mid life crisis cars

Here is an interesting question. What is the best mid life crisis car?! having seen my uncles and relatives go through mid life crisis, one would wonder what is a good mid life crisis car. I cannot say that there is just 1 best mid life crisis car because that would simply be impossible as each person has different budget, driving expectation, performance expectation and preference.
Some people may not agree with my list but here it is anyway:
this list based on brand new cars available in the market.
Budget between RM150k to RM250k
- VW EOS and Peugeot RCZ
Budget between RM250k to RM350k
- Audi TT or Audi A5
Budget between RM350k to RM450k
- BMW Z4
Budget between RM450k to RM550k
- Porsche Boxster
Budget between RM550k to RM650k
- Porsche Cayman S or Porsche Cayenne S
Budget between RM650k to RM750k
- Porsche Panamera or BMW 630i
Budget between 750k to RM850k
- BMW M3

For recond cars at the current market prices but not exceeding 5 years old:
Budget between RM150k to RM250k
- Audi TT or Audi A5
Budget between RM250k to RM350k
- Porsche Cayman S
Budget between RM350k to RM450k
- Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (997 model)
Budget between RM450k to RM550k
- Porsche 911 Turbo (997 model)
Budget between RM550k to RM650k
- Ferrari F430 or Audi R8 4.2
Budget between RM650k to RM750k
- Lamborghini Gallardo or Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Budget between RM750k to RM850k
- Ferrari 599 or Mercedes SLS

why did I not include any Japanese cars? That is because most people aspire to buy a nice European sports car or sports coupe when they are young and can only afford it when they get older. The Japanese cars are always tagged with boy racer image and does not have the brand prestige to go with it. When you are in your 40s, you wouldn't want to be seen driving a Japanese sports car like a Nissan 370Z, you would look like a guy who still thinks he is in his 20s.
