But if I had to decie, it would be:

50k--->2002 z06 with enough left to do about 700 rwhp
100k--->early 2k's 911tt with some cash left for "goodies", or a used GT3 with some cash left for "goodies"

50K - Since the M3 or C55 I would want is over 50, I'll take a Vette.

100k - CLS55

track car;
50k=Ariel Atom
100k= Ariel Atom (I'd spend the rest on some fun)

real world;
50k= Infiniti M35 Sport
100k= Infiniti M45 Sport and an Ariel Atom

If I needed a driveable track car, I'd want a s/c'ed S2000 or Lotus Elise (50k), or a Porsche 911 Carrera S (100k)

$50k ---> Either the 2005 RL (if I were wanting a grocery getter) or a new S2000 and a few, scratch that, shitload of parts that I didn't put on the last one I had that I always dreamed of modding more heavily.

$100k ---> 2005 997 S. Opt for just about everything on that (including the PCCB ceramic rotors) and you'll end up just under a hundred grand. Track day killer that still runs a 12.3 quarter, 3.8 to 60, guys respect it heavily, it looks hot, and as Dan Martin would put it "has serious panty removing power."

50K - 2005 TL with transitional supercharger for low end torque and turbo for high rpm.

100K - Supercharged Rangerover truck, that is the end section that is the "back" or "third row" will be cut and lined with weatherproof material to look like a 4 door pickup.

BMW K1200s


BMW K1200LT


And for 100K
Chevy Corvette C6 Z06 (w/ scratch left to mod a bit)

Or
Lingenfelter Twin Turbo Vette...
Check this Vid out...

Thank you for your support (B&J)

Add another 20 to that price and now your at the ZO6. If it was 50 there would be a 3 year waiting list on it.
