Ford GT is more like $250k. Not sure where $130 came from, they have never been that cheap.

1. Ariel Atom - $65k
2. Lambo Aventador - $400k
3. Ford GT - $255k
4. Rolls Royce Phantom - $200k
5. Toyota Supra - $30k
6. Mods for my Supra since I spent all my money (Merc SLS AMG Black would be here)

New GTR, New Porsche GT3 RS, S2000; balance would go into installing a quality paint booth, dyno, and lift in the last 3 bays, along with various tools (tire installation/alignment tools, etc.)

I love turning wrenches, so this would be awesome for me!

1) Lexus LFA ($375,000)



2) Ford SVT Raptor ($44,000) + towing equipment ($30,000)



3) Jaguar E-Type ($70,000)



4) Ferrari 458 Italia ($300,000)



5) Ariel Atom ($50,000)



6) SRT Viper ($100,000)




Total = $969,000.


This assumes my daily driver is a German comfortable cruiser, such as a VW Phaeton, BMW M5, or Mercedes S-class.

My selections include a car that truly does try to be the best, a childhood dream, a current dream, a track monster, a piece of history, and something to haul them around when they do break down, because I won't be driving them lightly. The hauler doubles as an offroad excursion machine. I managed to include Japan, the US, Italy, and the UK, and Germany (the DD).

I'd have an Aston Martin V12 Zagato in every color, a new F-type (coupe), a C7 convertible.

ulta high end exotics have never gotten me overly excited.

Great Friday thread! 1,000,000 – I wouldn’t limit myself to 6 cars + DD. But if I did
DD – start with 2013 M5 Sedan and or 100K revolving DD cost
1.)117K – 2014 R35 GTR track edition – Gotta experience the Hype
2.)90K? - Place holder for C7 Z06
3.)100K – 2014 Porsche Cayman S – well optioned with ½ cage and race mods
4.)80K - E46 M3 Racecar build
5.)100K – American Muscle Placeholder – C2 Vett split window 427
6.)200K – Totor Coach hauler and stacker trailer for 2+ cars and race supplies
About 700K but who cares b/c below would be my real list of cars would actually be larger and full of cheaper fun cars. I don’t think I want the ultra exotics either. Maybe a Audi R8 V10 spyder in place of the C7 Z06 vette above.

If I already had a house with a A/C shed with car lifts on my own land.. . and made a dope salary.. .
DD – 2013 M5 sedan.
1.)80 - buy an already prepped Race car – E46 M3
2.)40K – EVO8 Rallycross beast build
3.)35 - S2000 CR – stock – collector
4.)30 - E30 M3 – stock - collector
5.)25 - E36 M3 4dr with S54 motor swap ½ cage whore
6.)50 – Toyota Supra Turbo – well equipped
7.)25 - 2000 Acura Integra Type R with K20 fully built NA 280whp and half cage
8.)90? - C7 Zo6 vette when it’s released
9.)100? - R34 GTR when it’s possible to drive on road leagally
10.)100? – Muscle car restomod placeholder – C2 vette split window 427
11.)200? – Totor Coach hauler and stacker trailer for 2+ cars and race supplies
12.)60K – Off-road truck slot – Ford SVT raptor to start
13.)80? The Wife’s revolving daily driver slot – Caddy CTS-V wagon – kids ya know.. .
14.)65 – the revolving convertible slot that is good for long trips – Camaro ZL1 vert maybe?

Just under $1,000,000 - stretched and well spent imo.

i like cheap cars more than anything lol.

1. Subaru 22b (no clue how much these are, so lets just say 50k)
2. 2g Mitsubishi Eclipse (<10K)
3. 2005 Aspen White STI (20k)
4. R32 skyline (30k ish, purely for the RHD coolness, oh and inline 6 boost)
5. Datsun 510 with an f20c swap! (20kish)
6. SRT viper probably (102k)

so i only spent 232k...so with the remaining money id build everything minus the 22b and the viper
