Let's see... Since I just bought a Z06 w/MSRP at $107k, it would be:
Z06 w/Z07 package, then
911 Turbo S, and finally
M/B AMG GT
None of the other three - they don't have space for my wheelchair except in the passenger seat - so that's a no-go.
Likewise, the mid-engine Corvette when it comes out - no space for a wheelchair so I'll be sticking with my C7 Z06...

Take the damn Viper off that list. No way in hell it deserves to be there over the Z06.

The new R8 V10 Plus is ridiculous. 2.6 0-60 and a 10.6 1/4 mile. One drives around my town and it looks downright killer.
I'd say:
R8 V10 Plus
Mac 570
Viper ACR
Z06
Z06
One Z06 would be a coupe for road use.
Another Z06 would be a stripped and heavily modded track rat.

You've stipulated "sports car", so that's a very useful curb on an otherwise unwieldy question.
My list is based on the best cars in each little sports car niche. No ranking.
A) Gen V Viper ACR. Because big NA, big aero, last of the breed.
B) C7 Z06/Z07. Amazingly capable, tons of content, daily driveable, targa top (!), best value.
C) 911 GT3 RS (or Turbo S, OK). Gotta have a P-car.
D) 570S or Huracan? Either; this is my "semi-exotic" mid-engine on the list.
E) Can I sneak into a used Scud for $200k? F430, because, well, Ferrari.
Many, many GT cars that I'd prefer to a stable of five sports cars, but that's a topic for another day ;-)

Other than the Z06, the only other car I really like is the Viper ACR. The car is a beast and terrific on the track.
