I'll take the 2003 MB CLK 500 Coupe

68 or 69 Camaro SS.

 

[Doggiedog]

I would use a stealth computerized Japanese car with Jackie Chan as the driver.

 

[Electric Amish]

A gas/electric hybrid.

This

EDIT: Make it THIS BADBOY!!!

0-60 in 1.97
1/4 mile in 8.95
Top speed of 230
US STREET LEGAL!

Cost is $49k over base price of corvette. So this could be had for under $90k

I'd buy a nice 95 Camry for about $5,000, take another $5,000 to pay off my credit card, take the other $95,000 and use it as a down payment on a $150k house, have a cheap mortgage payment, marry my fiancee =)

[Shockwave]

An older car popular muscle car. That way if something breaks you can easily get parts and get it fixed.

 

[acemcmac]

Dodge Viper SRT10 with an EZ-PASS... watch that make a difference... Either that or a late 60's Shelby Mustang, retrofitted with modern parts....

Ouch. Your neck and ass would be screaming for mommy after about 4 hours of high-speed highway time.

Personally, I'd opt for something fairly low-profile and not too fast so the cops wouldn't notice me. 😛

Nah. You know how hard it is to find an aftermarket turbo for those things? 😛

 

[MeanMeosh]

i'd spend 40k on a loaded g-35 coupe, get a $5000 discount for paying cash, and keep the $65,000.

 

[PatboyX]

4 hours might be all it takes..get me a Ducati or A Hayabusa and take off the electronic limiter on 190 mph and I will be sipping on Mai tai's while you are still in Virginia

Not to mention the ability to outrun and maneuver anything including la policia on the road

 

[ThePresence]

Maruader. Fast and comfy.
