What car to get?

Simbachinna · 08-10-2011, 10:47 PM

I am planning to get a new car which might possibly be a m3. But I was wondering wether to get a 911 turbo a r8 or buy and modify a m3 exactly like one of the Active Autowerke green machines or save for a GT3 Porsche or another Lambo

P.s. I already own a Shelby GT500 a lamborghini murci a lotus Elise and a rx-8 for drifting if this helps

The GT3 RS 4.0 is limited in production, so get it if they are still available. I said "if" because all 600 have been sold and 126 that were shipped to our shores are all accounted for.

If not, get the GT2 RS instead.

I'd sell your shelby (assuming you have another daily) and get lightly used Scud. The AA Green Machine is a waste of money imo

BMW Fanatic · 08-11-2011, 01:00 AM

M3 + ESS 650 supercharger + FULL Innotech F1 exhaust system.

/thread.

For someone reason I've never liked any of the ferraris ive driven i would rather have a mclaren or Lamborghini
and I don't want anything above 220,000 due to maintenance costs.
Why is the green machine a waste of money? For someone reason I've fallen in love with it.

Yes, when someone is thinking of buying a second Lambo... maintenance costs clearly play a huge factor.

+1

I personally like the part about "Saving for a GT3 or another lambo". There's no "saving" for cars when you have a garage like that.

Pics of current garage...or i call pure BS!!!

Yes when someone has just enough Money to buy a car Maintenance costs add up quick

When you get paid biweekly and are also buying a expensive house plus have a family there is something called saving for 2 or 4 or 6 weeks

Your worried about maintenance costs on an Fcar and you already own a lambo??

Maybe you should sell some of your cars since money seems to be a factor.

Yes when have 3 kids in college = 170,000 and saving for retirement and buying a new house maintenance costs do play a factor

Sounds to me you should skip the new car then... this whole thing just doesn't make sense. But I have a feeling I'm just playing a game here.

All i'm doing is looking for a good track car under 200,000 that I can buy and was wondering what a good car would be?

You can spend a fraction of that and get a killer track car. However, if you are hell bent on spending tons of money for a track car get the GT3 RS. Fairly low in upkeep...
