If I were to buy an attainable car right now, I think this would be the one: Nissan GT-R Black Edition

Less than 100k, and will pull 60 mph in less than 3 seconds, with 1/4 mile in less than 12 second BONE STOCK.

if i was going old school it would have to be a 69 shelby gt 500 "elinore" new school it would hands down be a corvette zr1.

I would second all of this. The ZR-1 is an incredible car, heck the Z-06 is an incredible car. Look up the Z-06's track record with the Le Mans series, it's unreal. That car dominated, and now the ZR-1 brings 100+ more hp without basically changing the weight. Corvettes are just the perfect speed machine!

dark the orbit orange was featured on My Classic Car last night and there is only two in existence that came in that color stock from the factory one convertible and one hard top like you have pictured.

BTW if I had another to choose it would be the 1970 426?Hemi Challenger

Modern Car: Audi R8 GT

2012-audi-r8-gt_100311397_l.jpg

The classic cars have their place but if I wanted something to drive it would be a new luxury sport model like the R8. That is a comfortable beast. Manuverable with 525hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 3.7 seconds.

Next on my list would be the Cadillac CTS-V. full-28138-20165-cadillac_cts_v_7.jpg

550 hp, 550 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. A little less refined beast with more raw power.

Third might be the Mercedes SL63 AMG.

550 hp 6.3L, with 660 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 4.1 seconds.

Where is my lottery ticket. laugh

I'm all about American muscle, so my number one has to be a 1969 Dodge Superbee, red with the white vinyl top and bumble bee stripe just like my dads. (he's still kicking himself for selling it) Swap the 383 for the 440 Six Pack and call it a day.

Or a 1972 Chevelle SS 454 with 2 4-barrel Holleys on top

Or a 1970 Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack, cant find a decent picture of one though.

Your right LMITOUT, my apologies. I should have gone with the '70 not the '72 now noticing how ugly the '72 is compared to the King. But I'd still throw the 2 Holleys on top, a bigger cam, and a nice set of headers and exhaust to let the beast breathe.

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
