If you had 45k for one car...

[AMGPower55]

OP do you have kids? I couldn’t get away with two doors. Baby seats make it a deal breaker...

No kids and no plans for any within the time I will have the next car!

It's downright frightening. It's everything I liked about the ported Gen 2, but this one also builds more boost with rpm, so the pull starts out scary and the terror builds with rpm.

Come to Indiana and I'll take you for a ride.

LOL
That's awesome man. One of the Youtube guys, JD Joyride, recently took his huge Whipple supercharger off his GT500 and added the VMP Gen 3 and it's like night and day according to him and his buddy that knows the car really well. Watching the video, you can see how nasty it gets.

I appreciate the offer. If I'm ever down that way, I'll take you up on that. Thanks!

What hood is that? 4" and 3?"

3" H.O. Fibertrends

 

[Sn95Snake]

13-14 Gt500
14-16 M3
Gen 2 Viper GTS (not the best daily especially in rain, snow, wet/cold conditions.)
14-18 Hellcat


Those are a couple options I would consider if I was purchasing only one car.

If it was me personally I think I would spend the 45k on 2 cars. A clean/built 03/04 Cobra and a modded Jeep Wrangler. I personally enjoy having the ability to have multiple different driving experiences.

 

[derklug]

Audi or BMW, just because I make a lot of money off of people who buy these. Your fun, my GT350 mods.

Can you actually finance a viper for 45k?

I figured they would be too old for banks, or else I would consider one myself over gt500

 

[9397SVTs]

I would consider the '09-'14 CTS V and '16-'17 SS. Luxury, comfort, sophistication, and more importantly, they blend in with traffic. (no cop magnets)

I don't have just one car, so I would have a difficult time using one car for everything. If I did, I would keep my '14 CTS V.

I would rather have at least two cars; each with a specific purpose.

Spending 45K on a car is one thing, being able to own the 45K car is completely different.

$45k would be the down payment. I expect to pay $90K

There are a few credit unions that would, penfed comes to mind.

Average Joe like myself don’t have 45k laying around for a down payment. Frankly if I did, it wouldn’t a wise investment of 45k. I would be financing something that’s at around 45k

My GT500 would serve as down payment.

I like the S6. RS7 if you have $70k.

I love the RS7. Kinda the Quasimodo of sedans, but they’re rockets.

And out of left field .... one vehicle to DD and be a weekend play toy, for me I'd be looking at a TRD pro 4runner.
You can comfortably drive it all day long in any weather , decent fuel economy, it can take you places no sports car can dream of and they have wicked resale.

 

[98 svt]

'87 GN with a built 3.8 and a giant turbo.

 

[big reg]

LOL Z28 for DD. Hope all your clothes are made of technical fabric since it does not have A/C and bring your kidney belt cuz the ride sucks. But other than that it is awesome.

AC and stereo were options and almost everyone sold included it.

I am liking my Chevrolet SS more and more every day. The car is just so well balanced and gets looks everywhere it goes. Because it is so rare most don't know what it is and that adds to the fun. The warranty just ran out so now I am thinking about a little boost. We will see, as is it is pretty fast for a more door.

 

[351stang]

I just throw this out there, since no one else has.....

2018 Camaro SS 1LE

There are stupid discounts on the left overs on dealer lots, plus new car smell.

Only complaint I have is the lack of the rear seats not being able to fold down. They are right in that the SS is really just a 4 door Camaro SS except being 3 inches longer over all.
