About 49k driveaway, and people on here have done as fast as 12.79 stock.
This is what Id choose, the G6et with all options, an LSD, 10k of go fast bits and a sunroof, and a T1 or T2 AU, and throw whatever change I had leftover at it.

Not bad for a tune/airbox/header only combo.

Invest it all in Ford Motor Company stock. Over the next 12 months you will make a very tidy profit - it's going to skyrocket over the next year or so.

oh, i could name quite a few, but i think i would settle for 2 (equalling under 100k).

1. DAILY DRIVER. 5 or 6 year old Jaguar XJR (can get one for under 70k, but be prepared as resale will sink, so you would want to be holding onto it for a while).

2. WEEKEND TOY. AU T3 TE50 Manual, prefferably in Narooma blue (should be able to get a very good example for under 30k).

the 2 of them woul

For $100K I'd go an E46 M3, B7 RS4 or an E90 335.

Slightly north of $100K either an E92 335 sedan or used C63.

100k for a vehicle and you dont know what to buy?

Man you need to go window shopping and test drive everything till your happy with one!

If it were me, I'd be buying a drag car of somesort, or something circuit orientated. Especially if you have cars that you drive regularly on the street.

somethin like this



classy gangster machine


or maybe in a metalic black

Well that is easy for me.

Aston Martin DB9. I live in the UK currently and now 204/05 models can be picked up for 45k pounds which is about $90k Aussie. That will leave me $10k for insurance.

I have only 25k more punds to save till I can actually buy one.

if someone wants to give me 100k ....i would be very happy with a fg gt or a gte t ( it would be close 49/51 it would be the gt i think) and with the change, fit straight LPG liquid injection, , there might be a few bucks left for a hair dryer on the au .

Then your up for 3-4k to ship it, compliancing and rego costs and dreaded GST and import taxes. Figure $150,000+ once they are registered.

Checkout the latest HotRod magazine with a buildup of an all-aftermarket SOHC 427 (actually a bit bigger in the cubes)!!

$100K .. *IF* was was going to spend on cars be something old like Mustang fastback and something new like BF GT .. and about $10K to extend the shed to fit them ..

I'd import a Focus RS as my car. Should be a fair chunk of change left out of $100k, so I'd get a low mileage Territory Ghia as well for the family.
