In 1992 and 1993, the only two years in which FD was sold in Italy, it was listed at "today's" 60536 USD.
I cannot remember how much the Vette costed at that time but I think around 68000 USD
Today the Vette lists at 89000
Elise at 54000
F430 at 181650
S2000 at 48000
Gallardo at 174000
and the Exige at 58000
Zonda, Murcielago (and not Diablo) and Enzo are much much more expensive
and that both Lotuses are not exactly to be considered as a daily driver, when '7 was
I think the only that remains is the S2K
considering also that the price on the used market for the Lotus is very, very high, when it is not for the S2K being japanese

Hmm.. .a lot of people strayed from the original choices at the beginning of this really old thread... 
btw: 181,650 for a F430... assuming you could get it at that price!
I've seen some people list their 430's for over $300k....

I debate between an MKIV, Skyline R33, Z06, EVO, Viper GTS, WRX (screw the STi), or possibly a S14.....I am currently selling my latest FD and once it is gone, I will more than likely end up in another one....I always want to try something different with them. I have had a T78 RX8, BNR stage 2 TT RX7, and currently a T61 RX7 as well as an S5 TII, S4 TII, and two GXL's.....definately prefer single turbo FD's and will go single with the next one as well.

But, for a 'comparable' car, I'd say S2K. Not as fast, but 'reliable'
Heard it could have 500+ whp too (w/ lots of money)

Almost. A friend of mine is actually out in Phoenix right now testing the Z06 against a Porsche, Viper, and some other cars. GM wanted a rep for the S.E. region to test this car out. GM also gave the very first one off the line to Rick Hendrick here in Charlotte. It's gonna be a bad-*** car!
