Be a baller.... go the 2003-2005 E55 AMG
Supercharged 5.5L 6/4 Piston brakes 0-100 in 4.5 1/4 in 12.6 (both the same as the GT-R spec) Same era as B-series Infinatley better build quality and interior features Lap it for a couple of years, burn 8-10K max then trade up to a 2010-ish C63! But seriously, you want ultimate reliability, efficiency and comfort?, go the Turbodiesel Territory Daniel |

I don't think "Ultimate reliability" and "Territory" go together real well.

Another 4WD duel cab diesel ute, that's the only thing I miss from my last job,
Granted it wasn't an off the shelf car with leather trim in dash GPS and all sorts of other stuff that made it a statesman in a colorado box But it for me was perfect I could bring stuff home for my property and drive it to the directors meeting the next day, loved it. When I resign me contract in Jan I'll be getting something very similar, but I really like the current Ranger (ALOT) so it will probably based on that

If it had to be spent on a new car I would propably take the new gt , hard to beat that performance for dollar value . Secong hand I would not know where to start as there are so many bargains to be had there right now. I went on carsales fornthe first timenin a long time the other day after my brother showed me the price of some ferraris that seemed quite cheap. Go and look at the price of some old gt's , some bargains to be had .

Cat600 is on the money, suprising? lol.
The F6X would be a wicked family hack! Prefered being in that than my aunt's Cayenne turbo. As for the E55, my uncle has one. Its a missle. Spewing when he sold it to get another cayenne. I'd still have a lil 4200GT mazza though. Or take my FG GT and 50k and get a 10' Shelby GT500.

FPV FGI GS with the Boss 315. Why? Looks like a normal Falcon XR, but with more power and without the extravagant styling of a GT/F6.

XB coupe, wanted one for a long time. I'd have to have enough left over to buy a bigger shed to put it in though...

I dont have the room for a project car. But of late I have been into the semi luxury market and would really love to be in one of these on a daily basis.

Ummmm...
I'm spoilt for choice. I would try and get hold of a AUIII XR8 and depending on condition spend the money to bring back to glory and mod it after that.
