Audi RS4!

You'll get an early, LHD E60 M5 for 50k just about, I'd have thought.

It won't be 2006 though

Twedd17 · 8 May 2006 at 22:22

2006 M5???? you're looking at £64k brand new so a used one will be at least £55k?!?!? (perhaps)

911 of some sort or an M3 CSL.

355 if running costs really didn't matter

brocksta · 8 May 2006 at 22:40

Porsche 911 GT3 without a second thought :cool:

De Tomaso Pantera. Then Spend another 20,000 on giving it about 1,200 streetable BHP and able to go round corners with that too.

And have 10k spare.

Job done

For those that haven't heard of it:

Well, at the moment anyway.

Also like the Alfa Romeo Montreals, although they're much less than 50,000.

Wouldn't say no to a 308GTB, maybe an ol' Vantage - plenty around for that kind of money.

Something Italian, low slung, and stupidly quick

Looks a lot like a Countach from that angle.

What ever sort of a Dodge Charger you could get for £50k. Not sure if I would go for the rarest that money would buy, or get a more common(as chargers go) one and tune the asre off it.

£50k would buy you a good '68-'70 R/T Charger with a big-block and give you plenty of change to spend on goodies. Probably wouldn't stretch to a Hemi though, since they've headed into the +$100k range

Hmmm.....what would I buy.....probably a '70 Challenger, or a big-block station wagon of '63-'70 vintage. Or a Series 1 Jaguar E-Type, plenty of them going for under £50k. *slurp*

Tough one to be honest.

Second hand Dodge Viper GTS

or

2005 Mustang + supercharger

Leaning towards the Viper though.

There was one at silverstone this weekend. Looked lush from the back and side, wasn't keen on the front.
