Just because I think it's dead nutz sexy!

The 2007 Saleen / Parnelli Jones Limited Edition Mustang

Wow Wave. You would think that you could get the whole car for $100K.....

Deuce and a half with either M2 or M60 on the ring mount, towing a fuel trailer full of diesel, and a pallet of ammo for the rifle in the bed. The ammo alone will probably be $100k at today's prices.

Corvette Z06... HANDS DOWN.

427 cubic inches, 505HP, 3147lbs.
NOTHING will touch it on the street.

My brother just bought one the day before Thanksgiving. $77,790 out the door.

Something like this, only in black:

LR Diesel D90

Use the surplus to make it into a nice offroad/camping/BO vehicle. I don't need speed (yet).

Z06.

I would park it next to the 911 I already have and my garage would be nicely filled.

My wife's minivan would be relegated to outside parking.

Shelby Gt500

...Or two of them if paying sticker price.

(Homey ain't paying ~$75,000 for a car that list for ~$45,000. It's ironic that the only car Ford maked that I want and could afford, is (IMHO) foolishly overpriced.)

I'd roll my own, with a 427 engine.

It would be something entirely impractical (already have all the practicality I can stand)

Either a second hand Unicat MAN
(pains me Im a Tatra guy)

or a 365 GT/4 BB

2009 Corvette ZR1 (if the price stays below $100k)

ETA: I heard the Nissan GT-R will cost less and out-perform the Z06?

H1 Hummer

How about a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet? Exactly $100,000.00 msrp.

Then sell that sucker, buy a nice Corvette and keep the change.

Sounds like my answer. I'll sell it and buy something much cheaper and pocket the difference.

Yet to be seen - the Ring times are more than suspect - do a bit of googling. Plenty of inconsistency in the various claims. Could be it is - but they've created a great deal of doubt and ill will due to the slicks/suspension/etc questions.

When someone runs a stock GT-R - we'll know. When Horacio Pagani wanted to est a Ring time - he asked for a volunteer production (ok realizing its a Pagani) owners car and did it clean. I've much respect for Horatio - he's an honorable guy. We'll see if the same can be said of Nissan.

Quoted:
You don't have to spend the entire $100K, but you're not getting any change back. And there's no way around that, you can buy a Mercedes and then sell it and buy a Camry and keep the change. And it's got to be a personal vehicle, not something work-related.

What would you buy?

Posted: 12/4/2007 6:14:34 AM EDT

H1 or unimog.

Posted: 12/4/2007 6:19:56 AM EDT

H1 alpha wagon. Olive drab

Can I add the rubber ducky body lift, night vision screen, armor plating, bullet proof glass, snorkle/ford kit, propane/biogreasel kit and 40" goodyear MT/Rs?

Hi

for 100.000 it would have to be an PINZGAUER......not that is off road

100k to spend and you buy that?

Jesus, some people have no imagination.

I'd buy a top of the line F-250, and drop the other 45k into upgrades.

Unimog for me.

The biggest engined 6series BMW i can get.

And no convertible shit.

Posted: 12/4/2007 6:31:18 AM EDT

I'd buy a semi rig and lease it to a trucking company.

I'd rather have a guaranteed supplemental income than a car.

But if I had to buy a car today with or without free money? New model Lotus Elise.

Z-06 then give the change to Lingenfelter to make it faster.

G55 AMG

I am sure that I could talk them down 12,000 with cash in hand.

If I got a nice car, my would just claim it. So I'm thinking a mini-van with a big screen TV, DVD player, and x-box so I can have something to do while she drives it.

An East Coast Rovers prepped Land Rover Discovery 110 with the Rover 300 TDI diesel.

It would go anywhere a sane person would try to take it. It will run on any diesel you could find. It can run on one wire from the battery to the fuel pump solenoid- no ECU, no electrics to troubleshoot.

It could carry 9 people and all their gear almost anywhere in the world.

All in all, a near-perfect, bulletproof, tactiCOOL yet understated daily driver and the ultimate BOV (for me).
