2011 Corvette ZR1

I am currently really feeling like a 997 (.2 if possible) C2S as a second car/toy. Something different. Manual, no bells and whistles just all car. Seem to be holding their values at somewhere around 50k around here so i wouldn't feel like its too much of a waste of money either. Can find much better prices out of province so i would consider doing a lowish sight unseen offer and make it a roadtrip back home ( Canada is a big country and a lot of specimens are for sale in Ontario/Quebec ). Who knows I might even be able to keep the value stable for importing it into Alberta due to higher local pricing after a few years of ownership.

Would still DD my M235i which has all the creature comforts ( and a warranty ).

Prices for me are for CAD so it doesn't reach as far as for you guys pricing in USD.

Ford Focus RS to DD while F80 sleeps.

For full on performance it has to be the GTR, but I really like the idea of the modern m6. I would love a c63 but after owning a few fairly new mercs I think it would
1 fuck up daily
2 not actually feel like a performance car unless in a dead straight line
3 not have the "fizz" after you get used to that mental sound I think it would be bland

Nah, for your wife since she's really the one with the penis, apparently.


RS comes with a real tranny.

That's a lot of performance for 60k.

Or a 996T or 997.

I think I would now have to go with a 2016 Shelby Gt350R with a 7:32.19 at the Nurburgring. Staying with BMW to get 4 second faster you have to spend another $75K to get the M4 GTS. But the GT350R is less than the M4 which is 20 seconds slower.

I was at the Ford Nationals car show this weekend, and they have the 350 and 350R there. The Ford guys did say it was a bit rough to drive them, so the BMW probably still has a better ride overall.

This was going to actually be my first choice, but you won't be able to find them within the price range specified by the OP, at this point.

Those new RS focuses are impressive and im sure loads of fun, but not my cup of tea.

I suspect you to be right, when I bought my 07 335I which I still have I was also looking at the GT500 and the dealers were marking them up $10K and their was a waiting list.

[Robm129]

I would go for the GT 350. That flat plane crank just calls me!

Used C7, New Camaro SS, Used C6 or Z4M with money left over for a used FRS/BRZ.

[EstorilM]

996 turbo! Got one a couple months ago.

[M_Six]

Does it have to be pure performance? Or can cool factor in? Because if I had $20k to dump on a "performance" car that put a smile on my face every time I looked at it, it would be an E24 M6. Quite possibly the most gorgeous design ever.
