    Default Which car would you buy?

    Just for kicks (well it is possible in the near future) what car would you (aka should I) get.

    It would be tough to decide between the R8 and the Turbo for me, and I call BS on your post.

    I'm fine with you calling BS on the post.

    I didn't say I could afford it right now, I said in the near future (next couple of months hopefully)

    ^ LOL next couple months eh? Don't you work at Best Buy??


    In regards to the poll:

    Even though I am a complete Porsche fan boy, the R8 won't depreciate nearly as much as the other cars (v10 of course).. I would take a GT3 over a Turbo any day, anyway.. Your Poll is very very very WEAK!

    I based it on things that I am thinking about, not anyone else.

    If you think something else would be better and in the 100k to 200k range, then let me know.

    I work @ best buy part time, but pull in about 10x the pay from home currently.

    Sorry, don't care if it's a ZR-1 or a Z06...I just don't like corvettes.

    If I chose Porsche, a GT3 would be heavily considered, and depending on how much I have @ the moment, a GT2 might even be considered.

    ZR-1, even tho you don't like them....you asked for opinions. But good luck with what you do get.

    That's the point of this post. I will be able to afford these cars in the near future. I've worked my butt off through college and now graduate school, and now my wife and I almost don't even need a job.

    Believe what you want, but I have no reason to lie lol. I want to live a simple life after I retire and just travel, but I do want a nice car to drive on the weekends as i'll probably still drive my truck during the week because of it's usefulness.

    911 turbo, because you can easily mod it and make big power.

    The warranty on that car is voided if you use too many fingers to open the door.

    A used NSX and enjoy having a nice everyday car, but I'd go used if I was in almost any price range of vehicle, then start traveling earlier. I voted for the 911 Turbo, good car, reliable, I also think less Turbo drivers are dickheads when compared to Ferrari drivers. The Audi is cool and everything, it just doesn't seem as fun as the Turbo.

    The R8 is nice but WANTS to be a Gallardo, hell the V-10 R-8 uses its engine. I'll take the Gallardo here. The 911 Turbo is fantastic but I'd prefer a GT3 RS.
