Trying to figure out what I want to add to the stable next. These are the *must-haves* - V8-V12, roadster/convertible, manual transmission.

Here's what I currently have - 65 shelby cobra, rcr porsche 917, rcr porsche 962, rcr superlite, 08 murcileago lp640 roadster, 08 Viper roadster, 02 c5 z06, 18 c7 z06 'vert, 04 mustang cobra 'vert, 14 mustang gt500 'vert

Not interested in any more corvettes (or camaros). Gen 2 Viper might be interesting if I could find one locally. Not interested in an R8 or gallardo because I already have a murci. All I can think of is a Diablo roadster (20+yr old lamborghini ... ehhhhh), Carrera GT (expensive!) or Ultima gt-r.

Am I missing anything?

Ferrari 550/575
Aston Martin can be had in v12 configuration as well

Different strokes. Front engine, RWD, Manual is the sweet spot for me. But I wouldn't turn down a mid engine, especially that new Gordon Murray T.50!

If you are considering a classic (?) what about an E type Jaguar (XKE) the series 3 is a V12, although if I had the choice I would have a series 1 with the straight 6 engine

Always been one of my dream cars

Let me just hack the roof off it first to make a roadster ;)
(aware of Medusa conversion)

Slooooooow. I should have specified atleast 500 hp/tq. I've been spoiled by American big cubes, big torque.

You want a nice DD style car that fits those requirements and more? Hellcat Challenger 6 speed.

Consider a 2005-2006 Ford GTX. They are pretty rare, but can be found...

Good call - I totally forgot about the GTX ... can't imagine the price is worst than a Carrera GT, heh

I own a 2005 Ford GT and love it. From what I have seen the GTX's that have been on the market range from around $300K to $500K. Lots of power and certainly an attention getter!

If usable back seat is a desire why not a Challenger Hellcat convertible conversion? Be rare, fun, and able to carry multiple folks.

Or a ZL1 Convertible?
