What car should I buy that will give me the feel of a Porsche GT3 within a $180k budget?
My budget is $180k.
My original goal was a 2016 991.1 GT3RS or a 991.2 GT3 but the prices of these cars have gone up past what I personally feel they are worth.
My criteria is:
- reliable and with a good warranty (ex: Porsche Certified Preowned warranty)
- aggressive styling (wing, big brakes, etc.)
- good performance for track and mountain roads.
Potential candidates are:
- McLarens but the reliability has me worried about even considering them. I’ve read horror stories.
- Mercedes AMG GT but the shape of the car looks like a clown show which holds me back.
- Nissan GTR. I wish the Nismo was reasonably priced.
- Audi R8
- Corvette C8 Z06
- I’m not interested in the Cayman or Boxster.
If anyone has long term ownership experience with the above please share your experience.
