Do you have an "other" car?

I'm looking at replacing my C5 Z06 as the weekend/toy car, but I'm having a hell of a time finding something that even matches up to my family sedan.

What do you guys have that feels like a step "up" in terms of performance without spending in the 100k range? I'm open to 50-85k on what that car could cost, but I'm really struggling to find one that isn't burned alive by the performance of my family car. The cars I've looking into so far, and please tell me if I'm missing one?:

Nissan GTR
Dodge Viper (either older Gen GTS or Base Gen5)
Mercedes AMG GTS
Audi R8 V10
Lamborghini Gallardo
Aston Martin

Thoughts on the BMW M4 GTS? Anyone have one of the above and speak to performance/reliability/fun factor? It's even ok if it technically isnt as fast in a roll-race, if it's fun-factor is big. The F10M5 is an amazing performer but can feel a little neutered to me sometimes.


Really, I'm looking for a bit of unique/exclusivity. Think "wow factor" picking your kid up from school kind of look. My C5, although older, was a rare Electron blue/Mod red car and even in it's old age still has a certain eye-pop appeal to it.
