Yup, me too hands down. I'd figure out how to get my corpulent frame in there. But make mine red with the Sport package, please. 
I may have to take my vote for a C6 back, the Elise slipped my mind for a minute. I'd have a seriously hard time deciding between these two. Either way, make mine yellow body w/black stripe (or no stripes). Not fond of the BRG.
I chose the Elise over the C6 for ease of control...although consumables usage and small size are pluses too.

That was my immediate answer too. A buddy just bought one a few months ago, and immediately supercharged it. I'm guessing all-in he's around $30k, and LOVES the car. Even with the SC, he's having a hard time breaking the rear loose around town. Pretty cool. Oh, and I'll take mine in white, or satin kelly green ;)

I will be making this exact decision sometime this week. Looks like my $ will be going towards a new Prius for the wife. Sweeeeeet!!!
I am so happy my wife wanted a 325 wagon. I'm not sure I could write that check for the excitement equivalent of a new clothes washer. It might be better to just get a divorce attorney. I mean - sure it will be more expensive in the long run but... you can drive whatever you want with the couple bucks you have left :)
This is her payback for me buying a motorcycle a week or two ago.
SWMBO would finish her '59 Invicta similar to the way this one is done though she is thinking the current Chevy Aqua Blue Metallic for the paint.

HARD choice between one of those or a nicely kept FD. Though honestly, I would prob buy another FD.
This:
Or this:
Either one can easily be had for under $20K. They were not perfect, but I have seen a Quattroporte for under $5k and an SM for under $7k that would have been fine with not too much work.
Tempted to say:
Westfield XI, but use a Suzuki G13B or G10T for motivation with a Sammi 5 speed box.
I'm ordering a '13 GT Mustang this weekend, so that's what I would spend $30k on.
How new an AWD 911 wil $30k get? 996, early 997? And a set of snows.
In reply to DoctorBlade:
I love the big truck when I'm towing but that $152 annual registration tax pisses me off every June.

Does the $30k include the trailer and tow vehicle?

The $30k certainly wouldn't include the money necessary to make it a dyno queen, so no trailer and tow vehicle necessary.
FFR Cobra with an RB26DETT under the hood.
Or perhaps a 911 3.2 Carrera.
But really, $30k on a vehicle seems like an overly expensive dream, one that I can't remotely justify.
How about this?
although I'd be much more apt to cough up the extra $5-8k and buy one of these
