I was talking about this with my honey the other day and I thought it would be cool to see what others would say.

I told her I MIGHT be talked into trading for an Ariel Atom.

I thought about this real hard when Warren offered to buy mine.
What other car gets 0 to 60 in close to 4 seconds, corners as good or better, and gets over 30 mpg on the highway?

Fun factor alone made me keep it.

Less frontal area of the others, wider, lighter, good in a hit, 50 state road legal, no exotic drive parts to worry on. A lot to like.

If you weren't allowed to sell off the car you trade for, had to drive it forever.. If the car you traded for had to be similar cost.. those qualifiers narrow it. Esprit? Elise? Exige? Lotus seemed to have a similar philosophy as Mosler did. Not sure what to make of the Evora, but the older stuff did anyway.

Agree yes Trackhawk. Just looked it up.

I'd have said 993 turbo, but those are ridiculous in price. The same complaint people have about the GTP they have about the 996. The headlights. Although the 996 is a lot curvier, the 'runny egg' lights keep the prices down.

I would probably pull the trigger to swap for a gen 5 Viper.
