Help! Can't decide....
 
I reluctantly sold my Spyder when I moved my family to NYC this summer. I loved the car, I just felt as if we didn't need it. Needless to say after several months I know that I made a mistake. I have owned several Porche's throughout the past few years, and I must say, for overall fun and pure driving enjoyment the Spyder could be my favorite. Although I love the car, I feel as if I should move on to something else (I have car A-D-D) Ideally, would stick to a budget of $70ish. Looking at:
997.1 GT3 (never owned)
997.1 Turbo
Néw Cayman R
TPC Turbo'd Cayman with an endless list of upgrades

I really want an Audi R8...considering being patient and finding the right one, obviously would reach outside my budget a bit. I've already had a S5, not thinking the TTRS would be great, but open to listen. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm in no rush, just want to find the right car that would be fun to drive (the car will not be located in NYC) for long weekends, 2-4 track events per year, and occasional cars and coffee events.

I think you had the perfect car with the spyder but since you want something new the Cayman R would be my choice.

How about 2012 M5 my friend just orderd it gets it in the spring heard its a animal of a car. Just a idea

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am considering getting back into the Spyder again, perhaps adding the TPC Turbo as I had planned prior to selling my previous Spyder. I'm sure the new M5 will be amazing, but I'm looking for a true sports car vs. GT or Sports Sedan.

I'm not too crazy about the smallest of P cars. If you like tracking then people say the GT3, if you like modding and crazy speed, then 997.1TT all the way! If I could, it would be the latter.
