well ****......wanna go in halfway with me?

 

I think you are just going to have to play the lotto and hope for the best, or find some nice rich cougar and rock her world.

 

I like the way you think!

 

 

What about a Lotus Exige S...not many creature comforts but very capable drivers car.
Or if you like the Aston Martins style I bet you could find a used late model Jaguar XKR in your price range, the latest body style looks pretty hot to me!

As sweet as that ferarri would be, id have to take the XKR. Such a sweet exhaust note

 

Audi TTRS is a good option. That car is so nice. If only they brought the DSG transmission to the US. 0-60 in 3.6 seconds with DSG and launch control... yum!

Back to that GTR, while its an amazing car, I've read numerous articles and tests that say its not all that fast in factory form. And that it wont do 10s from the factory???

 

Not sure if anyone has run 10s yet stock but they get pretty close.

 

I would stay away from GT-R, they have pretty bad transmission issues.

I would personally go with the used Viper if you care only about performance.
Overall package ... Pontiac G8 GXP.

 

2009-2010 gtr's had the issue with launch control overheating the tranny and differentail. It was addressed and fixed in the 11+ models.
Vipers are hard for DD cars. No factory abs can definitely be a problem especially with other drivers on the roads. The g8 is a great car.

 

One thing you could never go wrong with, and im surprised it isnt on here already is a used 03-04 cobra! TONS of mod potential from the factory. An most will be under 25k even if they are mint condition. No real issues with them either, other than the fact that you may have women clamoring all over your car
With the money you save buying a cobra you could make it completely your own and almost unbeatable in terms of performance

 

If his budget is $50,000 he's not gonna find a 2011+ GT-R for that price.
Even the first year of GT-Rs (2008) cost more than that.

 

True

 

2009 or so Supersnake..

 

Id go for a Z06 or a Mk4 Supra
