$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.

Formula Mazda, Beast Junior...400HP 135i
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.

Gallardo=Slow, and not a Murci
Arnage=More like an ascot
Porsche=Nice, but...eh.

Dodge SRT or Gen 2 Twin Turbo Viper built by Underground Racing 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

Now THATS a nice idea. I've considered doing something sick like that.

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.
