if you could have a 4dr beater too I would pick a GTR as my car though.

but JUST having an exotic would be so pointless lol. groceries? what if you have kids? lol
If I had kids I would trade them for an exotic!

This thread lacks class, I'd take one of these

1977 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Audi S1 Quattro rally car

1992 Mercedes Benz 190E Evolution-II

And ofcourse the Pagani Zonda R because I like things that are illegally loud and sound like F1 cars.


Oddly enough I've owned both the "unspecialized" models of the Audi Quattro S1 and the Mercedes. Loved them both.

A fully loaded Toyota Tacoma:


Or Marty's truck from Back to the Future... but I'd still probably go for a Tacoma:


I mean, hell, I know Tacomas never die and regardless of how fast or exotic a car is, I'd still rather take a bike... might as well have something that can bring my bike to the track, get me to work through any weather and I can still take it wheeling if I feel like having fun on 4 wheels.

I'm calling BS on this, Mcfly.

You wouldn't drive a Ferrari every day instead of a Tacoma?

Hell.... you could at least get a Veyron and then sell it to buy 40 new TRD Tacomas. lol...

One of the most beautiful and most pure sports cars ever made.

I know it's any car in the world, but I think I would either take a 67 Chevy Camaro

I see most people ignored the "100K or less" price tag imposed. Hell the second post had a $750,000 saleen S7 twin turbo. lol.

If price was no concern I too would take an S7 twin turbo. So sweet. Sticking to the 100K I'd go with the 1990 Ferrari Testarossa with only 5000miles on it we just sold, because I love it so much. For a realistic daily driver for the rest of my life though I'd get a 911 turbo 6sp manual. Porsches are stupid reliable as far as exotics go. Automatic trans ferraris, lambo's, bmw's, aston martins etc. are all very VERY boring to drive cars. Seriously, Im not kidding. And they suck as far as reliability goes.

Now can we take the 100k and build a car instead of buying? If so then I'd start with a 93 mustang GT. Built a twin turbo 331 stroker, back it up with a T56 or TKO600. Cobra rear bumper, cirvinni's ram air hood. Autometer gauges, alcantara interior. I'd tune it to around 1200hp on 87 octane, 1500hp on 91. Mini tub the rear and run 305/30/19 rear tires [maybe a little more sidewall, who knows] I'd completely re-engineer the suspension to something road race worthy and add 14" front rotors with 4 piston calipers and 13" rear rotors with 2 piston calipers. Fully built 9" rear, gearing depends on which trans I choose. I would use as many fiberglass body panels as possible too. It would DESTROY any production car on the road.

That would have to be a 2006 BMW 135i. RWD, parallel twin-turbocharged 3.0L straight-6, 7000rpm redline, enough said. I would use the $100 to place a few bets with some Rossi fans for tomorrow's race and turn it into $2000, buy myself some haltech goodies, do some fuel/ignition remapping on the street, and then i'd be the coolest kid in the 6th grade.
