Default 100k to spend on a car, what would you get?

Not sure if this has been done before, if it had mods feel free to delete.

100k to spend on a car of your choice, doesn't have to be new. what would you buy? for me either brand new gtp or if i was going european i would take a 360 spider, few going around for under 100k

$60K on a GT-P, $20K on a G6ET and $20K on mods for both!

Who said it had to be one?? V8 & Turbo...YEAHHHHHHHHHH!

Or if it could only be one, I'd wait 6 months and buy this ($130,000 currently):


Or one of these now:

If I look on car sales between 90-100k theirs actually not that much that appeals to me.

Lots of 4wd's/trucks, some AMG's are nice, Camaros, M3's and mustangs etc.

Nope id rather a GT and a Focus/Fiesta ST or 86. Or a lot more cars less than 100k

Either that or about 150-250 for a supersnake lol

If I has to use all the money to buy a car:

MY10 R35 GT-R (depending if I can afford the service fees)
or 2012 Lexus IS-F (depending if it was fast enough)

If I could do what ever I wanted with the money:

I would wait until the FH is realease compare the below:
2013: FPV R-Spec
2013: FPV GTE
2014-16: Ford GT/XR8

Purchase the one I liked the best, put the rest in the bank.

1948 Flxible Clipper, and restore/convert and modernise a little into a motorhome!

Or a 59 Cadillac Eldorado Biarittz Convertible....mmmmm

If I wanted performance, E63 Wagon! The last gen, the new one is horrifically ugly.

Other than that, a SVT Raptor or a Diesel dually F450/Ram 3500HD
