Sports Car (what would you choose)

So say you were in the same boat as me having the option of buying the following cars which would you choose.....


Honda s2000
Porche Boxter S
Bmw z3
Bmw z4
nissan 350z
infitini g35

none of them will be brand new obvioulsy.
and lets try to not be biased. Also lets try not to state the obvious comments like oh a boxter s is not a real porche its a wannabe be porche and people only get it cuz they can afford a 911. that maybe true but the boxter s is still better then any of the cars above mentioned.

At the moment I have my mind set on the porche boxter s because its different and not something you see on a daily basis like the other cars mentioned and it is a porche sure its not the best but that doesnt have the fact that it still is a porche...


keep in mind that none of the cars I will be getting for the going prices now so price is not a problem for me as I am going to get any of the above mentioned for dirt cheap. And i have also considered all my options' in terms of servicing the car, insuring the car, etc etc.....

lets hear from you guys....and non biased info is needed here so lets not jump on the bandwagon and say s2k.

definitely go with the Porsche....just the fact that its a "porsch-ah" makes you superior than everyone else


it also goes well with the ladies

The Nissan 350Z is my runner-up.

I'd rate them 1-3 in this order

1. Porsche Boxster S
2. Honda S2000
3. Nissan 350Z

Porsche is Porsche, its handling and everything will be amazing and its pretty much direct competition with S2000, however the S2000 is wicked nice too and capable of some pretty serious performance. If you plan on modding the cars, i'd go with S2000 over Porsche.

tough call between the s2000 and boxter. how reliable is the boxter compared to honda quality? i'd hate to spend a fortune on maintenance which is the reason why i bought a honda in the first place. if money wasn't an issue for me i'd probably pick the boxter over the s2000.
