I'm curious as to which cars you guys would purchase, if you were given a "gift card" worth $100K to be used on any car (new or old). And no, you couldn't apply $60K of the money to a mortgage and get two SRT-6's with the rest, LOL. Although that makes TONS of sense ![Very Happy](https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I say $100K limit, because otherwise, many folks would simply "Vote Veyron" and call it a day. $100K can produce wicked machines, but it's still "keepin it real".
I really want to hear some of the obscure choices, like the cars that (after aging a year or two) have dipped below the $100K mark. Rare Porsches, Mercedes, M6's... you get the idea.
So... let's hear 'em!

It is a wicked car indeed. But yes, I'd say the dealers would bump it to over $100K.

Lo rider! Been tossing the idea around and searching, but haven't pulled the trigger and haven't gotten the OK from the wife. I'm white, wife is Mexican and everytime I bring the subjest up she gives me grief. Car is too 'stereo typical" of her culture and doesn't like it. It's OK if I want to get a Ford. I'll pass on the Ford!

To say the car is fast, agile, and incredible, is an understatement. There are only two small faults I have with the GT-R:
- Exhaust note sounds like a Dyson
- It only requires ***** -- not skill -- to drive incredibly fast... dangerously fast.
The sound of the Bimmer V-10 at full-sing = heaven

One other thing I forgot to mention about the GT-R, that affects my decision negatively; and it's purely a local thing, with the proximity to so many Nissan Corporate Facilities in middle TN.... but I see roughly 1-2 GTRs a week. They've become almost commonplace since mid-summer.
I'm not even bullsh!tting when I say that (locally), the Crossfire is a rarer car.

1. Used Aston Martin DB9
2. Aston Martin V8 Vantage
3. Brand new Nissan GTR
4. Brand new Corvette Z06
Although the Nissan GTR is technically superior to either of the Aston Martins, I do have to say that I love the Aston Martin for the same reason that I love the Crossfire - it's just a great, great, great looking car.

I'd invest that 100K until I could afford a
