You're clearly crying out for a Bullitt Mustang.

Seriously, the first thing that came to my mind was an NSX. A reliable car for many years- still should be pretty good. I still remember taking one out- what a car! Seems like $50K would get you a nice one, unless I missed the memo. Would you fit in an Elise? Or Evora? It sounds like you want another sports car. What's the story on the original Tesla Roadster? How about a Jaguar F-Type? The Type-Rs are badass, no? What does a modern Shelby GT350 with the Voodoo motor go for?

I realize I'm recommending stuff that I think about. Are you sure you need to divorce yourself from Porsche? I can't imagine you couldn't get a good 911 with lots of life in it for $50K. I think mine might be worth that much and a bulletproof unit- an '85 Coupe with 53K miles in mint condition. I still like the idea of a nice Cayman, or 997. Am I mistaken, or do all 997s have the IMS risk, including the 997.2s except the Turbo?
