Hypothetical - If you became suddenly rich - Euro or Local?

[DJM83]

For me cant go past this.


These, yes all 3.


And a new Ford GT, complete with TTV6 :

[Spurious]

I'd pay someone to rebuild what I've got into a shiny, V8, supercharged, fire breathing, kiddie scaring monster!!!

Plus buy an FGX as a daily driver 'til it's completed.

Then a sweet F100 with a new crate motor to tow my new power boat!

"First you getta da money, then you getta da power, then you getta da woman"!!!

Would need to check with Hulk on what to buy. Could be a bit worried on making some sort of faux pas.

Just wear a parachute next time you walk into a dealership. That way if you get thrown off a balcony....

Me too ... a Charger Hellcat, they're a bit more practical than a Challenger. But instead of bringing one over and changing it to RHD, I'd go live in the States and buy one there.

[EF ECTIV]

Either a Maserati granturismo or amg c63 with a blower kit for a daily...

Finish my EF off at nelson racing engines, and various gt's (El gt, Xb gt, Xy gt)
to Round out the garage...

[Super Roo 1970]

More muscle cars than the Bowden's collection. Copius amounts of cool Aussie and Yank Muscle.
Maybe a full house top of the line Raptor to go to the tip in. As a daily, Id get a new hi spec Aus Mustang.

[WHYME]

R35 GTR tuned to 2000hp. Something like this one (which can also be driven on the street, it's full weight):

[calais]

An ED XR6 manual, white, cruise, momo wheel, simmons v5's in gunmetal.

And!

A bronze wine XY Fairmont, 351, auto, five slotters, red striped tyres, venetian, opening quarter windows.

[Ford17]

So many great responses posted here - Pretty much understand each and every one of them.

When proposing this question, I was also thinking of something I read in 'Australian Muscle Car' magazine (issue 76), and their interview with Phil West:

"The Ferrari was doing 154 (MPH) down the straight, the Monaro about 124. The Ferrari was on 10-inch-wide Dunlop racing tyres with inboard disc brakes and the Holden was on Michelin XAS road tyres. But it was six seconds quicker around the circuit than the Ferrari. That was something that really opened my eyes, and since then I've not been the least bit interested in the badge on the front".

Plus driving down to the local bottelo in a Lambo or Fezza might attract some kudos, or otherwise a new 'pin stripe'.

Would feel more comfortable in a locally made Falcon, albeit tuned to the max.

Definitely a 911. But which one has me scratching my head

911 Turbo

or

911 GT2

I know there are faster Porsches around a track but I want the ridiculous excess that is offered by twin turbos.

Have you seen the Singer Porsches? Awesome bit of kit but the price tag is astronomical.

But I'd own a 70s 911, but as a daily I'd find it hard to go past an RS4..not many practical cars like a V8 wagon with AWD that looks fantastic.

R8 V10, one of the only reasons is you can still get one in a manual.

Bunch of X series GTs and HOs.....

An AMG C63 for me.

[TUF_302]

My daily would be an F-250/350 with all the good bits, id stick a supercharged 6.5ltr Chev v8 diesel motor and Allison 6 speed auto in my Patrol and set that up for touring, then hunt down and XY GT, XA GT coupe, and lot of bikes, oh and a boat of course

[Ben73]

I'd get a black FGX xr8 for when I want to drive around inconspicuous. Then a few other expensive euros or americans for when I don't
