Dr. Pomade Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Game, Set, Match: Exceptionally strong move right out of the gate. Bonuses for that exhaust note, styling, and uniqueness to our local car scene. 9/10 gold chains This: http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh186/tilley614/NSX.jpg I already own that one. -2/10 hair products Viper, 04 11kmiles https://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/2004_dodge_viper_197588277_25 01 gts https://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/2000_dodge_viper_224790078_32 Or ive got to go with jones on the Maserati these just a hair over 50k https://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/2008_maserati_granturismo_225348126_28 https://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/2008_maserati_granturismo_224033034_43 under 18k miles https://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/2008_maserati_granturismo_224013136_51 Paul, I like what you've done here. I've always been a fan of the GTS Viper. Unfortunately, Vipers' exhaust sound like ass. That first Maserati you linked is hot to fucking trot. I might make an inquiry on it. For serious. Not only did you list choices, but you linked actual cars that could be bought. 9.2/10 faux hawks 2002 Cougar. I said you only have $50,000. -7/10 for following directions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I would consider a 2011 M3. I could also see you in a C6Z, but car and driver gave it 2/5 panaches. Not bad, especially the way you used panaches. 7/10 popped collars Sl65 AMG http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-SL-Class-We-Finance-2006-sl-65-amg-navigation-heated-cooled-lea-perfect-condition-/251461229169?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3a8c41da71&item=251461229169&pt=US_Cars_Trucks V12, twin turbo, 'nough say... Convertible, my hair, 'nough said. -15/10 styling sessions I would probably have to go with a Z06... Amazing track cars (Any type of racing), great for cruising around, and such a raw car to drive. Manual, huge v8 engine, Fast, where can you go wrong. Not to mention they look soo damn good! Theres also a million shops and a million different possible mods for them. Not like trying to mod a Benz or a high end euro car (I could see that getting REALLY expensive REALLY fast) I would probably go Z06. Solid choice. However, not rating very high on uniqueness factor. Also, kind of been there, done that. 5/10 flaming Corvettes Holding my affection for corvettes aside, there are SEVERAL cars I would love owning at that price point. But the very first one that comes to mind is a factory five GTM... BTW, just stop the bullshit and buy the ctsv I linked to you and be done with it. How do you know I'm not posting for a friend? Minus points for your insinuations and veiled accusations, my good sir. -3/10 handlebar mustaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like my erections. 9/10 douchie Porche driving gloves The Caterham 7 620R just came out and was just on topgear, that thing looked wicked! 310 hp, sequential gearbox, 2.8s 0-60, cant remember the weight but not alot. I've never heard of a Caterwaul 7000. Sounds intriguing. Post a pic next time to enhance your score. 3.2/10 crumpets Brooksville 33 ford with a coyote drivetrain I have no idea what you just said. 5/10 blank stares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 $50K will get you a nice NSX, $40k will get you a decent NSX with money left over for some nice wheels and a Comptech supercharger. I can't think of a better all 'rounder than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I've been shopping this segment for the past 6 months...but I'm pretty focused on what I want and despite knowing how great C6 Z06's are it's just not my deal. It's by far the best performing car you can buy in that price range. Also, since I do all of my own mechanical work warranty isn't a big deal to me. You didn't mention if that was a requirement but it severely limits what you can get if warranty is needed. Maserati GranTurismo and Aston V8 Vantage would be on my radar but not for $50k. You're picking up a bottom of the market car to hit the $$$ point which would scare the crap out of me in either one of those cars. I have a friend with an early V8 Vantage and he loves the thing, it's been highly reliable for him so take that for what you will. You need to spend $60 for a good V8 Vantage and closer to $70 still for a GranTurismo 996 Turbo would also be high on MY list, maybe the winner when it comes down to practicality and minimal fear of owning something outside of warranty. The platform is proven and rock solid. I wouldn't personally own a highly modified turbo...give me exhaust and chip and maybe the K24's off of a GT2 drive the crap out of the thing. Been trying to talk my wife into daily driving one for the past 6 months she doesn't want something that "old"... whatever. Good news about this car is it's pretty much bottomed out in value. Pick up a $50k 996 turbo and 3-5 years down the road it's still worth damn near the same money. Spend $65-70 on a 996 GT2 and there is a strong possibility you get all or even more of your money back out of that car when you go to get rid of it. GT cars (GT2 and GT3) have been increasing in value lately not decreasing If warranty is a factor E92 M3 is the only car I'd consider. Nice, low mileage '11's can be had around $50k. hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Do not get a Maserati if you intend to stay happy with the car for a while (more than a year). They age poorly and depreciate accordingly. Matt Farah: "I know what a 70,000 mile QP feels like. It feels like trash. There's a reason a 5 year old QP sells for $25,000 at a wholesale auction. The leather may feel nice, the engine may sound good, it may be pretty and it may be fast, but I have loads of experience with exotic cars and these cars do not age well at all in terms of fit, finish, and quality. They are unreliable, crazy expensive to repair and maintain, and, in my experience, bits literally fall off them." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 If I was given 50k to blow on something other than hookers and coke I would get the CTS-V I have seen these cars put down good numbers at the LSX Shoot Out events, parts are easy and cheap to find, dealers all over to service it. So, get the CTS-V, put some wheels on it, put an exhaust on it, and go pimp ho's nationwide like the Godfather... http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m574/Eyeheartfreedumb/godfather-wwf-titantron_a_GIFSoupcom.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Long before I saw the Granturismo in the flesh... Ah, so you misspoke? The cost of ownership of an exotic should be taken into account if you decide to buy one. It FAR exceeds the cost of buying the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
