Quote HistoryQuoted: Why waste money on that slow SUV when you can buy a Durango Hellcat? That’s what I did and I can beat 99% of “sports cars” 0-60 and I’ve had mine up to 176mph. Heated rear seats for the kids?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Tesla =/= sports car 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. Quoted: Correct. It's a super car. There is no such thing as a 4700lb sports car or super car. Straight line speed gets boring in a hurry and sub 3sec 0-60 is unpleasant and doesn’t add anything to the enjoyment of the car |

Were you into cars as a kid?
Any posters on your wall? Anybody you looked up to drive something special? Did you have a ride in a car that you can’t forget? We are experiencing a repeat of the early 90s where selling prices for current production is up and there are waitlists for anything really good. If it’s just an exercise… I’ve already got a couple of cars, a current project, and a next in line project. Some things I’d look at adding to the garage are: Audi R8 First Gen V8 manual Buick GNX Corvette C3 68-69 convertible small block with side pipes Camaro 67 RS/SS Ferrari 308 77-79 Ferrari 360 coupe manual only power steering delete preferred Jaguar XKE Lancia Delta Morgan Mustang ‘69 Mach 1 Porsche 912 Porsche 914/6 Porsche 911SC for a Safari build Any of those speak to you? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Lol that’s not even the same itch. FWD 4 cyl hatchback vs 6 cyl rear engine rwd sports car. GTI is a fun daily but not even close to any kind of representation of a fun weekend/track toy. I have a MK7 GTI autobahn and a 911 GT3. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/109231/20181028_132141-1941287.jpg Up until recently, he's always personally owned Corvettes and he always raved about their reliability compared to German cars, which he also owned through his various businesses. I just find it odd he went English and German after griping about the German cars he's owned. |

Right now? 911 GT3 RS+ some spare change. Absolutely no question.

I guess my 1st question is what are your intentions with the car. Drag race, auto cross / road racing, or just something to look at in the garage and going to cars and coffee.
Of the top of my head,, if you are good waiting a year, is a c8 z06. |
