Default Need a second car : looking at alternatives.

Love the LS1, but I am thinking one built Ls1 is enough to keep me busy (totally built 99Z28 with Agostino heads cam...). Looking at a second sports car to keep stock and to be my daily driver. Has to be peppy and sporty. Need some ideas: so far I have looked at the mitsubishi eclipse gs-turbo and the honda s2000. Give me some suggestions, thanks. <img src="images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0">

The new Eclipse's impressed the hell outta me. A buddy of mine has one, and that little V6 pulls pretty darn good.

A close second choice would be a upper line Prelude M5. Very nice gas mileage and enough pep to get out in traffic if you need to. Not a bad looking car either.

My third choice would be one of the new MR2 Spiders. Pricey, but nice and peppy.
