Lots of bickering about brands at the mo and I saw a suggestion similar to this,so I thought why not...
Simple rules. Up to 110k to spend on a new car, Must be new, available within 6 months of today. In either direction. Money is for car purchase only, cannot be used for mods, or to buy multiple cars. Second hand euro only exception Money was a one time only gift, non taxable. What do you buy? |

F6 with the rest on the engine. Or if you can't mod then the most expensive one.

$110k gets a lot of car, but anything second hand without a warranty could be costly. I would try looking for a GTR R35 otherwise.

Wierd choices why would a Holden fan opt for anything but a GTS?
You can have a GTS or an R8....no no I'll take the R8 thanks. ![]() |

With left over monies, buy a EL GT and sit them side by side.

If I had 110k to spend on a car there's no way I would waste it on a new car I'd buy a collector item.
Even If I won Xlotto I wouldnt buy a new car more than about 50k its just not worth it IMHO. Sorry cant vote!

I voted euro (surprised it hasn't got more hits)
For me, It would be a tough choice between E92 M3, V10 M5, C63 or any RS from Audi. I think a jap category could have been handy for the GTR too ![]()

If you have time to wait, hold out 6-9 months and get an 'My11 R35 when they drop to the 110's... currently if you wangle one youll be up for 120 or so but in 6-9 that will be 110ish I believe.
If waiting or mods isnt part of the rules, get Willall to buy an 09 for you and do 10K worth of transmission mods then buy it off them for 110K ![]() Either way its '35 or the highway hahahahahaha Daniel |

Yep, a R35 because nothing comes close bang for buck.

I would take a Maserati Shamal. Ugly but nice, different and more than enough supercar driving amongst potholes and speed cameras.

Mustang depending a few things.
Otherwise a second hand M5 if I could find a good one at the right price. I have the FPV I want.
