Im probably a little bit Porsche oriented, but IMO the worst way to spend $100K.

If someone is looking for a track car, then GT3 will be a better choice.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...493959543&rd=1

Track + daily driver
911 twin turbo. You can easily pick-up a nice 2001 TT with low mileage for 80 grand from pricate seller and you have 20K for new garett turbos and mods to make car capable of ~550hp, Pss9 and a nice wheels or for 100K you can look somewhere in 2003 x50 450hp.

80grand
and 1 more time

"Bragging Rights
Quarter Mile: 12.75 s @ 107.3 mph-> for a 100k sports car
Est. Horsepower: 445
Weight: 3395"

or

12.4 1/4mile
3.9 0-60
similiar to skyline awd and weight

Yeah but there are literally thousands of Porsche 911 TTs in the US. I think many people with 100k would pay a 20k premium over a Porsche to get a on-of-a-kind car, where it is literally THE ONLY ONE in the entire nation, probably continent. If I could afford 100k on a car, and it was between these two, I know what I'd pick.

to be honest, i agree with you. yes the car is fast, and could be even faster or very fast, but for the money tehre are so many more cars out there that would get my choice, a new gt3 or used 911tt woudl be one of the few.

This car costs $50-60K's top, you are ready to pay 50K premium? There are at least 100 Skylines in NA, check dupont registry or skyline boards. Its easier to say than do and i bet that in real life situation you will not pay such a huge mark-up for the car, that isn't so much better than competitors. Unless someone is looking for a 1 of a kind showcar, i don't really see any other reasons to get this car.

I know more about Porsches, especially 911TT than any other sports car, this is why i used it as an example. Actually 2 Lotus Elises will be a good choice 2

No, try 6speedonline instead. So many nice 911TT and GT2 and most of the members are really helpful and nice. Just as clublexus for Lexus owners.

In the end, I'd probably go with the Porsche. Easier to insure, get parts, tune...I'd be buying the car for me not for bragging or getting the attention of others.

"The LM LTD model was a limited run of production cars made between June 1st and July 31st of 1996. It was a made to order car in which only a total of 98 cars were ever made."

I think this would justify the 100 grand he is asking. The car is rare.

Im not sure, but i think they are in the same league. When you are getting a car like this, IMO +/- $1000 for a service doesn't make a big difference. Registration alone for 911TT runs ~$1500.

..but it definaly worth it, don't you think so?



my car need to look like this...one day
