Well guys, last night I traded in the Shelby. It had almost 16k miles on it and they gave me 50k straight for it and I really couldn't say no. We took the money and bought my dad a 2017 Porsche Panamera, a car he's always wanted and it makes for a good early father's day present. So later this year early next year I'll be purchasing a new car and would like yalls help on it. Right now I have for options. If you think of anything in the $75,000 range please let me know. Thanks everyone!

I toyed around with the idea of a Cayman but settled on an R. Personally I could not go back to a Track pack car because I wanted even more performance. Knowing what a well set up track pack feels like, I could only imagine the R. Anyway, good luck, great gift and whatever you choose make sure it puts a smile on your face.

Unless you can get an R, I'm not sure why you would buy another GT350. You didn't seem to be in love with the one you had so maybe try something else.

I wish my son will gift me the car I always wanted, albeit it's not a Porsche.

For 75,000 bucks, you are taping into some serious stuff. Maseratti Grandsport S MC stradale, Audi R8... Wait, you said 75k ?
I would just go out and buy this:

Have you ever driven a 4C ? It is worse than they say in reviews. If you never owned an Alfa, be careful what you wish for.

I vote a Mustang GT with PP, Whipple it, Customize it the way you want it.

With the rest of the money, buy a Barrett M107 or M82, Nightforce optic, and lots of brass/ lead...

That's my advice

The only thing that would have made me trade/sell my 350 would be an R, so you know how I voted. Great gift for your pops!! Something he'll remember forever. I recently bought my dad a new Polaris Sportsman 570 SP as a house warming gift as he's building a home out by me in the country.

Brand new I'd look at a Cayman. Used I'd look at a 997.1TT with a manual or a Gen V Viper. You've already tried the GT350 so I would not buy another. Life is too short to stick with the same car :)
