Still, there was a time that I actively cross-shopped a new 986S against an E46 M3, and I picked the latter. Make of that what you will. The E90 was nice enough, with good V8 noises, but I'd want to drive a Mustang/Camaro before doing that, because I'm not sure it's nicer than either of those cars. I would buy this before an M3, I think: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-bmw-330ci-zhp/ And I would buy this because it is awesome. http://bringatrailer.com/2016/06/21/...orsche-928-s4/ |

If competition is part of the plan, forget what I said about the 330. Get an M3. But doesn't bren already have one of those? |

As fun as that could be, I don't really want to pay for one (although maybe a partial Wonger special could make a little sense) and I don't think I'd want to drive one to work every day. And we all know I can't be fixing one every night after work. Now here's another thought...building my Miata for CSP. The Danny/Sammy comparison video makes a case (CSP Miata running about the same speed as a C6 GS driven by a top driver having a great day). I'm guessing the build wouldn't be that expensive and I already have a chassis (that may need some minor straightening), so... And I could keep the FoST or replace it with a truck. I think the Garfield car is still available for $9k including a hardtop. Hmm...

I'm not sure what that would have over JV's DSP E46 330Ci when they're both not broken.
