A spanking new FG F6 or GT with all options, and invest the balance to help offset the depreciation.

Then again if youre a "Ford or nothing else" kinda guy you probably think Im a bit :

Looking at your 'toy box' in your sig, you've got the 'big' vehicles covered, so I'd look at something different :
- a WRX/STI or Evo,
- Or maybe a BMW 135i
I think they're all around the 60-70K new...

Maybe you can get a 135i AND an older STI/Evo :-D

Do the same thing i did last time: keep driving POS cars and stick it all into real estate!

If i had to choose a car thats an easy choice: a couple of year old Jaguar XJR. Make your XR8/GT look like a camry

This is the "What car would you buy for 100k" thread, not the "Be sensible with money" thread people.

I'd build a GreensTuf replica, complete with 19Xhumungous rear wheels and race rubber.

Have you mentioned what you want it to do? Just weekends, daily etc, makes a massive difference.

Agreed. A black 300C, big chrome bling rims, dark tint, gangster style! You'll have plenty of coin left to get a mega thick gold necklace and a some gold plated grills! Shizzle!

God damn thats an ugly chain setup. Imagine the amount of movement of the chain inbetween the cams.

For 100k Id have to get me a new FG GT with mods. Or maybe even a GT40 replica.

Hehe, same here!

Pre-owned C63's are about $130k at the moment so I'd just borrow the rest.

Mine would be white with 10,000km on the clock (just run-in!).

Top of the line C Class Merc (not AMG, Cost too much), Audi A5 or A6 or sweet Aussie Muscle, FG GT, F6, G6Et (56k for 13.2 sec quarters and 5.1 sec to 100 and only AMG and M series BMW are quicker out of the box) and you still have a bit of change.
