If it's my only car, it would have to be a 4-door. It's hard to think of a better choice than the E63. The M5 is the better handling car, but it has engine and transmission that don't feel like they belong in a 4000lb car. The M5 doesn't really feel that strong unless you get a lot of revs on the tach - that's not how I drive a big sedan. The E63 will feel faster most of the time. The auto tranny in the E63 is also nicer for DD duty than the M5's SMG.
Live with Auto for 8 years? Hell no.

Hmm i'm stuck between ZR1 or GT-R...I guess 8 years from now the GT-R would be a little more practical for myself.

At first I thought a used GT3 RS, but I'd like to give my uncle back some money.

Ariel Atom 3, a new one, with white body panels. And since Atom has a new owner/manufacture in the states, they are how using Honda powertrains. YEA!

Viper ACR. White, No stripes with the A/C and Radio.

Can't go wrong with 600hp and I've always had a love for Vipers. And V10's. Especially 8.4L ones! Comes with KW's too. Can't go wrong with those or the awesome brakes.

It wouldn't be the best DD but it would shine on the track and thats all that really matters. Right?

You broke rule #1 ($100k). Unless you want half of a R8 V10.

I want to say a Blue 2005 NSX, but while you can daily drive it, I wouldn't want to put so many miles on it. I like it for a lot of reasons, but I like the fact that it doesn't look like it will have a replacement.

But since this is the only car you can have I'd probably take the Porsche 911S or used CLK Black (reliable?).

IMO the Black Series motor should be a lot more reliable and robust compared to its V8 Kompressor cousin. Aside from that service costs are reasonable in comparison to a 600 or 65 motor.
