Which has more value for fun to drive per money spent including price vs price?

I used to have a Jag F-type R. While it is a great cruiser with excellent acceleration and the best sounding engine on the market, the handling is atrocious. Lateral grip is poor, and below cars like the E63S or M5 Competition Package.

As a result, I would recommend the Porsche. Do yourself a favor and just get a used Turbo or Turbo S.

I test drove one...the handling was great. All the reviews are good too, 1.2 lateral Gs, figure 8 etc. Maybe your was broken. It happened to me. End links loose, dangerous!
