Using your list, I would rank thusly:

3) 911turbo s (not big on Porsches)
5) r8 (ugly as sin)
1)acura nsx (interesting tech and a looker too)
2) Mercedes amg gt (very nice)
4) viper acr (a track car, not really a street car)


Here is my no-particular-order list:

Aston Martin DB9 or Vantage V12
Ferrari California T
Jaguar F-Type
McLaren 570s
Maserati GrandTurismo

Absolutely.
It's a beautiful car (IMO).
And it has a lot of advanced tech stuff on it.
Granted, it isn't the fastest thing around, but its uniqueness and style makes up for that.
Of course, YMMV.

I hear ya, I guess I'm underwhelmed by the astehics. I'd probably opt for a Tesla in that realm of car. It would not be on my list of a 200K supercar.

Unfortunately and from my POV, there is only one American Sportscar right now.

If anyone can get the 570S for under $200,000, I'd like to know where, unless you buy one used. My wife and I test drove the 570GT and that was around $210,000.

NSX is a far less expensive version of the Porsche 918, La Ferrari and McLaren P1. Intriguing technology.

Given that I have an AMG GTS in addition to the Z06, I would keep that on the list -- very quick and stable.

To find a 458 Italia coupe below $200,000, you'd likely have to buy one with significant mileage. Not that mileage should matter all that much, but Ferrari owners tend to value low mileage cars above all, which keeps prices high.

1975 AMC Pacer
1970 AMC Gremlin
1975 Ford Pinto
1976 Chevy Chevette
1969 Honda 600

All would turn heads today,gain in price and would be fun for all the wrong reasons.

PS:There would still be a bunch in the bank account!

You said sports cars so my list:
-z06/z07 with callaway
-570s
-viper acr
-911 turbo s
-would say huracan but if that's not valid, a restomod 1968 firebird with new corvette suspension all around, lt4 crate engine, c7's 7 speed trans, custom interior that looks retro but uses high end modern materials and tech

If we can do things other than sports cars, believe it or not I would replace the viper with the all new 2017 ford f450 platinum ultimate. With all options and taxes and other fees, its not that far from 100k.

It isn't the lack of mileage that keeps prices high, it's the fact Ferrari deliberately keeps the production low.
It's the ol' Supply & Demand thing...
