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?
