A BMW 745Li Sport than about $20,000 worth of upgrades rims, exhaust, Intake, Internals, and dare I say? Supercharge it. A pimp mobile Black on Black and Black wheels with a Chrome rim.

well, i would brand a 94 Supra for about $20,000 and buy all equipments for increase it´s performance, like a HKS turbocharger and intercooler, springs, shocks, fiber carbon seats, mufflers and air cleanner, new rods and pistons, new cranck shaft, and offcourse, a new body kit made by VeilSide hehe and wheels of 19 in

and i´ll set new ger ratio...with this he problalby would do more than 200 mph...

i think all these parts would be into the $100,000

Well it's just under $100k's...the Porsche 911 GT3


Or I'd take this Maserati 4200:


But I heard that the cheapest version of the new AMV8 will be below $100k's, if so then my vote would change

With only $100,000 to spend and no extra money to cover increased insurance etc, I would take the $100,000 and put $50,000 worth of 427ci C5R/T1 uprades onto the Z06, - and take the remaining $50,000 to pay for all the tyres, gas and track day entry fees I would need for the rest of the year - I am a driver at heart, not a poser...

Errr....it's hard to find a nice car when you only have $100,000 to work with.
But I think that I would probably go with the Ferrari 355 spider. It
looks good, handles well, and goes fast, hey, isn't that all that matters.
