i think the new vette is the obvious choice. the 458 is pretty cool, but doesn't come with a man-tran, so unless you're racing for money, it's a chick's car.

Such a beautiful car.

My first choice would be the Sport Classic, but I can't find one available. I heard of one that sold for $155k in the U.S. but that sounds too low.

Keep the 50th.
Perhaps you have SPASM?
If so, that does ride harsh.

You can change it to PASM and switch to 19" wheels.
Then the car will ride comfortable over bumpy roads.
Lots of people would line up to swap parts with you, if you don't want to buy those parts.

Porsche has a great suspension, but bad roads still need softer springs/shocks w/ more travel and taller lighter tires.
245-40-19 F / 285-35-19 R will ride better and still perform great.
Perhaps try the tire change first and see if that works for you.

Rays TE37P, HRE Flow Form & BBS CHR are some19" wheels that would work and look great.

or

You could get the OEM 19" from a base 991 and run them with spacers (since the OEM 19" offsets are so conservative).

I am fairly certian you will love your 911, as much as us, after you tune your suspension for your bad roads.
