Top 5 cars under $200k
 
if you can afford under 200k on a sports car what would it be in order!
911turbo s
r8
acura nsx
Mercedes amg gt
viper acr

2017ZO6 03-06-2017 10:51 PM

C7 zo6
 
One car needs to be deleted. The C7 ZO6 needs to be added.

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...

remove viper and/or the amg..

replace with the Z06.

I would also never buy an R8. Too boring and outdated by now imo.

Agreed

BMadden 03-06-2017 11:28 PM

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

My list would be the same, I've much considered a 911 turbo S. I really like the 570S as well but until there is a Mclaren dealer or somewhere to take the car in Seattle, it's a no go.

If you enjoy being insanely wrong then more power to you!

Al3x_666 03-07-2017 03:26 AM

Z06/Z07
Viper ACR
Cayman GT4
Mclaren 570S
Aston Martin V12 Vantage-S

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.

Ohhhhhhhh, boy! You just opened a can of worms. You do realize this is a Corvette forum, right? ;) :D

Jus Cruisin 03-07-2017 08:03 AM

Mine is a different group....

1941 Willys blown 540
2017 Ford F150 Raptor
1969 Mustang Boss 429
2016 Bentley Continental GT
2016 Lamborghini Huracan (close enough to $200,000)

Already have a Corvette. My group is what I don't have....

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.
