None of them

997 GT3 or 2011 Audi R8 V10 6speed

What kind of issues? Frame damage?

The stripes are screwed up, bumper is not set properly, limp mode on the street, took two months to get tires in for it, car has a ton of squeaks and rattles. I'm just really displeased with the vehicle and the fact the depreciation on it is going to get much much worse especially since it was in an accident.

Even though i voted for the next GT500, i find the Jaguar F-Type to be one sexy beast.

I chose the manual R8, as you legitimately getting a manual, V10 super car which has essentially gone extinct today.

If not for the R8, I would also suggest a new GT3 if that tickles your fancy. Absolutely a better performer and better looker than the Cayman GT4, and if it is within your price range (based on the R8/NSX options) then it certainly would be a better option IMO.

The AMG GT is an amazing car no doubt, but I would look for a used SLS before going after the GT. The SLS is a true supercar that just has incredible presence on the road.

I seriously considered a SLS but the hardtops have gone up in value, especially a low mileage one. The 2017 R8 I figure I can pick up for the >140 range and the NSX for about 110. This is going of preowned prices and guesstimating depreciation.

I voted the new GT500, but it was a close one with the new Acura NSX.
The Acura NSX is a beast and a great car.
Good luck!

Have you thought about a Gen V Viper, ACR maybe?

Wow sorry to hear that, were the stripes and bumper bad from the factory or from the body shop?

Squeeks and rattles? - Factory? What part of the car is making these noises?

I did and actually drove a friends GTS. I LOVED the car but the pipes were got too hot, the pedal box was too small, and it was too rough for long trips. I drove it for about 20 minutes and was beat all to hell and drenched in sweat.

Squeeks and rattles? - Factory or from body shop? Where are they coming from?

They were from the body shop (after the tires are put on I'm going to have them redo it) The squeaks are coming from the interior and the rear area.

How bad of an accident are we talking here?

My car was parked (in a corner spot at the end on the parking lot ) Whoever hit me couldn't have been going very fast. It was $5,500 in damage. Front bumper, hood, headlight.

The GT350 annihilated the new Acura NSX car is a total flop - almost as bad as that 180,000 dollar BMW M4 GTS.

They tested all of the above here http://www.motortrend.com/cars/mclaren/570/2016/2016-motor-trend-best-drivers-car/

I'm shocked something so minor caused all these issues. That body shop must be something else.

Same. I told the mechanics to take a close look at all the issues and they said everything was in order.

Depends on what you want, how soon you want it, and how much you want to spend.

I want a car I can basically daily drive. I don't mind a stiff ride, I want N.A., and I really like great handling and brakes. I saw a Carmine Red GT4 at Dallas Cars and Coffee yesterday and really liked it. That would be my number 1. If money didn't matter, and the wait wasn't so long, it would be the GT3.
