I'm thinking of adding another car to the stable, I narrowed down to 3 choices. What would you buy?

I have a 2017 Z06 and a 2016 RS7

2014-2015 Audi R8 V10
2010 Porsche GT3
2018 Mercedes AMG GT

All nice, but I'd take the Porsche all day long.

The Mercedes would be a nice car, but their resale value is terrible. The Audi could be an issue if you needed repairs, or parts, unless you have a Audi dealer in the area.
The Porsche will retain it's value better then either of the other cars, but can be ridiculously expensive to buy parts, or have repairs done to it. Still, I would chose that one over the other two.

Buy a 4x4 truck or a Harley, luxury sports cars are for girls.

................Why Not Build A Daytona!

That way you'll have a Factory Five to drive when it rains.

The GT3 with a manual, a real manual, the kind with three pedals. None of this sissy paddle shift nonsense.
But I keep looking at the new 718 Cayman GT4.

With the Audi and the merc I get the discount going in, so the resale isn't as important. I've always wanted a GT3, the 07s with the manual are still 90K. I want a 2010 because they look better and have more power.

It's crazy how well the 911 holds it's value, especially if it is a more rare trim (GT3, RS and the GT2).

I sold the FFR cobra, raced it for 10 years, built it 18 years ago. Now it is for someone else to enjoy. I have the radical SR3 for race duty.

My Z06 is a 7 speed manual. Most of the GT3s for sale are manual.

Seems like the Audi R8 is the best bang for the buck.

NAZ, I have two 4x4s, 2018 dodge 3500 dually and a 2019 GMC yukon XL denali. I had a AMG GLS63 for about a year, it was a rocket but not very fun to drive. The luxury sports cars are fun to drive!!

I’d go for the 911.
A few years back a friend and I flew out to Iowa to drive his newly purchased 911 back to MA.
I was impressed how fast it was and how well it handed.

This may replace my Corvette.

I have the same Z06 as you. Hard to beat that performance for the money. I am a huge closet Porsche fan. I would buy the Porsche.

GT3 all day long. Awesome stable this is my same plan with a variant on years.
Enjoy on whatever the final decision is.

I've been leaning toward the GT3. There must be something special about a Porsche.

I have yet to own one, might as well get the track ready version.

It's a no-brainer: GT3

Okay, I've had enough days to think it over.
It would either be a Factory Five Type 65 Coupe, a Manxster Steet Style Dune Buggy, or a Speedster replica.
