Sorry, I have driven a V6 Altima, decent car but that is no where near a sports car. Convertible Mustang for the price is hard to beat, new or used. Cost of ownership on a Porsche is just plain stupid and more than offsets any retained value argument. I do almost all my own work but Porsche is making that next to impossible on the new models with all their proprietary tools and equipment. I do not want to have to pay the dealership $5-$15 thousand a year for regular service work.
Probably the best deal going for performance versus dollars is the Corvette. Tremendous handling and power, easy to service and work on. If it came in AWD it would be the perfect year round sports car.
