Then I realize that I'm paying 50k + for a car, and more likely 70k+ for a car, that really just isn't that fast. I mean, it's not much faster around a track if you give the FR-S slicks and some coilovers. The FR-S is already more than fast enough for the street. The Cayman isn't a rocket in acceleration. It's just not enough to justify itself.
Yeah... so my car search continues. I gotta say, though, that the Tesla 90D is a freaking rocket ship. Now that is acceleration! Too bad it's so damn expensive and big. Do I really want to spend 120k (P90D + insane + jump seats) on a car that large? No. I want the new roadster, damn it.

In this case I would go with a lightly used German performance like a M3.
Actually an E92 M3 would be the top of my list and they can be had for under 50K easy all day. The V8 engines in those things are solid, and the E90/92 m3's are super reliable. If you're more track focused, you can't do nothing but an used Cayman/boxster (Upgrading from this platform anyways, I'd personally go with the Cayman.) Theres also s2k Ap2s....I've driven the AP's MANY OF TIMES, and never thought they were GREAT. Easy driving with a smooth clutch, but (modded or stock) has nothing like driving characteristics of the E92 M3 or even the E46 M3.
I noticed someone mentioned a C63 AMG...Haha good luck on that, now that is a f*cking monster lol.
