The topic is confusing. 
Are you going to actually going to drive it IN bad winter conditions? Or, by "PLAY", do you mean only good weather, and put it in the garage from October to April? Or, do you mean, drive it in the winter (at low temperatures), but only when dry and not when the roads are bad?
I can't give you any more advice until you clarify this.

and remember I drove an RX-8 with Continental Conti Extreme Contact ALL-SEASONs for a full winter here so know how sports cars/tires handle here in the cold.I still plan on getting dedicated Blizzaks or Sottozeros and rims unless it's the Shelby and I'll use the rims that come with it... if I decide to drive all 12 months MINUS snow days, more for if I get stuck out far from home and one of those "surprise" Wisconsin blizzards shows up... but the winter rubber means I don't have to garage it the whole winter, which I think is a waste

I would only look at manual cars for my Toy Car.. its not about what is the fastest its the joy of selecting your own gears...
How about a used 997 Turbo??

i'd consider the latest z4 over all those.
m3 coupe - fun, but not a real sports car (heavy)
cobra, um no.
spyder - fugly looking
boxster s - nice but ridiculously overpriced and little low end torque

Interesting mix of 'verts and hardtops. But I get your point about using this as a weekend/play car all year in a true 4 season climate (non-sunbelt).
My preference leans towards the Porsche Boxster/Cayman with a proper set of extra winter wheels/tires. The Porsches will work fine given the weight distribution combined with integrated stability control/traction control/ABS systems.

Interesting choice cuz I really likd it when I saw it... but lots of compaints on 19" rims, which I think are the only good-looking ones... and I have yet to drive it... garners a drive tho 
GT-R... just not a fan
997 turbo- in the mix
Boxster S- yes, more practical in WI than Spyder
Also, I am checking on Alpina B7 allotments right now... my BMW guy just delivered one 2 weeks ago, he is checking now for next allotment..
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many flippin' choices...
"time is on my side... yes it is..."
