Default Ideal car(under $100K)

What car, if given a $100k limit and you HAD to keep the car stock would be your ideal car? Dont say "04 cobra and modify the $^%$#^ out of it" I want to know what car makes you stare when you see it in person in its stock form. What car could u see yourself buying, say, after retiring and not having kids anymore(so u could have a 2 seater if u wanted). You may include cars that are coming in the future, such as the 06 Z06 vette, and I'm sure many may like. Just keep the msrp at or below 100K. i dont care to hear "ford gt" or "ferrari this" or "lamborghini that". Also, dont give a huge list of 5-10 cars. give other people a chance to give their car w/o some person naming off all 10 top cars.

Shelby GT500, sry i know it's all typical and everyone saw Gone in 60 Seconds, but honestly to date there are very few cars I would put in that league, don't know how much the car costs...but i'm sure it can't be that much over 150,000, if it came down to it, a 71 Mach 1 with a Shelby body kit or something, anything, but I'm sry it's gorgeous I got this poster sittin above my bed...

That's a tough one. On the one hand I would say a 1967 GT-500, but they really suck to drive compared to mondern cars. Other than that, I would have to say a Viper and spend the extra dough on a Harley. I am just not impressed with German Luxo stuff at least not to the point of spending big bucks on one.

Honestly, if I could get two cars for $100k, it would be an '07 GT-500 and a REALLY nice SUV like a Caddy. That would be the **** and would cover all bases.

BMW M3. Id go for a 5, but I want the two door one, so the 3 it is. And I want the new one. But, if I couldnt have that, itd definately be an AMG. (p.s. with the M3, I could have like 50k left over to buy the new gt500...AND MOD THE ^&#$ Out of it.

^ I gotta go with the viper. The z06 will be badass and all, but vettes are too common. Already, I see plenty of 05 vettes on the road, yet a viper sighting is still rare, even for older ones. I dont care if the z06 is a few tenths quicker in 0-60. The viper just has the presence of the V-10 and is overall very badass.

true. I suppose it just depends on where u live. I live around middle-to-low class area, so a viper is INSANELY rare. Ferrari's, forget about it.
