TT, SC, or just get an R8 or Porsche GT3?

Porsche or TT370Z, Four wheel drive is boring.

Congrats on finishing residency! I feel where you're at. I'm excited just to finish intern year. Anyways, if you feel having a nice car is gonna make you happy, then get one of those. Otherwise, from a financial standpoint, holding onto the z and modding as allowed by finances while paying off loans, or whatsoever is probably the better way to go.

P.S.
If i were you and I was gonna go into more debt for a car, screw it, go all out and go ferrari f430 or porsche gt2. Go big or go home right

R8 is pretty awesome! My dad just bought one couple months ago in February and has been in love!! Driven it myself and it is pretty beastly but yet luxurious at the sametime. Tough choice but i saw R8

If you enjoy the Z, stick with it and mod the hell out of it if you can afford it.

If you don't... well then. I personally could never see daily driving an R8 though, lol.

Since you mentioned daily driver as well, I would get the R8 V10, but you know what opinions are like

Hey Jamaica Dont give away my secret sauce!!!

lol for the money you will spend think about it this way. In a fully built Z you will have more of an attachment because like a child you have watched it grow from 260~hp to 500-600-800~hp. Not to mention you will be like me in a very exclusive group of modified cars. It will also give you the chance to make car magazine covers. Win Prize money and have a 1 of 1 car!

However, buy an exotic car like an v10 R8 or a porsche GT3 and you will have a warranty and everyone and their brother will ask you for money lol. You will get a prime time spot with the valet every where you go. But hey I get that with the Z already in ATL

Honestly, I would go the built route as to me it symbolizes your artistic nature and the ability you have to create something that is your own! Anyone with enough money can buy an R8 or GT3. However, only you will build your Z the way you build it!

I still like the idea of hoarding cash for a year.
