What is the fastest, most luxurious car I could buy right now?

I'm looking to splurge and spend money on the nicest car I can buy. Looks, luxury, and speed are my top priorties and money is not an issue. I was thinking of the Mercedes SL55 AMG. What do you guys think?

I really don't like the Z8 maybe a Porsche GT2.

Maybach Mercedes Benz can whip the Rolls Royce Bentley hands down.

Hey there are way too many rich dudes in the U.S. who like to spend money on cars.......

When I have that much money, I would play women instead of cars.......or both

Anyways.....a dark gray Audi RS6 seems very good to me...

If not, a red 360 Modena would do......

If still not enough, get a Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and pretends to be James Bond......

UM, I HAVE LOTSA MONEY TO BURN AND I WAS WONDERING IF A BUGATTI VEYRON IS A GOOD CAR TO BUY??!? OR, I WAS, UM, THINKING THAT, UM, MAYBE I SHOULD LIKE "DOWNGRADE" AND LIKE, BUY AN ASTON MARTIN AMV8 INSTEAD??!?? WELL...? OPINIONS!??!??

Okay, seriously...It is one thing to ask opinions on this board whether a BMW M3 or Infiniti G35 are good cars because the likelihood of someone here test driving/owning one are pretty good...But, it is quite another to post a question about what supercar to buy where "MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE". What are the chances of anyone on an ENTRY-LEVEL LUXURY CAR forum knowing what is good for over $100,000USD? Other than topdaytrader (who many of us suspect is a fake), no one here has a car that costs nearly 3 times our CL-S's...Sorry, BlackTLS, but your post is really stupid...

I myself was trying to decide between Lamborghini, Ferrari and Rolls Royce, but I decided to go with Acura because I heard Front Wheel Drive was better.

Actually, upon thinking about it, I'd seriously consider a Z06 C5 and pay a visit to a mr John Lingenfelter. Kinda lose the luxury though.

M5? Great car for us poor people...but, too cheap for a guy who's looking for a new vehicle WHERE MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE. So, an M5 is too crappy for him...

Damn so many jealous and immature haters on this board. How old are all you guys? I happen to run into quite a bit of money recently and want a nice ride. What the hell is wrong with that? I have the TLS now and it's time to get rid of it. Now my post isn't so stupid isn't big guy?

And sorry but a Diablo or Mclaren are not daily drivers. Those are weekend cars to just cruise around in.

Any more excuses?

Jealous? Hardly...However, I do feel that your post is a waste of time here. Seriously, how many on an ACURA CL FORUM would know what is a good car to have when MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE. (Yes, I just test-drove a Jaguar XJ220 LAST NIGHT, and um, yeah, it ROCKS ) Sorry, but asking a question like that here is setting yourself up for target practice. But, you really want help? Here's some places to start: Visit http://www.mbusa.com/ for some info about Mercedes-Benz fleet (but, I apologize that they have no info pricewise on the upcoming SLR but since you have tons of dough...you may not give a crap, right?? ). THEN, do yourself a favor and go to http://www.bmw.com/ for info on some of BMW's cars...THEN, if these cars are still too lowly for you, try http://www.carclassic.com/ and opt for a nice Aston Martin Vanquish...Good? Good.

Ok I thought you were talking about the Mclaren. Don't get your panties in a wad. The Bentley looks pretty phat. I'll have to look up the stats on that one.
