If you were given 100k to buy a car what would you buy?

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I think i would have to go with the new GT-R because Damn Its Fast!

I don't think 100K would cut it right now. They will jack up the price for it.

But sure I would take the GT-R. I don't think too much car owner can say they have a 4 seater and it does 0-60 in 3.5 sec. You can drive it in all weather do to the AWD system.

It is well worth the money.

100k? I'd find the speed shop that made the viper they had in car and driver a while back. 0-200mph in under 18 seconds

GTR would be nice

[jdshift]

GT-R R35...........heck, even if they jack the price that would still be a nice down payment.

You know what is funny is that some one will want to modify the GT-R

If I had to spend it or lose it, I'd get one of these.



Cessna Skyhawk.

If I had 100K right now, I would carefully take apart an existing G-35 Coupe or a 350Z, modify the engine (Twin turbo) , suspension systems, and transmission. And then, give it the most outstanind exterior paint job, while loading it with all kinds of electronic gizmos. Such a car would easily push 450HP at the wheels, while still keeping the spirit of the G-35 Coupe. I think 400Hp is about the limit for a daily driver. I think 350hp is more practical. Anything beyond this limit is actually an overkill. Just my 2 cents. The GTR is an extreme car.

You'll need another $90,000 for that one.

Was someone talking about me?

$100k? I'd buy two cars... a 90's Land Rover Defender 90, and a mid 2000's Porsche 911 convert. I'd still keep my G35 and my 1965 CJ-5.

The Corvette Z07 650HP, should be fun!

[rn79870]

Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT I agree, you can't never be too thin, too rich, or have a big enough garage.

[rn79870]

I've changed my mind. I'd buy this car. Watch the guy pick up his car and take it into his office and ride the elevator with it. No parking problems here.

I have a few top picks with my 100k

1) Vette (1967, 1994 ZR1, 1996 LT4, New ZR1 with the superchargers)2) 1967 GTO3) 1996 300zx TT4) 2008 350z Nismo5) 2008 Exige S 240 ( This car is awesome in Forza 2)

I have some others, but 100k would not get 1955 300SL gullwing or 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California.

Ok just anything with 4 wheels!!

[Focusedintntions]

BMW M5.....sports car performance and still very usable and livable...

[suby01]

ok so..just to make sure that i got this right....if we were given 100k to spend on one car not a house or many other cars i would have to go with lexus ls460 big and spacious and can park itself..too bad we werent given 115-120k that puts it in entirely different level.

[Focusedintntions]

I love that audi commercial that jabs right at lexus......for drivers that like to park themselves...lol....lexus aren't drivers cars...they are big marshmallows with wheels...blah...i rather put a motor in a lazy boy...

[smockers83]

Black 73 450SL convertibleYellow on black 71 'cudda (not modified into a drag car, either restored or very well kept over the years)

[Kenrik]

2006 + 911 Turbo orPorsche Cayman Sor Suped up G35...

da,

Are you sure your a big enough prick to handle a BMW?

Everyone knows that Toyota/Lexus have no souls. They are appliances... like the Maytag washing machine of cars.

Infiniti is like the fat girl who does everything right especially in the sack to make up for her being fat/Nissan

[Focusedintntions]

Sorry Suby....nothing against you...i just hate toyota/lexus and their crap cars...i used to sell them...they don't offer anything immaginative or original anymore....ever since they let the Supra and the MR2 (not the mr2 spider which was a pos) die they have been on downhill slope ignoring people who actually like to drive cars.

that's a great site with a link to the commercial for any of that haven't seen it...i love it

What is funny is that Lexus Knows this and they laugh all the way to the bank!

Lexus Sells more cars then BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Infiniti, and Jag

Some can be drivers cars... IS, GS, and of course the IS F

But only like 1-5% of drivers ever use their cars like us DRIVERS (I am one of them lol) do!

That is why people buy Lexus's!

I'm not sure the IS/F is in that group. I've never driven one, but I have a feeling it may be a pretty nice ride.

[suby01]

yea i know not talking about. however just didnt get your big poofy sticky thing on wheels comment. lol

i would prefer a ls over a 7 series. and for 20/30k less. for some nice BIG wheels and what not

[SVTCOBRA]

$100K.....I've always lusted for a 69/70 Shelby GT350 4 speed...I know there are more desirable Shelby's, but back in the day when I had my 69 Mach, this is what I wanted and still do. (I know, telcoman, it's a crapo Ford.)

This is assuming I get to keep what I have too!!!

So, getting a GT350 instead of the GT500, I would have some $$ left over to slap a SC, springs, wheels, new top on the cobra!

And, maybe a sc on my G too! Oh, and some fat-a$$ tires!!!(telcoman, it's my dream and I ain't putting any of it in my 401K!! )
