I think this would be my pick too (unless budget was enough to play in 488 territory. Not sure how long V10 monsters like this will be available to us. Alongside an M5 I may do a R8 V10 vert... that's a decent contrast

Of those options listed I would go for:

McLaren
or
R8

I have a 2014 R8 with supercharger and Akrapovic exhaust and the sound and performance is just perfect for me. I personally think it handles bumps better than my M5C.

My friend has a 570 tuned with an ECU software upgrade and it dropped his 60-130 down to ~5.6sec now and he loves it (was ~7s before tune).

You can buy a 2011 458 for the mid 100s

Congrats! I was eyeing an R8 for a min before the m5. Sexy beast! Did you score it under 160k?

Can't beat NA sounds from the R8. I have a 2nd gen v10 plus with an Akrapovic exhaust and it seriously never gets old. Downshifts turns heads everywhere I go. Brakes are great, the car isn't as light or nimble as a GT3 but for an AWD setup it isn't heavy.

I love the R8, only the new one though
Had 2012 and 2017 for 24 hours and the 2012 was much worse than my F10 M5, while the 2017 R8 blew me away, took it for a trip to Mount Charleston out of Vega, what a trip and what a car! Indelible memory

The 458 does 0-60 in just at or under 3 seconds and sub 11 quarters. Too slow is a ridiculous statement. If you can get a 2011 or so for 150k you can have it for a few years and get your money back.

Never been a fan of the R8s. Drove the first generation of the V10 when they first came out for a week but always felt like they were missing the soul of other mid engine cars.
The new generation any better?

OMG
Night and day
I will make it easier for you , you know the difference between F10 and F90 that we've been all talking about for so long? Multiply x2 or 3, I was so upset with the rental company and returned from my trip complaining about how terrible a car the R8 2012 was (And it was beat up too with 60K abuse miles but I think I was able to know what it's all about), and told them I much prefer my F10 M5 and that I asked for a full refund, the owner grinned and said "You are a good driver because we agree too that this iteration of R8 isn't a great car and probably your M5 is really better" and offered me the new 2017 R8 keys for same price which is 800$ vs supposedly 1500$ for the 2017! And WOW! A mini Huracaan indeed, and they said it had an upgraded Formula 1 exhaust and I don't know what that meant and still don't

Hope this helps
Never been good with analogies
