I see fascination in new Porsche. In 2016, I added up options I wanted which was nothing out of norm on many other cars. Gulp over $130k with no discounts. No German Euro pickup anymore - and when it was available dealer wanted extra $500 to place order using his allocation.
I ended up with the new Mazda MX-5 Miata. A small (too small for some), light weight, good power to weight ratio, nimble, reliable and great bang for buck. Mine only 155 hp but newer ('19 up) are 181 hp (same 2L displacement). Most new ones have LSD and Bilstein shocks - some with Brembo and BBS wheels. In addition to a soft top convertible - there is a retractible fastback - a targa like vehicle (open or coupe) weighing only 100 more. Fun car to drive without "get thrown in hp" of a Porsche. Car is small and many buy expecting something else (like Speedster replica?) - so lots of low mileage used examples out there. There is an 6 speed autotrans option with paddle shifter but no LSD. Lots of aftermarket parts - even supercharger which gives over 250 hp.
Zoom-Zoom.
