Something like a Cayman S, Evora S, R8 V8 or even an M3 if you need some back seats.
i was also looking at an R8 and Evora but personally i really actually like the exterior styling over those other 2.

The McLaren and Bugatti, yep. I will take a F430, Gallardo, and 997.2 GT3 anyday though.

The Evora is absolutely gorgeous in person - much more exotic looking than a Cayman (in my opinion). I haven't driven one, so I can't comment on it in that regard (the Cayman is sure fun to drive though, in my admittedly extremely biased opinion).

To be honest i have oggled one GT-R at the C&C in Charlotte. Then the owned walked up, covered from head to toe in GT-R gear (hats, jacket, "racing gloves") and i just walked away.

The evora is awesome!

I worked for an auto group that specifically dealt with higher end cars we had Aston Martin, Mercedes, Lotus, Maserati, Infiniti, Acura, Nissan, VW, Rolls Royce, Mini, Spyker and Fisker karma and I will tell you what out of all the cool cars I drove the Evora was probably one of the favorites. It was a raw car it felt like a race car handled well it was low etc.

First of all I hate Porsche for doing that. But yes.

Actually I'd prefer a 996 GT3 for a track car anyways.
