If the assumption is you already have a Porsche Turbo, then there is no way I'm using the dough for another 2 seater or 2+2 sports car.

Probably a big AMG Merc, perhaps a supercharged Landie Range Rover, Tesla P100D, something like that...

If that's cheating and I'm limited to real sports cars and wasn't interested in practicality (since I'd have the uber-practical Turbo anyway!

), it would be the newest front engine, manual transmission V12 Ferrari coupe I could afford, like a 575M or 599.

Wow, here the 458 are more like $270K US, probably more for a used one.

We are very fortunate to not have outrageous import tax like most countries, those cars listed above are all cars currently listed on the market that can be purchased for ~$150K

Assuming I can keep the Turbo, I'd get a P100D with Ludicrous Mode.

I'd buy a 430, but if I was lucky to pay what you lot pay, then hands down a 458. Sexiest car in the history of the universe

If they took a foot and a half off the top of those head lights I would agree... the darn perdiest car ever! IMHO naturally.

McLaren 12C/650S, whichever falls into price range. Don't think the 650S is in that range yet, if ever.

More McLarens popping up all the time for sale now, mainly the MP12's, but they seem to sit around for ages. They are quite good buying compared to Ferrari here

McLarens are nice but a friend of mine has a 650s. Someone hit the door panel. He's waiting 4 months now for a replacement from McLaren.

Yep, they're a huge performance bargain. The quality seems to be hit or miss and they are coming out of warranty which is causing some buyer cold feet IMO.. Some owners I talk to have zero issues, others have ton of problems. A guy that shares warehouse space with me and some others has recently picked one up and uses it pretty frequently.. Another guy I know daily drives his, and admits it has some quirks but works well mostly.

Hopefully I can find a good one eventually.
