Definately go for an S2000. If I had that much money I'd go for a WRX.

Hell yeah, go for the S2000.

That damn car revs to 9000 RPM and looks sweet. If you get a black one with the the new removable hard top Honda sells you could have a pretty unique car.

With that much money to spend, I'd go for a restored muscle car, can't beat them.

BMW Z3 with the 3.0L 6cyl and a 5spd is a nice convertible...

You could probably get something like this for around $24K

Can't go wrong with the S2000, it's an awesome car. I'd also check out the Hyundai Tiburon GT, I picked one up about 2 months ago and I love it.

Go with a Scion TC. They are about $17,000 and are a base 175hp. Then you get the TRD turbo, exhaust, cold air and some 18" put on and your at about $21,000. Then you have a pretty nice car. Those cars are really easy to get up to show quality.

Well truth is with buying any of these cars you aren't going to be very unique. If ya wanna be unique stick with the 'woo. If ya wanna fit in with all the other cookie cutter cars get one of the above mentioned.

Ya... the Z4 is better but I doubt you'd find one with low mileage for the amount you want to spend.

I love the G35 Coupe.... I hope one day they will have a Convertible AWD G35 Coupe... I think I'd have to buy one.

The 350Z will definitly kick the S2000's ass with some upgrades.... don't get me wrong.... Honda did a fine engineering job on the engine but the Nissan engine is capable of some really serious low/mid torque.

I also like the Mercedes SLK ... which is a convertible ( removeable hard top??)
