all depends, what kinda price range are we looking at?? most of the answers you're gonna get will be ferrari, lamborghini, mclaren, etc etc,...........all the high dollar cars............personally, having driven everything short of a mclaren or enzo, i'd take a 575 Maranello........pure heaven.

Well he seems to have set the price pretty high with enzo and bugatti,

But I would have to go with and earlier bmw.. a late 70's bmw 530 i manual. It doesnt even make sence to a bmw nut I just love that particular car. ( I would have to update the ac with a modern japanese usit though)

I've been spying the new E55 AMG w/ 469 HP for $77K

Not a bad deal! Low 12's (12.39) in the 1/4 mile in a 4-door!

Hrmm, 575 Maranello is a sweet ride. Definitely my fav. ferrari. I'd probably enjoy getting my hands on a 996 TT as well. As far as my next car, I'd like to get a 540i 6spd...probably an '02 (in about 3-5 yrs)

I have to copy blurry's idea and go with a skyline! Not sure which one though. Just seems like roadhead would be easier from the right side!

I'm with LCARUCA 97....

I'd go with the NSX, because I think that's a reasonable dream. If I stopped eating for the next two or three years I'd easily have enough for an NSX.....


Otherwise I'd take a honda insight. I figure I spend too damn much time and money on gasoline that I could save some serious dough with one of those bad boys. I think they have something like 12 hp, but damn, 70 mpg will definitely get me an NSX

===========

scratch that...maybe a viper. I doubt if I stopped eating I could afford an NSX...but definitely a viper...

MB SL55 AMG, no question. It's everything in one car: convertible, hard top, sports car, luxury, etc etc.

only one?

The Alpina B7 (aka BMW e-65) The new 7 series with some improvements: supercharger added to the stock 4.4 liter V8 to produce 470 BHP, six speed Switch-Tronic automatic tranny, 21 inch Alpina twenty spoke wheels, bigger brakes, Aplina sport tuned suspension, front spoiler with AlPINA across the middle, rear spoiler, alpina: guages, steering wheel, and wood/leather interior. after I made enough money to buy this car I would become a pizza delivery guy so I could drive it all day and eat pizza smoke cigaretts. wanna see it( Its worth taking a look at It might change your life) : http://www.users.wineasy.se/aahl/e65.htm

Thats a nice car...But I'll still take the McLaren. In case you didn't hear the review, the Koenigsegg isn't forgiving at all. Its a bitch to drive. Your only car? Hah! Yea...Right.

McLaren was made to be a daily driver. Practicality and the ultimate sports car. Thus the wonderful compartment room.

always has been, always will be... the NSX. I have heard that they are the best balanced sports cars on the road, just upgrade the brakes and install a comptech supercharger and you have a supercar.
