I need your HELP...What to buy with $35,000

I need to buy a car and I have a budget of $35,000. I need you to help me make up my mind....I have been struggling for 2 months and can not decide.

Here is the situation:

I already have a toy. Porsche 911 '76 with 993 engine, still street legal...which might change depending on what I buy. I also have a SUV for the family to drive on weekends. So, i need a daily driver to take me to the train station and to have some fun driving on weekends.

Now, I am not looking for the rational answer to my problem which my wife gave me a long time ago. Spend a little as possible and buy a Toyota Corolla to take you to the station!!! I want something I can enjoy!!

I live in NY, so in winter I will need to draive it on the snow, which renders my current 911 not a target for daily driving (besides the fact that I have erased the heating, etc)

To show you how lost I am let me tell you the spectrum I am considering:
- Mustang GT (or ideally a Shelby although, even if older model, will be difficult to find with my budget)
- Chevrolet Camaro SS '10
- Chevrolet Corvette
...this three options will give me the chance to drive a true American Sport car (I am coming from abroad!!)

-BMW M3. I had a BMW 335i in Europe end enjoyed driving it a lot

....and then my beloved Porsche options:
-993 or 911 ('01-'02) ???...and turn my 911 into a pure racing car.

The year of the car will vary to accommodate my budget. So, the M3 would be older than the Camaro, for example.

let's see what you guys think.

Thanks
