Definitely the Evora 400.

It's my current "won the lottery" choice.

911 or an M car

Edit: Giulia if it's good, would probably wait a year or two though to see if anything catastrophic pops up.
Edit 2: Oh, new... Guess it's Giulia or Evora then, maybe the M2 tickles the right itch, lots of people seem to love it.

Caymen S - 918 Chassis - Manual. Standard seats. PASM. Sport Exhaust*

Done and done.

*I thought they had a dual mode exhaust for the 918, but I was thinking of the 718.

It's a very personal question. You want power or cornering or feeling or what?

Only get an automatic Evora. The clutch job on the manual is insanely expensive and must be done far too often.

TT is a boring car.

4C is cool, but no manual.

I'd keep the FR-S for the twisties and get a muscle car for your straigh line fun. Too bad you can't afford a P100D. How much is a Hellcat in maple leafs? A Z/28? A Used Shelby GT500? Used Z06? Used 911 Turbo?
