A while ago (7 years) I drove a friend's 500whp base C6. Absolutely hated the driving position and sightlines, but I would probably give them another look if the right one came around. Prob just a GC. Love the widebody look, and don't want/need the insane abilities of a Z06.
Elises are hard to find in good shape for under $30k, but I have always liked them. Also wonder how well I would fit in one (6'2" here with tall legs). E92 M3 is out because of the rod bearing issue, though coincidentally my brother is about to list his for sale (6sp). And big nope to M240i - bleh to any non M BMW. I think the 2 series is not great to look at, and I hate BMW's general BS attitude/way of doing things/holier than though approach.

Yeah you might have to reach a bit further into the low 30's, but I've seen nice ones both nice shape track modded as well as nice shape stock in that range. Rod bearings in the E92's are fixable, but it's a 2-3k job upfront unless you find someone who has done it already (well documented). Can't beat them for all-around fun cars tho (and that motor!).
Also you do realize we're all living vicariously through you lol
