Win the lottery - what car to buy tomorrow?

[GrimJack]

So, here's a question for the dreamers out there.

Say you won the lottery, and decided to buy a car. What would it be? What color, what options?

Lets set a couple ground rules here too - ONE car only, or some people here would just buy one of everything, and let's keep it under $100,000 as you don't want your car to be a significant impact to your winnings.

i would make my car a caged street/track slut. gt40 dual ball bearing, tremec tko, jic flta2's and some lightweight wheels. paint it up real nice. it would be almost show quality, but be able to kick the shit out of whatever you bring, short of a cbr600 shifterkart.

then i would look for a clean 92 teal shadow gray leather targa 5spd or even auto... just a very nice comfortable daily driver
then perhaps find a ridiculously overpriced due to condition blue t-top s/c aw11 mr2. coilovers and some panasports. minor bolt ons. something to take up to the mountains and impress myself with.

 

[CTsupra]

damn, i have so many.

Bayside blue r34 vspecII, every option. That new 500 r34 that came out or whatever. I'd also convert it to lhd.

edit: ahh wait, the 500 skyline costs like 129,000... nevermind. just a regular r34 vspecII then

BMW M5 or Mercedes E55 AMG, either one, in black......

Too bad it has to be under 100K, I really want this: http://www.carpictures.com/contents/05ECA103523774.html
Ha, if you think the mkiii is heavy, how about 6500lbs and still 0-62 in 4.4 sec.

Sadly I've been daydreaming about winning the lottery alot lately, and hell the mega millions jackpot is over $100 million right now, so this would'nt really put a dent in it.

I guess if it had to be in the realm of sanity I'd go for a new Z06. Hell, its the fastest thing you can get for under 100K, then I'd have my track car and with the money I have left over, I can turn my mkiii into the killer gt car it should be.


...edit, I guess I really couldn't buy the Z06 tomorrow, but I'd put my order in. :icon_bigg

 

[Ckanderson]

hmmmm............. probibly one of those crazy kit cars that costs like 80k assembled...

 

[JtWo]

911 Gt2

 

[lanternman]

Good call man, I hear those Noble M12's are pretty awesome cars. Not sure how I feel about the looks, but I'd like to see one in person.

 

[CTsupra]

a new Z06.

This car is stupid. It is going to destroy anything in its path, even more so when modded. A single turbo mkiv not running race gas is going to have a very hard time with this car. Good choice. I don't know why I didn't say a new LS7 z06.

 

[Anomili]

I'm gonna have to break the one car rule.

1) Fix my current mk3 up to perfection (all performance) then remove the spoiler and prey on anything and everything.
2) 7Mify a MK2
3) Buy a nice mk4 daily driver.

 

[OneJoeZee]

finsh my supra and buy a MKIV. maybe a few more MKIIIs and MKIVs. ill be good.

 

[Justin]

maybe a BMW M5 or M3, I'm not sure what the difference is... whichever one I like most...

then make a MK3 nicer than Ultra7m, and the two guys on SF who have super-nice mk3's.... COMBINED!

haha

 

[GotToyota?]

I'd buy some Supras. One MKIV daily driver, One MKIV HP beast, One MKIII daily driver, and One MKIII HP beast. Fuck yes.

 

[CTsupra]

then make a MK3 nicer than Ultra7m

that's probably impossible.

 

[boost PSSH boost]

91 ferrari 512 testarossa. black. Just because it was my first matchbox car.


and of course, supercharged c5 z06 to cart around in, like I will be next spring.

 

[lanky189]

69 VW beetle with a carbed rotary running a blow thru turbo system, raidator up front.

maybe a BMW M5 or M3, I'm not sure what the difference is... whichever one I like most...

haha

BMW M3 = 2dr, I-6, 333hp, 13.5@105.8mph, $46,500

BMW M5 = 4door, V-8, 394hp, 11.3@108.5, $69,900

Honorable mentions though are: Mercedes E55 AMG, Jaguar S Type-R, and Infiniti M45 Sport( :love: )

i've thought about this, when i win the lottery i'm gonna use the lottery winnings to make more money, as in real estate, collector cars that will resale for lots more etc. i havent really considered just buying a dozen mkIII's and runnign them all to hell cus that wouldnt be the economic and bussiness thing to do.

if i won the lottery jackpot i would get a car i could enjoy as much as life itself and be able to pass down to my kids so they could sell it and go to college.

and my hands are tyed between a
1965 jaguar E-type cabriolet

OR

a 1993 jaguar xj220 twin turbo v6.

im a 6 cylinder man no more no less and i love jaguars older utter beuity when it comes to creating amazing engines and beuitiful bodies..

 

[Boostaddctn]

Honda Civic

Only one car.... hm, that's difficult.
I guess if I had the money and wanted to buy a car, the first thing I would do would be to test drive my favourites of expensive cars and make my decision afterwards.

If I could only buy one car, I'd probably keep my MKIII and make a real fun car out of it, so I'd need a daily driver which is still fun to drive.
Hmmm.... like a 2003 Audi RS6 station wagon, with a V8 twin turbo? I normally don't like German cars, but this one is an exception. I'd probably put a "1.6 FSI" or "1.9 TDi" badge on it and watch the Porsche driver's faces on the autobahn when I smoke them :naughty:
