Midlife crisis... or what $75k sportscar

[Payman]

[the Teuton]

The Z4 isn't $75k.  It's maybe $55k.

The Porsche is only up there with a lot of options, too.

[Raza]

And none of them are sports cars. 

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Tough pick between the Z06 and GT-R! Finding a GT-R selling for list mite pose a problem so I'll vote Z06.

Shaman?

Shaman? 

You know Shaman!?  You've been around longer than I thought.

  It wasn't that long ago when Shaman was around.

Carspin has been around for several years.  Since 2004 or 2005.  Shaman was never a member here, as far as I know.  So that means, he must have been a C&D member.  And I didn't know he was a transplant.

Yep!

I'm going to do this through a process of elimination.

Corvette ZO6 - When am I ever going to use 500 hp?  It'd be like buying a truck and never using the bed.
Porsche Cayman S - I wouldn't spend $75k on one.  They depreciate pretty well to pick up a gently used one for $40-50 with all of the goodies.
Lotus Evora - I really like it, but I don't know enough about it.
Nissan GT-R - It's my practical choice.  But what's practical about a midlife crisis?
BMW Z4 - I really like it, but I don't think I could pick it over the others.

That being said, I'd have to go with a gently used 997 cabrio if I were having a midlife crisis today.

Shit, you can get a  Cayman S for $40 or $50?  Can you get me one?

Wow, I didn't realize this site has been around that long.  I guess it has been awhile.

I think I'd get a Maserati Spyder, after seeing (and hearing) one right next to a GT-R today. 

[the Teuton]

Out of these, because I know I'll have to rank them:

1) Evora
2) Z4
3) GT-R
4) Cayman S
5) Corvette Z06

Old one or new one?  I saw a Coupe running Nitto street slicks today, and it's become a lustful obsession.  But you can get one of those for $35k or so.

I meant thousand.   I forgot the k.

In any case, loaded, 6,000 miles, $45,000.

The last one.  I saw one today opposite a GT-R, and I just thought "what stupid fuck cunt retard cunt would buy a GT-R when you could buy the Maser instead?"

[Payman]

Shaman? 

  Fuck that guy was anal. Knew his shit though.

... and okay, maybe I should have said $50~$80k range.

[Rupert]

Porsche!

[Xer0]

Porsche without any difficulty.  I dont like the Evora, give me an Elise instead.  The GT-R looks like ass and never really apealed to me.  The Z06 honestly scares the shit out of me, I'd much perfer a Z51 LS3 one.  The Z4 is meh.

Now, if you were to throw a SLK55 AMG in there, I would have a slight problem.

[Vinsanity]

I'm totally with you on that one

I hated that asshole. Yelled at everyone for posting hot hatches and whatnot in the sports and GT section then posted about his shitty ass Grand Prix GT in it.

In any case: Z06.

I believe he had a 500+hp SLP Formula Firehawk.

[omicron]

What's the point of a midlife crisis without the wanton consumption of resources? Give me a Z06, damnit.

That Z4 is dreadfully, painfully unattractive.

[ChrisV]

And none of them are sports cars. 

Except the Z4 is a very traditional sports car in layout and proportion. The rest are GTs, though.

An Evora roadster could be delicious indeed.

[SVT666]

And "GT cars".   

Every definition I have seen would disagree with you...including the FIA.

[SVT666]

Z06, though I would rather buy a used Viper.
