To be more specific, my dream setup would be a coupe (not convertible/soft top) mid engine rear wheel drive with manual gearbox.

I can see my future car is gonna a Cayman S or R.
Ok, I forgot the the Gallardo is AWD, but there is also a RWD version. But I think the same as you, targetting on a Cayman S, but can't afford it ATM.

We are on the same line. Sitting "on" the rear axle is fun (Caterham). My "perfect" car would be a car with two seats, about the size of a Honda S2000 but wider and as a coupé, with a mid-front NA 4.0l-4.8l H8 making 500-600 PS, having a transaxle 6MT gearbox and weighing about 1200 kg. Badged Prosche or Alfa Romeo.

Tell me about it man. A new Cayman R is $200k here. Freaking ridiculous.
