If you had 150k for a car...

[LPFSTheFett]

It really depends on what you want. I was going to buy an F430 spider, but there was no point, as in I'm not going to race it, I'm not going to take it up to the local hang outs. So for me The Viper was the perfect car regardless of price. That didn't work out quite as I planned so I got the Z06 regardless of price. Just so happen to have both, the Viper will be gone sooner or later, hopefully sooner.

 

Even if the ZR1's were out when I got my Z, I'd still probably purchase the Z. Knowing that I was going to pull the motor and change the FI anyway. What would I do with a big hole in my hood.

 

If I wasn't going to buy either of the two I have now, I'd say Ford GT. Will be a timeless clasic. They only made like 3,000 and have been holding their value very well. Plus the the rear engine and I think 42/58 split is perfect for a drag strip or a roll.

Can I get a ride/drive first?

hands down a used 91-95 bugatti eb110 ahhhhh

[hot_wire]

Lotus Elise. Who said amount spent equals fun? I'd get the supercharged version, but even then I wouldn't reach half the budget.

 

Ford GT would be my second choice. Talk about a future investment...

[dragknee66]

I think I would lean more towards the C6Z myself

I think..

Build the bottom end

Ok how the f would I afford to maintain a Gallardo!?

I seriously bet the brakes on that thing are like 10k

 

Negative. You're forgetting that the Gallardo is the first car that Audi built after taking over the company. Maintenance really isn't a huge cost with that car. Brakes are standard steel on the Gallardo and not carbon ceramic or anything. A quick search of the internet found aftermarket brake pads for as cheap as $110 per axle. Sure the disks will cost you $300-400 each but even the first year cars out there ('04s) are still LONG from needing to have any rotors replaced.

 

If one was seriously looking at a Gallardo the biggest known issue on them is that the Clutches seem to be weak. Actually it's that Morons buy the car and think that they can do clutch-drops to launch the car quickly forgetting that they're driving an AWD car. Clutch replacement is $4000 and mostly all labor.

 

...not that I've looked into these cars or anything.

LHD Toyota Levin coupe from somewhere in Europe. Resto-mod it. Even fixing it up and importing it I'd not even be at $30k.

[dragknee66]

Good info there Andy.

A 4k clutch job would seriously suck butt though.

I wonder what my insurance rate would be like for one lol

I will check more into the G

[Dr. Pomade]

It would have to be something exotic. Maybe the Gallardo, like some of the other guys mentioned.

[SilverAudiMike]

Ford GT or ZR1 for sure. Anything>The Red GTO.

With $$$ left over, go get beer and pizza.

[Smokey]

I second the Countach just for the 80s cool factor. Although I've heard they're actually a pain in the ass to drive.

 

 

what do used F40s go for these days? That's still a very timeless car that'll always be VERY cool.

Cannon Ball run was a movie I could watch 50 times when I was young. The F40's still have amazing value, if you can find one, I'd say upwards of $350K, but I think it would be like finding a diamond in the rough. Always had a thing for the 1989 25th Anniv. Edition Countach.

V12 TDI R8 - nothing more, nothing less

[SpaceGhost]

Or look like a pricetag under 150k.....

You fuggers are steering my thread off course lol

 

150k best bang for buck, with decent maint. costs

let me have it

[BIGGU]

humm not a option but i would buy a lexus Is-F and pocket the rest.

Why???? because you gotta pay for gas!!!

[Gergwheel1647545492]

Factory 5 GTM supercar, or the Ultima GTR

[CRed05]

not yet...but it will be

 

Pretty sure the gasoline r8 is under 150k, diesel shouldnt be too much more

[Smokey]

you're right Scott, the prices have continued to go up on them. I do get to see one every now and then though as Evans still owns one and drives it every now and then.

 

 

Ben, I disagree. The F50 is ugly as hell, barely faster, and 10x less the road car, and non of us on this board have the stones to track a F40 or F50.

[dragknee66]

Ultima GTR rolling chassis and a built TT LS7. Holy EEEK
