What weekend toy would you get?

I'm looking to get a weekend toy. The current daily is an X3 M Comp, which makes a lot of potential fun weekend cars feel slow, even when they aren't.

What would you get that fits these criteria:
- Under $35K, stretch to 40 for something worthwhile
- I do my own work, and that's half the value in a toy for me
- Needs to not feel slow next to the beast
- Stick

These two are conflicting, I know, but still:
- I prefer a convertible
- BUT ALSO, would be nice to get something I could occasionally take to an HPDE

A V8 would be fun as I've always had FI cars, and never a V8.

So... the things that I can think of are either an E93 M3, or, an older Aston ('06-'08 vintage, these seem to end up in the high 30s on BAT)

Other ideas?

I think I have an M3 problem.
