Have mercy......
100k is not very obtainable. Lol. Not trying to be a douchebag, but unless you live in a very rich neighborhood, you're not going to see too many of those driving around.
I would realistically have a z06 over a Lambo. Mr. Practicality
I think Lambos look better, but the Z06 is still sexy
I made that point earlier as well. Mainly because it is true.

Well in my old neighborhood (paramus, nj) you do see a fair number of 7 series, 911's, s classes and the like. there might not be great needed for many people to have a Lambo. Then again many people do buy new z06's and new vipers and those come pretty close to 100k new with options. so it does happen, just depends where you live.
Relatively
Im doing fairly well and would have a very hard time talking my wife into 100k for a used 10 year old mercie
But compared to 300-400k that very very few can afford a 100k car could be purchased by many people if they really wanted it that bad and were willing to sacrafice.
However someone who would have 100k to get an old mercie and struggle to pay it off would absolutely drown with the maintance fees.
Be much better off getting a 04 Gallardo for 85k as its much cheaper to maintain than the mercy
As far as the z06 vs mercy argument i think you guys are crazy and its not even comparable.
But I understand that many here are 20 years old and spent 12k on their fbody and rather 80k for a z06 or 330k for mercy both seem like a rich mans car and unobtainable and hence are both "dream cars" so to speak and comparable.
I love american muscle and would take a fgt any day of the week over a mercy but a vette in z06 trim is just a bigger engined better handling corvette to me while the mercy even 15 years from now will still be viewed as somthing truly special.
Its all good and hopefully some of you will get a z06 this year or next. It is a nice car

Come on!
It wouldnt be kool picking up a date in a mercy or going to your class reunion in one?
Lambo is status. You pull up to the mall in a z06 and people think maybe you manage one of the stores. Pull up in a mercy and people think you own the mall....
Just sayin...
I think the viper sits just a lil higher than the z06 cause its 15k more and looks a lil more special. With 95 more hp and 3x rarer
I think a Gallardo sits a lil higher than the viper cause its 70k more looks a lil more special but has 40 less hp and isnt quite as rare.
But this is the mercy! Its 3-4 times more expensive.. 2-6 x more rare and has equal or more power depending on the year.
Bruce Wayne drove a black one!

I think that is a problem with being married. Wife wants the money to go towards her shopping, home upgrades, etc.

I would love a Gallardo for $85k, but would need to get the hell out of Iowa to make it worth while

I personally understand that

I wish. Sadly I'm out $75k cash from helping parents out with new house while waiting for other one to sell

I don't buy cars for status. I buy them because I love them. Sadly I would be worse off as a college grad with a Corvette or even another Trans Am because my elder co-workers will see that as irresponsible spending. Would have to hide it from work. That is just the "simple" Iowa mentality.
If I could fine one around here that was down I would, I've tried racing either a Ferrari FF coupe or 599 GTB (not sure which one) but they wouldn't budge even tho the dude was cruising at 80-85mph lol
Lambo>Zo6 any single day of the week if money wasnt an issue. The interior of the lmabo makes a c6z look like a chevy aveo.
Plus you could always send your lambo to Undergorund and have the best of both worlds.

Think of Top Gear getting the Corvette every once in a while.
Don't forget about Dallas Performance for turbo work for the Lambos
