What would you buy, new or used ... $99,999 limit

Assuming you somehow received a voucher for a car, and the only limit was the final price (of just under $100k)

Personally, I think I'd go for a loaded CTS-V or CTW-V
What about the rest of you?

I think I could just squeak under the limit with a GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD Crew Cab and a Camaro 2SS/RS 45th Anniversary Edition.

Could also do a Black Diamond Edition CTS-V Coupe and maybe Regal Turbo.

Honestly, I'd rather buy used at $100k. That price range is ripe with sub-5,000 mile cars that were owned by rich white guys. Couple of touch-ups and it's a new car.

New - Some 911 variant, GTR Black

Used - DB9, ZR1, Viper ACR, 360 Modena

I've always been partial to '65 GTOs. Make mine a red cherry convertible with the tripower and M21 4 speed!

Z06 carbon or 2012 GTR. Depends where I would be living. Nice weather area = z06, seasonal area = gtr.

I was watching a video of a Hennessey Escalade outrunning a GTR. I think a twin turbo low to mid 11 sec Escalade would be just about as sick as it could get for a guy with or without a family.

Almost positively a used ZR1.
Unless of course, under that one-in-a-million circumstance where you can find a Gallardo under 100k, I might go for the Lamorghini...

Changed my mind. GTM supercar



with a twin turbo aluminum 5.4 from a 2011+ gt500 or a tt ls9. Either is acceptable

Bingo bango.

It would be an extremely difficult choice for me.....

Probably a 69 Camaro with a ls7 would do the trick.

Or if new, a loaded up z06

I'd either be between a used ZR1, Z06 with all the extra goodies, or a fully restored (aka close to show condition) 69 camaro
