Several people here said used Gallardo's. Why not Murciellago's?

I hate having cars standing around that I don't use.

My vote is also for the newest, nicest GT2 I could find for $175,000. They are just incredible cars.

....but, since I already have a VERY cool GT2, I think for the family I would pick up a Panamera Turbo S. I saw a Panamera 4S recently and was beautiful, and infinitely more impressive in real life than in pictures.

Yazz911TT is infamous around these parts
The way i look at it is that you need 4 cars, Daily, straight liner, track car, drifter!! Daily would be something modest, VW Golf diesel DSG, straight liner...UGR Gallardo coz we know you can't have 1500hp on track, 997 GT3RS for track, some RWD jap or BMW for drifting. Thats probably over $175k!! But u know what i mean!!

Interesting I see the 355 pop up a few times, as that is a particular car I've always coveted.

I would also like to own a really clean 964 turbo... Obviously that car doesn't bust a budget by any means, but man what a car...

I think a 993tt would be added to that mix too.

So...

F355
964T
993TT

Who is selling such a car for $175K. I know Peter was asking around $240K and Undergrounds complete cars are north of $300k

I would do the new stroker kits from Vivid on my GT2 w/ GT35's and the full Monty (make north of 1k rwhp) redo the suspension w/ all Motons.

Would spray my E46 which just got a competition level stereo system.

Then I would pick up another rental property.

Matt, you're reading my mind... Except I "might" consider a 1995-98 993Turbo as a street car.

Oh, one other thing: I would pick up a bad *** little racing cart w/ a seat that fits my huge butt.

There is a killer track here in H town. I would probably rent a paddock too.

If I didn't already have a 3.2l Carrera in my care my answer might have been a little different. If I didn't already have my air cooled fix covered, I would be looking at a 964 Turbo or a 993 C4S instead of the Cayman.
