Best sports car under $50,000?

[jond]

The NSX is obviously the best. What's the second best?
New or used, doesn't matter.
If you could pick 1 daily driver sports car (other than the NSX), under $50,000, what would you pick?

A twin turbo supra or vette I guess.

Newer m3, newer m5, you can pick up a ferrari 360, a nice supra, rx7, 911 turbo 01-03, the list goes on and on. I would get a clean 911 turbo with a gt2 wing lowered with nice rims.

DeTomaso Pantera if I can keep my normal cars

But if I actually have to daily drive it, maintain it, and it's my only car, then E36 4-door M3.

Daily driving a car worth more than 10k is a bad idea IMHO

 

[PHOEN$X]

Tough question, but I would take a good hard look at the FRS/BRZ, especially after the turbo version comes out.

SL55 to me.. good power comfy to drive and still can daily if you dont mind $$ on gas

Last I checked a 360 was running 70-80k clean.

Get a bike .....

 

[V.Lats97nsx]

Your right I was thinking of the 355 you got me, I still think the 355 looks nicer. Just me.

 

[Aaron94T]

Daily driver and sports car don't really mix in my book as I want comfort and an auto in my DD. But for that price range I would vote for C6 ZO6, SRT-10 or 911 TT.

Perhaps we should define "best" for you.... LOL... you can't be the best if everyone else is also the best.

 

[scorp965]

NSX, SRT Viper Coupe, V8 Vantage if you're after a fun car.

C63 AMG, E92 M3, 997 C4S if you need it to be practical.

Bentley GT, Maserati, etc. if you're an Old Man, tired of sportscars.

 

[TURBO2GO]

John call me when you find a Bentley GTC for 50K. Or a vantage....

 

[Venom2049]

Or the Maserati... .

In the pure spirit of the question, deciding on a car that I would actually drive around in with frequency I would go with something in the $30k region and pick a used Porsche Cayman, Ford Mustang, or Corvette. The Cayman would be nice and refined while the other two are just silly fun to drive.

 

[Hapa88]

Even though I'm not a huge fan of the look or interior, I think I'd do the C6 Z06 Corvette. Can't deny the bang for the buck and the sheer amount of performance.. it'll also be an excellent track car.

 

[docjohn]

for a dd I'd need storage and a backseat......mustang boss 302...laguna seca version please...

Does it have to be under that price new, or is used okay?

 

[junior40er]

Z06 hands down

 

[RYU]

i'd buy 2 brand new toyobarus

 

[jond]

I would say new or used as long as there's not too many miles.
Like under 40,000 miles.

 

[condumbwerkz]

Toyota Supra TT

 

[scorp965]

Toyota Supra TT

Maybe, if it were 1995.
