The Hummer had torsion bar front suspension? That's wild, my colorado had struts up front with coil springs. I would have assumed they stuck with that for the Hummers too. Anyways, back on topic... What about something bonkers like a Shelby cobra replica? |

There's a lovely Interlagos blue Z4M roadster with 55K miles for basically $20K in the USA. That is a LOT of fun for $20K jesus freaking H.

Buy a Cayman and put a deman 4.5 motor swap in it. You'll be over $100K but I think you can get it done with $120 realistically. They can be swapped into a 2016 Gt4 which are coming into realistic territory for you.
The 4.5 easily puts down 475 wheel horsepower with a massive upgrade in torque and is a genuinely badass car. You can customize the gear ratios, exhaust, clutch to your liking/budget. Or a 991.1 GT3 are coming down into 100ish territory. I know about the finger followers but there are aftermarket options as well as extended warranties. Both would be a lot of car for the money. |

How about something completely different.
Wrangler 392 on factory 35s or Bronco Raptor on factory 37s. Or blow your money on a Raptor R?

Since you were digging the 458, I'd say save up and maybe consider a GTC4 Lusso if you want those epic engine sounds and the stuff. It's overpriced to $150k at least but... well, eh. Still a cool car though if you like it fast and loud. Very daily and family-serviceable too with the shooting brake design.
Close to $200k you could be looking at the 200 something HP hybrid, 800 HP total SL63 AMG E edition. Though realistically, it also is an overpriced car, very much so. At $100k I'd just get a fancy EV. Lucid might do it... |

However, I am still open to replacing the 6 with an actual fun to drive winter car that doesn't cost much and is reliable.

I remember 100K was easy for cars, now it seems like they are junk before then. And not even small issues, usually really expensive catastrophic issues. I would really look into how much "fun" you can have with it, until it gets expensive. |
