A 350 Z and before that several Boxsters. Really like my Bullitt. It takes me back to my youth, I'm 68.
When I was 22 the Mustang fastback had just come out, although i was a Chevy gut and had a '64 Malibu with a small block and 4 speed. 220 hp as I recall.
The movie Bullitt came out in 1968 or 69 and i loved the car, but I was still driving my 5 year old malibu and had 2 kids. An Olds Vista Cruiser was our family car by 1970.
When the '08 Bullitt came out, well the fire was ignited. i went back to American Muscle and never looked back.

Try to find a domestic 4-door sedan with 250-ish HP and a stick shift for around $30k.
