what can you get for 200-250K?

F40 for the win

575 for the number 2 spot

 

Head says AM Vantage
Heart say F40

 

575
550 Barchetta
360 Spyder
Stradale
Murci
Diablo GTR (?)
Vantage
Arnage
Azure
Continental R / T
Rolls Corniche
XJ220
Vector
Porsche 959 (1988)


I would choose the XJ220 because it is close to my heart. Emotion aside - Murci.

Sorry guys, F40 is not in this price range range. That's what makes the question so interesting. Got to be closer to 200K than to 300K

 

Id probibly buy a Steal gray 355 6 speed, treat it to a full roll cage, Enzo style CF seats, a head light swap from flip to stationary (for aero dynamics), Two turbos, all the motor parts to go with it, a few sets of rims, biggest for show, little smaller with slicks for race day and so on. I guess you would call me a "tuner", with 200K id buy a "Cheep" car and fully mess with it.

 

Murcielago.

 

Without a doubt a 94 Bugatti EB110GT for me. Close to the price limit (220k euros ballpark).

Runner ups :

Diablo 6 or SV

AM V8 Vantage Le Mans

Bentley Continental T

Mercedes SL65AMG

Ariel Atom 2

Mosler MT900

 

the murci hands down, or hands up!!!

 

You cant get an F40 in that range, unless its been rode hard and put up wet. Get a warranty. MURCI

 

I would buy a $200k home, and then get on the list for a Lotus Elise, and buy a cheap everyday car. Kia??? That's just me though, thinking rationally.

 

Not all of us live in Kansas. In my neck of the woods, 850K will get you a foreclosed, trashed, half the roof missing, starter house.

And Kia???!!! Yikes.


Warenn,

Make it a yellow or Orange Murci for me.

 

Is it really necessary to be rational on a pure fantasy thread though? LOL

I always get a kick out of the fact that even in pure fantasy scenarios, there will always be the "buy a house and put the rest in stocks" suggestions.

The post is about buying cars!!!! Assume for the scenario you already have $1B in the bank, $1B in stocks, $1B in real estate and $1B in gold and platinum and are spending $200-$250k on a car to "see if it can be done". =)

I think I'd go AM Vanquish in that price range. Ironically, most of the cars I'd really want are actually cheaper (Ford GT, F355/F360, Diablo, Gallardo, Porsche GT2).

 

Gotta love the Murci for numero uno.

After that the Viper comp coupe.

The rest follows: GT2
430

 

Ford GT, 550bhp 500ft.lbs exotic looks
and 100k for maintanence and repairs

 

Nowhere does it say this is pure fantasy. But, playing along, I would get a CS.

 

It doesnt really have to say it... Figure if the question is asked for real, the guy probably isnt spending his last $250k on a car and prob has his financials pretty well handled. Either way, its not our money, so it becomes a fantasy question. The guy wasnt asking HOW to use $250k, after all, only what car...

And good choice, btw (on the CS) =)

 

How about a Ford GT *AND* a Viper SRT-10. One convertible, one coupe. Fantastic!

 

Murci or a CS

 

Warren, get a Diablo 6.0SE. You will never look back, and wont lose much on depreciation. If you dont care about that, GET THE DAM MURCI!!

 

AJ,

How about some pics of both the beasts next to each other. ? Hook a brotha up
