I would look into a Porsche GT3. Prices have come down and you can get a good pre-owned example in the high 80s, low 90s now. Thats what I'm considering, if only I could get the wife to agree.

IMO, the main problem w/ the 997 is trunk space. It's a second car for sure... I'd suggest the SL55... drives as well the E55 and the top comes down w/ a better growl...

I haven't decided what to get yet. I am just going to try a lot of cars before buying. I don't need a lot of room, two seats is fine and I definitely want a manual transmission in my next car.

I'll probably get torched for this, but if you want a combination of handling with some "utility" then the new M5 looks awfully nice, and can be ordered with a 6-speed manual. I have one on order, but am not sure about following through. Though I love the handling and engines on the M-cars I dislike the current BMW styling trend -- as well as their movement to excessive gadgetry. Another option might be a used BMW Z8; those have the "old" M5 engine and are very unique cars with great performance...
