I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but the Jaguar F-Type SVR is one sexy beast! I'd seriously consider it along with the M4/M6, AMG GT-S, or R8. A used 458 would also do.

AMG GTR or Macca 570S

Shelby GT350 + Audi R8 V10 (6 speed)

430 or a 458.

Still need to scratch that itch but not at the cost of losing the GT3.

GT350 -2006-2008 gallardo with MT.

That is pretty much my attitude.

I don't. Great minds think alike. I had a black 458 as well.

Probably Mac or AMG

You guys really like BMW? I can only assume we are not talking about the new ones, because I am pretty underwhelmed with my wife's 2016 550i. So many design flaws. The look of the new AMG are also something I can't get past. The long front end is a killer for me. Are we talking about the same cars?

i think people are talking about two different things
the question should be phrased like this
if porsche doesn't exist
daily driver choice
weekend car choice

robmypro

That is a good point. The responses have been really good. I have a good list of cars to check out, many of which I have never heard of. So if I get to the 2nd toy stage one day I know where to get my list from.

Daily M2
Weekend- AMG GTR or 488.

Question as phrased is interesting, though.

If Porsche never existed, and therefore modern 911s don't exist, I think the two most logical 997/991 alternatives I've seen here are R8 and GT350. The R8 offers a great drive, and the GT350 offers an interesting 2+2 package with good looks and a lot of performance. Evora might be one more. If it's about classic Porsches, there are so, so many good cars out there...and many of them make for really nice contrasts to older and newer Porsches.

Pete, I am vastly disappointed at your lack of loyalty. Have you forgotten your own family. Let me whisper ….a……b……a…….r…….t………h.
I won't tell.
