1.) Porsche Cayman S/R
2.) BMW M3
3.) Mercedes C63 AMG

You beat me to it. His and Her Z's can be a good thing. If we didn't get
snow 3 months of the year we likely would be thinking of a coupe to add to our roadster...then there's never any fighting over who drives the Z.

C63 AMG is too brutish, you'll end up paying $$$$ for tires and won't be able to get it through a nice canyon without sliding everywhere.

GTR all day ...

That's a decent point to consider however I believe Mercedes somewhat improved the C63 AMG's "brutish" behavior. Still it's not going to be a cheap car to own if you drive it like it was designed for as you stated.

The BMW M3 wouldn't exactly be the cheapest cars to maintain either. You also got to pay a "gas-gusslar" tax as well with its abysmal 14/20 mpg.

Still the cost of ownership for both the Mercedes C63 AMG and BMW M3 would pale in comparison compared to a GT-R's, especially if you drive it like it was designed for.

This is one of the reasons for why the Porsche Cayman would be my first choice. I don't need a daily driver that's any quicker than the Cayman S's 4.4 0-60 / 12.8@110mph quarter. It's beautifully balanced, extremely well built, very efficient and one of the all time best driver's car in the world.

I'd actually probably just get the ~ 51K 265hp (5.1 0-60 / 13.7@103 quarter) base model which is just as fun but roughly 10K less. God blessed me with a larger than life genitalia (slight exaggeration) so no need to try to compensate for an inadequacy.

I'd of course get the LSD/ sport chrono package, etc so the price would be closer to 60K. It's still going to be about 10K than the S with the same options. I may get one some 5 years down the road after I'm ready to try in my likely next car / BRZ. Then again, who the hell knows WTF is going to happen from now and 5 years....
