There is only one reason to drive around a super car, taken straight from the mouth of a Lambo owner. One night stands.

...I don't know, maybe you are single.

With the cash you have, top out your budget at a C8 if you are dead set on a mid-engine car or wait for the Z35 if front engine will do and invest the rest. Anything more is a waste of money. I give you only two options, because in my opinion these two cars represent the best value in their class.

I only see one reason to ever buy a >$100k sports car, and that is as an investment if you believe it will appreciate as some do. But you seem like you want a car to drive and not keep in a glass box so this does not apply to you.
