I think you could get an older, nice Class 1 buggy for 150k.

Oh yeah!

Camaro ZL1, and put the other 75k into a supercharger and exhaust if you want to really get froggy.

Or, ZL1 and buy your new best friend (me) one too so we can hang out and go to car meets and stuff.

But somehow is faster than the "sports cars" listed here.
Get a boombox and play some motor sounds if you need it to be loud.

Sadly you aren't touching anything buta 991.1 GT3 for under 190k at this point.

I asked a similar question 5 years ago.

What could I get that was the most fun, best handling, fastest with a manual transmission (a must). My budget was $100,000, about the same as today when you consider the premiums dealers are asking and getting.


A new 2017 C7 Zo6 Zo7 was a touch over my budget but well worth it. It is not a daily but now has 96,000 miles, lots of track days and a shit ton of fun times with it. If I could do it over I wouldn't do anything different.

Under current market conditions all you GT3 guys need to up your cash stack another 30-50 grand.  And if it is a 992 GT3 double it.  It's insane out there.  The used R8 I saw a few weeks ago was 180,000.  Lightly used loaded C8 corvettes are listed for 110-120.  Hell the 2020 992 Carerra S I saw today with 7000 miles was listed at 152k.

911 is the right answer.  I scratched the itch with a lot less with a VW GTI, plus APR tune and a couple grand additional upgrades not as cool as a 911, but German 6 speed turbo fun on a budget.

And in that same color.... why... because I f**king love lime green. And if I am spending over 110k, I am getting Lime Green...

Have a single cylinder air cooled two stroke VW beetle built.


I might have more fun in that than anything else I could buy for $150k


That or shoehorn a Ferrari V12 into the minivan

Correct. It's a super car.

I have a 1991 Mazda Miata I took the A/C and power steering out of, added a Hard Dog roll bar, Bilstein shocks and oversized sway bars. I put it on Potenza Pole Position tires and called it good.

I bought it for $1200 and added a couple grand into it and when I feel like it I take it out.

It is an Old School sports car and I am a grouchy Olld School kind of guy and that's more than good enough for me.


YMMV

911 for sure, but I’d probably lean towards classic like a really good 993 and budget for repairs
