The bigger issue for me is down time if the car is in the shop. That is a killer for me.

I mentioned in my original post that my budget is up to about $150k
Z06 is my recommendation then

I could sell you my e46 for 120k and you still have 30k for tires.

All 2012 and newer Ferrari now come with 7 year maintenance plan included, and newer Ferraris are really reliable...no rod bearings issues as far I know.

+1 Exotic looks, super car performance, luxurious interior & best of all NA V10! And I've read it's an excellent daily & doesn't beat you up like other super cars! Will be my next move in a couple of years.....

1000whp lamborghini Gallardo. That's on 93 pump gas. Want more add race gas and turn up the boost. It's 159k. One on autotrader and it's even a vert.

I also know a TT Viper with custom leather Italian leather interior making even more power that that Lambo and it's $56k. That car is a real beast and more car for the money than anything out there. 1500whp exotic for less than $60k. What are you waiting for?


Fuck buying a new car. Buy it built and bad to the bone.

a 1999 Toyota Avalon should suffice then. Try to find something with less than 85,000 miles.

I think you would be happy with any 991 variant or the AMG GT.

991 Turbo is a great car, but I can't justify the cost, a 991 GTS is a great all around car.

I had a 991 C4S, amazing machine.

AMG GT S I would say. The Porsche cars are amazing but they don't have the dream car look to me. GT does and if you have to wait for more reviews to come out I'd wait.

Chris Harris has a good piece about the car

Yep 911tt used use the rest for some cool boltons and driving events. Get the convertible because enjoy the summer weather and the it doesnt add much extra weight, increased visibility and easy to get in and out of.
Downside: it wont ever sound as cool as v8.

I also agree with AMG GT-S because nothing sounds better than spooling turbos and v8 exhaust note.

By the way Venom GT considered diminishing return at $1m?

Some might think i am the antichrist by saying this.......
Rent a lambo and a prancing horse i dont think youll want to actually own one. Spend at least 4hrs in each at least a week apart and i think youll be over it.

AMG GT S is looking very nice. I'd check it out along with the P Cars and Jag.

991 GTS....just saw one in white at Suncoast Porsche and it looked fantastic. If I could swing it right now, I'd be all over it.

Get a Ferrari F430; most of the maintenance concerns are supposed to be lessened from the 360 on up so that regular engine out service is not required and is cheaper. With your budget, you would have enough money left over to get a full on race prepped E36 and a trailer for pure, no fear track pleasure; you could store the race car and trailer when not in use so no concern with the extra cars and you could go club racing if you wanted.

If you had to pick one car the Porsche options would probably be best but you don't need nor want just one car. You said you have an S6 for your DD and your keeping your E92; go for options completely different.
