TT-RS, Viper ACR.
If you're that sensitive to turbo lag, on cars that have almost completely mitigated it, then you should go NA. S/C is better in that aspect, but just get an ACR and call it a day. It'll inspire you to go to church. |

It sounds like your next car is a Formula 1. Seriously though, if you’re having trouble finding a car that inspires you, maybe you need a motorcycle. Whenever I feel like my cars are not giving me that little extra I am looking for, I take a spin on my Ducati Divale and it just takes things to a whole other level. I return home happy and tired. |

add the new infinitI Q60 coupe redsport to the NO list:
just drove it very fast, nice compliant ride BUT noticeable turbo lag and upshifts on the paddle shifters are very laggy (like 1-2 seconds). |

You will never be happy.
Keep your current car and save your self some money. Get a jeep or somthing like that to drive regularly, it will make you appreciate the 981cs when you get in it. |

Yeah, I'm leaning the same way. You've got a nit to pick with everything I would look at. Personally I'm getting a 2014 m5 and I'm happy with my e93 335i modified. If i was going to get one to inspire me It's be a cherry low mile e92 m3 with a supercharger but that's me.

After looking at the long list of cars you've tried, and knowing what you've owned, I don't think anything out there is going to check all of the boxes. I can also say you'll never find something that doesn't have some flaw that will bug you, or, which will be good but rather boring and uninspiring. I can say that because I been down the same road you're on. It's an expensive dead end road.
If you've got a 100K CDN budget, buy a daily car/truck that checks the practical box, is pretty cheap and not something to worry about (dings, accidents, rust, salt, etc.). Drive the "fun" car on weekends or once or twice a week (at most). The boring and practical daily driver plus more exciting weekend car (whatever that may be) is an exercise in contrasts that will make the fun car so much more a special experience. Compared to the DD, it's going to see like a rocket, have feel, and perform. And you won't drive it enough days back to back to start focusing on the "issues". The experience will be about fun, and, again, it's relative to the boring (or better yet crummy) DD. Insurance and depreciation factors with the above aren't bad. Especially if the "fun" car is something like a Z4 which is relatively cheap. |
