My favorite would probably be the Lotus Esprit Turbo, but an older one with the four-cylinder.

<< And SSP, can you say 1000 Horse Power? >>




With that kind of money, I could say 3000 HP :)

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I would take a Jaguar XKR Silverstone convertible. It's a steal at under $100K! :)

I just think Jaguars are beautiful cars. Granted, Jags are typically more oriented towards luxury than performance, but this thing is no slouch. A supercharged 370-bhp V8 would get the wind whipping through your hair quite nicely. The Silverstone edition has even more performance-oriented features.

And I bet the chicks dig it. ;)

I would get an Audi S8. This car owns all other cars. And thats IMO!!! I am in love with this car. Ever since I saw it in Ronin, drool. It combines Luxury and speed for about $85,000. With that extra money I would get an Audi TT for those weekend cruises.

Hey, Stallion my uncle has a 64 Shelby Cobra with a 427 in it and it is all authentic. It is one sweet ride. It's blue with white racing stripes on it. If I had my pick I would problably go with the BMW M5. That car is sweet. Now I just have to wait until I graduate from college to get one. :)

I'd want one of those new SVT Ford Focus that are coming out at the end of this year for around 20,000 , and then I would buy a new home with the rest

Porsche 911 Turbo or a Skyline GTR (R34). But if I could find a used Lamborghini Diablo, I'd buy that in a heartbeat :)

People that said Skyline... better change it to GT-R... the Skyline is the &quot;base&quot; model, totally different and pretty crappy for the money. You want the sweet as hell top of the line GT-R!!! Good god... how come so few people chose it? That things a beast!

<< Hmmmm... I think I'll take an M5 for the long trips, an Audi TT 225 Roadster for those fun Sunday afternoons, and an S4 Avant for everyday grocery getting >>



Great choices! To mix things up a bit I would get the S8 and M3 instead. Or perhaps import an S3! :)

Or, how about an imported RS4, an SVT Lightning, and a TT Roadster? :)

Nightowl, have you talked him into letting you take it out for a trip around the block yet? :)

To me a Cobra is the epitome or cars..., handling, looks,power, convertable. What more do you need. ;)
