SL65 Black 300K http://www.dpccars.com/photos-08/07-...ack-Series.jpg

Porsche GT2 200K http://supercarspecs.com/images/pors...e-1280x960.jpg

Astin Martin DB9 200K http://www.thetorquereport.com/2009_...martin_db9.jpg

You can get the SL65 black and GT2 for the price of one SLR and the Black will kill the SLR in power! So this is the budget mined stable of today!

The DB9 is just for sheer class and industrial design.

Underground Racing Twin Turbo Gallardo pushing 1400 AWHP, 60-130 of 3.5 seconds(soon to be in the 2s if they didn't shift) and street tire 1/4 mile times of 9.1, wait until they add slicks. World domination never hooked, looked, or feel so good.

Theres going to be an upcoming episode of "Pass Time" on Speed Channel that is all UG racing cars which I saw live wasn't really impressed by the lambos they must only hook on very well prepped tracks.

Here I go
1: 06' Ford GT 160K
2: 05' SL65 75K
3: 2010' Shelby GT500 50k

Their Gallardos are still AWD and hook a ton even on the street...the stats are there and verified concerning the Vbox times. No production car is coming close to their numbers. It would be nice to see that episode as not too long ago their cars were doing low 10s as they didn't up the boost as much as they run until now.

stevebez · 07-12-2009, 04:29 PM

Something on TopGear here recently had a drag race between a GT2 and a Gallardo LP560 - dunno if it was a SV ... I thought the GT2 with launch control would smoke the lambo ... well the lambo has "thrust control" - at least thats what they called it on the show. Well .... the video shocked me completely... the Lambo took off and the GT2 never caught up - think they ran 1/2 a mile or so.. up to 150mph.

That gave me uber respect for the Gallardo, which I thought was just a real pretty Audi.

Found the video link of the above... http://www.tuninglinx.com/html/top-gear-videos-20.html

On the bottom left of this page.

BTW guess what happened when they timed them round their track !!??

Fantasm · 07-12-2009, 05:14 PM

Nissan GTR
Lambo Gallardo LP560
Cayenne Turbo S

I might do #1 and #3 very soon actually.

W211 BEAST · 07-12-2009, 05:48 PM

Well... I see we have new rules. It doesnt change mine very much though.

1)E55 Estate with 7 seats--- $50,000.
2)Used, old body SL65---- $70,000.
3)New 997 Porsche Turbo Coupe--- $150,000?

cheez80 · 07-12-2009, 08:03 PM

221 s65
range rover sport supercharged, with some body mods and 23" rinspeed wheels
lambo lp670 superveloce, just to piss people off

deloreandriven · 07-12-2009, 08:34 PM

1) Zonda
2) SLR
3) Mclaren F1

wow that was hard

there are soooo many that could be on this list

My original choices on page 1 don't quite fit into the rules but they are close as they are "semi realistic". The guys above this post must certainly not have read about the 300k limit...

To fit the rules, and buying new as I prefer to do, my new list (all 2009s):

GT3 RS
M5
ML63

RenntechE55 · 07-13-2009, 12:28 AM

For the 300k rule it would be

1. E55 ( 25k)
2. Range rover ( 25k)
3. Carrera GT ( 249k)

I like your strategy.

I don't like this 300k rule... I make slim pickings (most likely) compared to most people on this board, so even 300k to waste on cars is probably a pipe dream for me at this point. If I'm gonna dream, damnit I'm gonna do it big!

M3 GTR · 07-13-2009, 01:08 AM

1- G55K (TO GO TO WORK)
2- F430 SCUDERIA (EXOTIC)
3- MAYBACH 57S (WEEKEND FAMILY CAR)

IF 300G RULE WAS IN EFFECT, ID DO IT PRETTY SIMILAR TO THE WAY IM DOING IT DOWN, AND IM STILL A YOUNG GUY...
1- NISSAN GTR (80k)
2- G55 (120k)
3- S63 (100k)

*PRICES ALL PENDING OF COURSE.

stevebez · 07-13-2009, 05:54 AM

It's interesting how a financial constraint changes things. Lets face it no decision in life can be made without some constraint/compromise. E.g you may want to spend 300k on a motor yacht?!

Anyhow what is also interesting is how few of us actually have what we want!!!!!

mrdci · 07-13-2009, 01:15 PM

jdeastbay · 07-13-2009, 03:07 PM

Per the new rules:

07 S65 = $100k:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...3A1%7C72%3A317

06 Cayenne TurboS = $65k:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...3A1%7C72%3A317

04 Challenge Stradale = $134k:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-Fe...3A1%7C72%3A317

06A180Man · 07-13-2009, 04:24 PM

1. SL65
2. G550
3. Classic 450 SLC

Sunir · 07-13-2009, 05:51 PM

Here's mine:

1) SL of some sort; hard top vert modded for sunny days (or a Gullwing 300SL 1955 classic)...the SL has always been one of my favorite examples of a marque representative car, in this case MB...the SL in a way defines the platform from the days of Moss and Fangio single seaters which conceptually spawned into the lightweight and sporty 2 seat roadsters for the European market and set the tone for a timeless concept and design, classic lines, and a car that always looks great as a marque flagship for Mercedes Benz

2) Lamborghini Murcialago LP640, stock, hardtop, not the roadster. This car is pure gorgeous; the marque has history and it's just a brilliant looking vehicle!

3) hmmmm...The daily driver in the limited 3 car garage ...well not a McLaren F1 or a Ferrari (my fav varients are 288 GT, 599, 430 Scuderia, or a classic 280 SWB) ....no maybe something as a fast sedan; yet comfortable; maybe a Bentley Continental or Mulliner...

Would sub in a Scuderia as the daily but accomodating the kids.

To conform to the new rules...

1) Ferrari Challenge Stradale (weekend car) $150k
2) Porsche 997 C4S (daily) $100k
3) Acura MDX (family hauler) $49k

Andy0331 · 07-13-2009, 10:45 PM

#1 S63 ~ $90,000
#2 Ferrari Challenge Stradele $160,000
#3 GMC Yukon Denali or F350 depending on what boat I've got at the time $40,000

Realistically, to stay within the $300k cap, I would hold off for a few years to pass on the Stradele & pick up a F430 Scuderia when they drop to sub $200k.

Given my above original list, while it doesn't have a Zonda or a Konigsegg on it, it still breaks the $300K limit of the revised game plan. However, it should be noted that if I add a Saab to the list, technically it can be counted as a Konigsegg now...

So, here's my revised list:

Porsche 997 GT3 (must have it for my track car...)
Porsche Cayenne GTS
Mercedes-Benz SL63
