#1 - PORSCHE 911 TURBO
The Porsche 911 is good at a lot of things: It is one of the most enjoyable cars to drive, it is one of the most beautiful sports cars, it has some of the most impressive performance numbers out there, it is one of the most luxurious sports cars, and it is arguably the best engineered vehicle in it's class. Although the 911 stays true to the original 1959 model, it still is one of the most innovative cars out there, and features bleeding-edge technology. These reasons are why I put the 911 Turbo into the #1 slot.#2 - CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY
Although you wouldn't expect a home-bred American icon like the Corvette to be similar to a German coupe like the 911, there are a lot of shared traits between the two. They both are ludicrously fast, dazzlingly good-looking, and incredibly engaging. However, the 'Vette costs a meagre (For something that dashes to 60 in under 3 seconds) $59,995, compared to the 911 Turbo's $101K. While the Porsche undeniably is a caliber above in terms of refinement, American sports cars are not known for their refinement. The Stingray is loud, fast, and fun, and you really can't ask for more than that. The most recent Corvette is a riot, in a good way.
#3 - JAGUAR F-TYPEFirst things first: the Jaguar F-Type is absolutely gorgeous. The Porsche and Chevrolet look great, but if you look hard, there are some undesirable lines and surfaces. Not on the Jaguar. Especially in the "Sorento Yellow" the F-Type looks like a million bucks, even though it costs only $61K. Also attractive is the Jaguar's handling. Every turn is a joy for the F-Type, and every straight is a invitation to thrash the British sports car. The F-Type is a great car, and it lands the #3 slot.
#4 - TOYOYA SUPRA The Toyota Supra is, in essence, a bargain Jaguar F-Type. While it looks nowhere as good, it has superior handling and driver engagement levels. It also has a base price roughly $15K less than the Jaguar. As is common these days, Toyota needed to spark something, so they revived a legendary nameplate. The iconic Supra was a (relatively) affordable car, and one that could be fun if desired. The new Supra is just that, and it lands in on #4.
