Aw really? cause you know I just gave two choices...
If I were to get a Porsche and drop that kind of money i would take nothing less than a 911, and probably a GT3 at that. But that isn't even close to the money im talking about

GT-R for sure. If according to your scenario, I've already got (and get to keep) an S2K, then it fills the lightweight/track/weekend "toy" car and the GT-R would be the super GT/DD long range cruiser (that will probably break more necks than an NSX 
If that's your scene 
).

You guys suck at fantasy NSXs. lol.
Forget your stroker kit and all of that other crap.
Get some real suspension (i.e. actually do some math and determine what spring frequency you need and then custom valved dampers to match. It's no more expensive than JDM bling parts and it will actually do something), custom anti-roll bars, Motec ECU, and a turbo kit.
You could maybe build the engine for good measure, but 450-500 hp will come easily and reliably with good tuning.
Get some bigger rubber, put in on a slight diet, and get a better rear view so you can have a better view of the GTR.
It's not that complicated people. Make a fairly light car even lighter, double the power, and properly tune the suspension.

GT-R. You'll never be able to get the performance out of an NSX with the same money reliably.

Between the two? GT-R
You can pick up a very clean low mileage GT-R for 75k versus a 5-8 year old NSX for 45k-50k.
The only way I'd take an NSX over a GT-R was if it was a race prepped dedicated track toy. You can absolutely make the NSX into a beast. Google Cricket/FX Motorsport NSX... but that's a bit beyond a 75k budget and a totally different animal than a simple slap a forced induction kit and some coil overs street car.

I would buy an RX-7 and put the remaining money towards making it reliable. I may not quite get there but it'd look great in my driveway as long as I kept the oil stains covered underneath it.
