Viper.
burned Ferarri
etc...

There are too many cool cars out there to just own the same thing over and over. I actually doubt my next car will be a 'Vette. I don't doubt that I will eventually return to a Corvette though.
