If some gave you a car, $1 - $200,000, what car would you pick and why?
We've had this thread in the past, but new cars come out, minds change, so lets do it again.
Feel free to post pictures of the car you selected! Makes the thread a lot better.
If someone were to give you the oppertunity to pick out a car, ANY car within the price range of $1 - $200,000, and no more than that. Insurance would be paid for 10 years, you have to pay for gas, and everything else that is not covered by a magical 10 year bumper to bumper warranty, which doesn't include wear and tear items unless they wear incorrectly due to a faulty part, etc. Like your brake pads, rotors, clutch, etc wouldn't be covered, however, everything else would. You still have to pay for your own gas, etc. Oil changes are covered in higher end cars, like BMW, Porsche, etc... Just like in real life.
So with this, and you can't have any other car, this will be your ONLY car, daily driver, etc... Which car would you pick and why?
For me, I'd pick a 2007 Porsche GT2.
The reason for my decision is because I'm a fanatic when it comes to high end Porsche's, and I'm willing to sacrifice luxury and practicality in order to be able to drive this car every day. I'm willing to pay for the insane cost of clutch replacement, brake rotors/pads... Sure, it'll cost me the price of a new STi to get a clutch and brake job, but I don't give a rats ***! Also, gas would cost me an arm and a leg, but I don't care.... Because I would be like this:
24/7
Only thing I would do to it after market would be a very high end alarm/immobilizer.
Pics:
This is the TechArt version which is painted orange and has different wheels, but you get the idea. Hard to find decent pics of the non-techart version.
Specs:
How about you'z?

Specs:
the GT2 is producing 530 HP at 6,500 RPM, and 505 lb.-ft. of torque between 2,200 – 4.500 RPM. A six-speed manual transmission sends power to the wheels, and allows the GT2 to run to 60 in 3.6 seconds, to 100 in 7.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 204 MPH. The curb weight is 3,175 pounds. "Respect required," indeed.
How about you'z?

And honestly, I'd pick this car over any other car if the funds were unlimited (I mean, if you couldn't sell it and had to keep it). I honestly would have sex with this car, thats how much I like love it.

I wants a twin turbo Bristol Fighter. Car is sweet
"Bristol Cars is a manufacturer of hand-built luxury cars based in Filton, near Bristol in the UK. Their annual output is less than 150 cars per year, but the company has made some fiery models in its past, which includes its Fighter supercar. First released back in 2004, the Fighter is powered by an 8.0L V10 sourced from the Dodge Viper, which is in keeping with Bristol’s tradition of using engines sourced from Chrysler.
Bristol has added a pair of turbochargers to the V10 coupe, and it now develops 1012hp and 1400Nm of torque (up from 660hp). Thanks to its drag coefficient of 0.28Cd, the company claims that the slippery gull-wing coupe can reach a top speed of 435km/h. However, the car’s speed has been electronically limited to 362km/h, so we find the claims a little hard to swallow. Still, a 0-100km/h of less than 3.5 seconds is very impressive."

But If I had to live in reality, Id want a 350z or a Sti

id take an Acura NSX, Any year will do, preferably a 95 when they go the bigger motor and the extra gear =)
Why? because from the factory they are wicked fast around a circuit, do 168mph top speed, and with a little coaxing, That NA motor is well over 300 to the wheels and pushing close to 200 Mph =)
Not to mention honda reliability and the sex appeal of a sleazy 18 year old
