Funny you should ask - I own #2 and #3 plus the IS-F which I recently picked up
I love my NSX and would not sell it for sure. The s2000 is a fun car and it's probably the most fun you can have in an adult sized go-cart!
If you already have the IS-F, I would pick up an s2000 if your budget is around $25k.
If your budget is over $50k, pick up an NSX as it's a timeless machine. I would never trade my NSX for a GTR....
GTR must be a fun car don't get me wrong but when you are talking about a $80k budget, I would get back into a GT3 before I'd consider a GTR but that's just my 2 cents.

I know that these aren't Japanese cars, but I agree that you should change it up a little. Since were just throwing things out there, I would get the Mercedes CLK Black series as a second/weekend car.
Another one I would choose would be Audi RS8 Wagon!! now that would be a killer daily driver. The ISF would be my grocery getter/beach car.

my spontaneous bike purchase is what caused my family to approve the purchase of the F - which did get me off the bike 
but having a bike at least once is enlightening. you never realize how bad other drivers can be and how hard bikers have it - makes you a better driver.
and you appreciate your fast cars even more. i can only imagine how it is to drive a GTR or NSX
i vote NSX because to me it's classic yet timeless. i feel like the GTR is to the late 2000's like how Supra's were in the early 90's.

I bought the IS-F from another CL member and it's not here "yet" so no pictures...patience 
malujerry: First picture is OEM spoiler, 2nd picture is CF Type-R smoked CF spoiler, I changed a few thing and still have a lot of mods to do but no $$$
My parents don't like me having the bike but they know I love it too much so my mom offers to buy me a CF helmet! haha
I already have a stash of mods for the IS-F thanks to everyone here so the first time you see it won't be stock ~

No way I can get a bike, it's just not practical -- I'm putting 15k mi a year
Looks like everyone has thumbs up for the NSX and GT-R
I have read that the GT-R is soulless though, too mechanical -- ?
Black Series sounds like a good option except Mercedes is off the list, ****ty dealers.
Here is another idea, 1996 Porsche 993 Turbo (found one for 60k$)...
Anyways my dad got a 360 Spider
So I'm going to need something that'll spank that.... and the Porsche has AWD as well...

360 spyders are heavy and slow - your IS_F should be ok to stay with it. If you want something faster get a 360 Stradale - it's the only F-car I get
But OP asked for a nice complement to the IS-F and I think you need a fun 2-door sports car thus: s2000, Elise, NSX, GTR, GT3 would all be nice!
