$140K to spend...what would you get?
Ok guys, I'm pretty torn. If you had $140K to spend on a car- what would it be?
I've look at everything from an Arnage to a Gallardo...open to ALL opiniuns.

If you are looking for a driver's car, it is hard to beat a Gallardo or a GT3. Both are very different but quite a bit of fun.
If you want a drivable speed demon, check out an '04 GT2 and do a few upgrades for an easy 550HP. It would be pretty hard to beat a GT2 for a useable super car that will gobble up most things on the road.
Skip the Arnage unless you are looking for a daily driver.

That's actually more of what I was thinking, but and even though an SL65 is fast and probably most dependable (and you can get them for $85K)...here in Chicago's Gold Coast, it's like a Honda Civic.
Gallardo=Slow, and not a Murci
Arnage=More like an ascot
Porsche=Nice, but...eh.

1,200 rwhp on pump gas (93 octane) or 1,500 rwhp on c-16 (race gas)!!!! Nothing can compare for all out straight line and street performance, but better get a good life insurance policy

Totally irrelevant to the topic. I enjoy cars, that's all that should matter.
By you quoting my remark about "haters", it seems to me you'd love to respond with a smart alec comment.
If you're not contributing to the topic, please don't waste everyone's time.
