Exclamation What car to get with the money i might get ($100K+)

Alright fellas. I don't want to get much into detail on how i am receiving this money, but there might be a good good chance that i will be getting $100K or MORE. When i found this out, i almost had a heart attack. I couldn't believe it. I wasn't even thinking about a car at the time, but then a friend of mine that was next to me also heard about the money and asked me what else was I going to do with my car? And i responded, "Nothing... i think i might just buy a new one!!!!" lol. Im thinking of spending no more than $45k-$50k OR LESS and the rest of the money I will INVEST. I want something fast and something that is of higher end. Im thinking of the following, but don't be shy to tell me what you would get and why.


Thinking about:
02-04 Corvette Z06
Dodge Viper GTS
05-07 C6 Corvette

I know that is alot of money to spend on a vehicle, but theres a good chance it will be a couple hundred thousand, not just exactly $100k....the rest of it will go towards a down payment on a house/houses.

i'd buy something for my car like a turbo kit, buy a decent daily driver, and buy a house with the rest. With a small house payment it will allow for a car to come down the road and i wouldnt have to worry about anything

Dude, did you by any chance get an email from Nigeria?

My take, invest it for now, and get the ZR1 when it's available.

beef up your car and ******* invest the rest. You can make good money with this market right now. why waste your money on a new car that will depreciate when you can spend not even 10k to make yours beat all the cars you listed then your money will appreciate and buy a lambo or whatever down the line. So buy a house, invest and beef up your car!!!!!!!!!

Invest in some real estate in another state, rent it out, sell the house for a huge profit. Spend 10-15k on ur car and beat up some hayabusa's and all the cars u listed.

they have a used 07 Z06 at Courtesy Chevrolet for $63K vs new $72K. I know that if you look around some more you can get a better deal.
