      ​@eag8999 its more fun to drive slow car fast than fast car slow. You can drive hard with miata and still have fun within speedlimit. You are only on 2nd gear with high hp cars. I own 550hp m3 and 230hp s2000. S2000 is way more fun to drive than m3.

    Best affordable sports car is whatever your budget allows. No more than 50% of your annual take home. Many fun cars under that.

    Well if he wants the Carrera GT hope he likes owing a super expensive lawn ornament after Porsche had informed all owners of the GT to stop driving them immediately. Some issue with the suspension parts failing. Porsche doesn't even have many of the parts on hand yet to even fix it. Could be months before owners get them.
