OP, we need some !!!
The only one I see belongs to someone who either works at Best Buy, or is constantly shopping there every time I shop there, lol. It's orange/black.

First idea was CLK Black Series but its too expensive and no manual. Second idea was the boyhood dream of a used F355 but I can't afford to maintain a Ferrari yet. There's the M5 but finding the manual is very hard and the consensus on that car is if you get it, get the SMG. The Z06 lacks exclusivity and something about Long Island Vette drivers irks the hell out of me.

I'm leaning toward not making payments. Honestly, this whole thing happened so fast I have a lot to weigh. If I pay all up front I'm without payments but take all liability, if I make payments it weights on my credit...Lotus Exige is a prime contender I'll be driving one extensively this weekend along with the 1M, I know someone who bought a 1M and got himself into some $ trouble and needs to unload not sure how I feel about it being white though.

its SLIGHTLY more than the 50k... but Audi TT RS....

new car = no hassle. AWD = usable even if you get caught with weather. Audi's are also more liveable day to day, in terms of the fact that you live in NY. Not that you will drive it every day, yet its also still a ridiculously fast car.

or if your not looking for a track car, but sometihng quite fun...

look into a maseratti.. mm.

Not really, I have slammed gears in my cousins paddle shift s5. Great car but too soft. I was looking at a few M coupes or hell even an old M coupe with the s54 motor.

There's lots of M3's in NY, at least where I'm from so it really isn't 'exclusive'.

Have you considered Porsche Boxster or the Z4? I think those are ~50k. Are you looking new or used? Lots more options of course if you're looking used.
