You might think I’m crazy but

You want something to be a dramatic contrast. Something engaging but dramatically different. Makes you appreciate both not compare both

Thanks again for all your feedback. This is awesome! I'm definitely a porsche owner at heart and I'm noticing a pattern with Porsche owners *in general*. They like more driver focused cars; even for their other pairings. So that usually excludes the huracan/R8 right off the bat. Thanks again all!

Having owned/own all 3 brands I would go Mclaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini in that order. If you can swing a Speciale that would be my first choice, the standard 458 is a little dated in my opinion.

My guess is he's talking in the $200K range....
