Id get a cool muscle car, like a 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda with a 426 Hemi, or A 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle with a 454. Or possibly a Hemi powered 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona or the equally wild Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird.
Maybe a Shelby Cobra with A Ford 427?
A Corvette with a (chevy) 427? (Or a modern one with the ls 6 liter)
A Dodge Viper with a v10
Awesome, and much easier to maintain than an exotic.
Jaguars are rubbish. I have owned S type original (post Mark 2), Daimler 250 V8, Daimler doublesix, XJS, XJ6 series I, II and III. My car club friend had an E type. It was nowhere near as good as it looked to drive.
I'll second the Mercedes- but be warned they are not cheap to run or maintain- and if yours is under warranty you'll void it if going elsewhere.
A good S class is much cheaper than an AMG and won;t cost you two kidneys for an engine rebuild (most have been thrashed to death).
For a sporty car- try a Lotus Exige.
Mercedes CLK 63 AMG black series. $60K runs smooth, has a top speed of 200+, and easy to maintain. A luxury super car at its finest. It's german engineered for crying out loud. If you don't take my word for it take Jeremy Clarksons he owns one.
Old school classic resto-mod...american made. Chicks dig them and have you heard of Barrett Jackson?
To respond to everyone. What cars do you own? As well I have the money. It isn't an issue. I'm just going to have a surplus of the surplus of that money. I use 30k to live comfortably and the rest goes to traveling around the world just because. I feel like doing more. So maybe any other ideas. I'm humble but I do like these cars. I mean wouldn't you want to drive your dream cars?
Answer to the last question: My dream car is a car that runs on CO2, drives itself, and is capable of manufacturing and replacing it own parts.
I don't see what is intriguing about fast exotic cars. When you know the SR-71 blackbird exists(2,200 MPH), doesn't a car that tops out at 267 MPH seem overly insignificant.
I completely understand what you mean, but such vehicles don't exist yet. Heck maybe add a warped drive. But i mean if their is going to be such a car. I want that car to fly beyond the speed of light. But since i live in the now. I am quite fine with the style of the supercars. I probably will buy the newest of non co2 producing automotive. Just realize this, making a prius hurts the environment more than it saves. All that nickel for their huge batteries leave a huger carbon footprint than modern petro sedans after it's life span. Crazy how producing batteries for fuel efficiency cause more harm to the environment.
I have considered the S model though. They are pretty quick. Eventually out preform petro cars all the way.
The kind that'll get me from point A to point B With utmost efficiency.
Perhaps a Nissan Leaf.
A Tesla would be nice.
Damn. Even if someone gave you one of those cars, I'm willing to bet you'll never have the money it takes to keep them tuned and running as they should. You have picked some of the highest maintenance cars in production.
For instance, to change a headlight bulb on a newer Jag is about 2 grand and unless you have a complete shop available to you, and several hours, you can not do it yourself.
Stick with a Toyota Corolla and you'll get where you want to go at a price you can afford.
