Lotus exige S

A subtle Ferrari? Try this.

V12, leather cocoon, one of the better looking Ferraris - real elegance at a reasonable price. One of the more reliable Ferraris from the 90's. Built for cross continental comfort. Doesn't require engine-out maintenance.

You can grab a lotus elise for ~25k now. Don't know if it has been mentioned, but that may fit the bill.

My vote is for a 1965 Backdraft Shelby Cobra Replica. It even has E36 suspension, brakes and rearend.

Superformance shelby cobra!

55 porsche 550 is a pretty legit old cruiser

That would get my vote. Vintage Porsche looks, more reliable, and great for cruising.

look for an old school GT2 - the one with the rivets on the wheel wells.....SICK car.

Rare (only a couple thousand M Coupes built, fewer than 700 with the S54), distinctive looks, solid performance with an established upgrade path and holding their value quite well after 10 years. A modern car with a vintage feel, and you'll rarely pass another on the road. Also pretty practical for a 2-seater, thanks to the hatch
