Wait, do you have a girlfriend or wife? If not and you want one, get a 4-seat convertible, like a Toyota Solara.

'08-11 Exige

Or another 86 and mod the absolute piss out of it, like 400 reliable whp and carbon everything.

I would get a stock NSX if the price is below $100k CAD and use the rest of the budget to refresh anything that's required (i.e. tires, brakes, bushings, clutch, etc).

Evora you need to take half the car apart just to change the clutch.

If you have a short inseam than you probably won't like driving a late model Porsche with its long clutch pedal travel, and the stock shifter feel is questionable.

Another vote for M2

Corvette or maybe the new Supra when it drops (if it is cool.)

This one's easy. Cayman.
Go drive as many as you can and it will quickly become clear to you which is best given your priorities. For my priorities, Cayman is the right answer. It is an excellent car in many, many ways. And if you're truly a fan of driving, you're gonna love it.
Certainly in that price range there are a lot of great cars, but in my opinion, nothing tops the Cayman.

On my short list for retirement car. All depends on how nice the 2024s are (and if there are 2024s that are not self driving I guess).

Meh...by that time they'll be required to have WAY too many gadgets and safety items. They're already more bloated than I'd like to see. Pick up something from the last few years and call it good. Even if it is 15 years old at the time. There will be plenty of them around with less than 50,000 by then, anyway.

This, a used SRT GT would be my choice....V10, great handling, fairly lightweight, 6-speed manual, with comfy interior.

Jaguar F-Type S V6 coupe would be second choice....

I actually don't get the point of the real "Super" cars. I'd have enough trouble staying out of jail in the Evora.

I haven't really looked hard at the Maclaren lineup, but there might be an option there.

Nope. What ever I get will be NEW! It will be the last car I will ever buy so I want it to start out as mine.
