$200K exotic car or $200K modified car?

I would buy a skyline R32 or R34, and make it look like the one in my garage I think ^^
and then spent the rest of the money on making it road-legal

@ EMPTYwords

I would get a 350z and would mod it to make my nfsu1 350z.

That is 70k.

With the other 130k I would create a new tuning garage called SpeedStation. My major wish is to lead the tuning scene in my country

With the benefits of the garage I would make my nfsu2 RX8

Then I would have to take a hard decission: which of those cars will be for me and which one for my future wife?

I would take that 200k buy a rundown old house for under 100k, fix it up, and sell it for a hefty profit, repeat the process during a number of years, until i become stinking rich, then i would be able to buy several beautiful cars exotic and normal cars all done up, in particular the Ferrari 250 GTO.........

Since the only exotics that I can think of that fall roughly into the $200K range are Ferraris (nice, but for some reason, not really my thing), and Lamborghinis (a little overweight, and from what I've read, fragile), I'd have to go with the $200K modified car. I'd probably end up leaning towards a modified Corvette (a Lingenfelter, or something like that), or maybe a RUF Porsche. I'm interested to see what comes out of the C6 Corvette and 997 911

if i was given 200 K i would do anything to make it grow....real estate and shares so i can buy my ultimate vehicle. The Mclaren F1.................imagin rocking up to a drag meet in one of them

LMFAO......

holy f*** i've neva seen so much debate over 1 subject

still cant stop laughing.....

okay..(deep breathe)...i'm under control now...(sigh)

pple think out of the box here. with 200K, y stick wif cars???..hey i'm sure u can pick up a helicopter..(mayb 2nd hand i dunno). then challange any exotic or import models to a drag race

or a more sensible idea that was mentioned a time ago..start u'r own garage..then everycar that u make will 'belong to you'

hehe, planes and choppers are more expensive then you think... if you want a decent one... and ever thought what a license to fly (forgot how it is called) costs??

200k won't be enough to buy a McLaren F1, it costs 1.000.000 $

Post by **TheStig** » 27 Mar 2005, 17:43

and 200K for real estate... well I don't know how the prices are where you live... but there I live (ok here the houses are damn expensive) for 200K you can get a small apartment or maybe a small family house

bashderq · Post by **bashderq** » 28 Mar 2005, 01:38

i would agree with ya stig...my house (which isnt v.flash at all) costs 250k....damn estate agents...grrrr...

as for the chopper license...thats why forgers were invented

lol i bought our hosue for 300 bucks

i'd prob buy a sports bike and just make it tons faster, i love sports bikes alot but i dont get very involved with it cuz too many ppl say "its too dangerous" and such, but yeah, a nice sports bike and some new engines mods to it and things...if not that then maybe tune up the celica

Also, just for the record, helicopters arent all that fast. The Police Squirrels top out at 140mph in the UK.

Then i would rather have a modded car then that helicopter it will be much faster

There was a chase a couple of years ago (less than 20 miles from me incidentally) involving the police and a stolen 911 GT2 (996). The GT2 obliterated the following police down the motorway. He was caught though, he parked the car in a nearby barn, the thermal imaging picked up the engine heat from inside the barn, and he was arrested. Its been on TV a couple of times, Ill have a look and see if the vids floating around on the net.

i'd probably take a fast BMW, like an M6 , and completely tune the engine

Wow, thread necromancy.

Ah, whatever. You can't get in much in the ways of exotics for $200,000, though I'd probably get a CaymanS or something.

Can you stop kicking VERY old topics?

There isn't much to tune on M6 engines anyway, unless you try to bolt on a supercharger or something like that.

Can't be done anyway, compression ratio is too high

pft.. 200 grand.. i'd go and buy some new lotus elise and put a turbo on it. there's my 2 cents. why the elise compared to ferrari or porsche? lightweigh, less horsepower, probably better for everyday driving. i'd hate to spend more money on gas than on the actual car itself, you know?

Don't make me laugh, it hurts

If you drove a Lotus around the streets every day, your spine would be reduced to a quivering blob of jelly.
