“Jared,”

What about a first gen R8? I take it that sound is important to you, and it’s got a snarling V8 just like the M3, although neither sounds as good as the Aston Martin.

The R8 is reputed to offer plenty of headroom for the more vertiginous among us - not a problem for me at 5’8” on a good day.

Three pedals are available…

Let’s check and see if it’s doable within the budget?

Here’s one for $5 UNDER the budget! https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/bad19baf-5889-474f-bbbe-afd749092c9e/

Bad example, but the R8 could be the car for you if you fit and can stretch the budget a bit.

Chevy SS? 6 speed examples are going to be right near the $50k mark, but they have plenty of space and are as quick as some of the other choices stock, or can be made as fast as you want for fairly reasonable money.
