    Spot on list - as the owner of a Viper and an SL55 AMG, I can tell you they are big bang for the buck. Finding a Viper for under 50k is becoming difficult, but finding an SL55 for under 30k is totally possible (barring low mileage examples). The Viper, however, will want to kill you. The SL55 will keep you safe & comfortable - with balls. Elise: track car. Maserati: cheap until you need repairs or maintanance. C5 Vette: best performance for the dollar but, ho hum, yawn. Nicely done and accurate video!

      While I agree about prices being high I honestly think the 996 turbo was criminally undervalued. So even if prices go down I honestly think they’re due for steady appreciation based on older models historically. Either way I hope they drop a little because I too missed the 30k boat:(

    Viper - 42000 EUR (44500 USD)
    C5 - 15000 EUR (15900 USD) - best price
    911 996 Turbo - 52000 EUR (55000 USD) - worst price

    SL 55 AMG - 24000 EUR (25400 USD)

It seemed like a very daily drivable car that had creature comforts, wasn't too loud, and had an amazing 6spd manual transmission. I'm the kind of guy who loves a hardcore car so I'd go for an exige and daily it but the Evora is sort of the best of both worlds. The owner was power sliding the car everywhere and it never once acted in an unpredictable way. It really depends on what you want out of a lotus car. A daily driver that's comfortable and has creature comforts? A very tight lightweight go kart with good power and amazing handling? Or a track ready barely street legal car that can slaughter the competition given the right driver.

    The SL 55 is a fun car to own, but I had so many issues with mine... Like the transmission just got stuck in park and the shifter would not move. Some computer chip also went out and made it shut off in the middle of driving. The air suspension pump went out. And an oxygen sensor for the carbon emissions was faulty as well... just all sorts of random headaches within less than 2 years. Was very happy to sell it cuz it was just bleeding money to keep fixing it. Also it was only 4 years old at the time I bought it with only 20k miles on it.

    Good picks , think the Z06 would be my choice for the reliability factor above all else . Viper and then the Lotus . Guessing if someone was a talented mechanic then the parts for everything else could be ,,, let’s say not too bad . Everything else on the list looks like a foreign car repair shops bread and butter

    As a previous owner of a base 996.2 Carrera 911. I agree. Definitly gets attention. only had 320hp and 0-60 was 4.9 seconda but top speed was 177......which is supercar in my opinion. Actually bought it over my other choice which is alao on this list, a 03/04 Corvette C5 Z06. Anyways, sold my 996 to another youtuber (Auto Ameture) back in June 2020 and went American again and got a new 2020 Charger 392 Scatpack in september. Sure its a $40k+ car that's fast but its no supercar and although its gets attention its nothing like when I owned my 996.2. Man I miss that Porsche. Glad it went to good home and that the guy still ownes and drives it. He cross countrying that thing right now. Lol. Anyways, great video and I agree with most these cars on the list.

    For those who want a sleeper, the C6 S6. It has a 5.2L V10 under the hood and looks *almost* identical to the A6, apart from minor differences only a few will notice. I own one and couldn’t possibly be happier with it. It isn’t the sharpest on a back road or the fastest in a straight line, but its fast and agile enough to have a good time in, not to mention the Beyoncé under the hood ;)
    Im sure people would question the handling first and foremost, to which i say there’s quite a few of different adjustable coilover setups from different brands like H&R, Bilstein, and a few others.
    Its a pretty reliable engine if well maintained, but definitely set aside some money for parts and maintenance. Doing it yourself will obviously save a few bucks, and there’s a good number of parts from other manufacturers, some of which supply the original parts for the S6.
    PLEASE do your research before diving into one of these, because if you ain’t prepared, its gonna burn through money like California in the summer.
    Alternatives: if you want luxury, get the S8, same 5.2 V10. If you want fast, get the RS6 with the twin turbo 5.0 V10. I chose the S6 because i find its the best value for money, and 430hp is plenty already.
