You have $250,000. What 2 new cars do you buy?

Personally, I’d have a very green garage:

Define “new”.  Would something like a singer or ICON count?

Could you get one for less than $250K?

Can I buy 2 Raptors and pocket the rest?

And this

im thinking of a maltec Maltexporer. technically a 25 year old 80 series with a new body and interior but its completely rebuilt.

https://www.maltec.org/toyota/

It’ s about 121 grand.

So that plus...only two cars you say?

hmmm

I’ll get back to you.

yes, but why have 2 raptors and not 1 raptor and a Mustang GT?

Decked out Ariel Atom and I’d debate between a Ford Raptor or a Jag F -Pace SVR.

If that’s not polar opposites, I don’t know what is.

Any particular reasoning?

Is it bad that $121k doesn’t seem awful for that?

If I had $125,000 for  one car, it’d be the F-Pace SVR. Practical and stupid fast.

CalzoneGolem > dtg11 - is probably on an adventure with Clifford 09/11/2019 at 12:46

One for me and one for my wife.

The Taycan for fun, commuting, and all the electric torques.

The Ram for hauling/towing, road tripping , and for all the diesel torques.

If I have to spend $250,000 why not get two complimenting vehicles. There’s basically no overlap in capability here.

Only if you get one of each configuration (crew cab and extended cab)

I’m so overwhelmed with the possibilities. And I fantasize about affordable used cars all the time, that I’m at a loss. Lately I’ve been obsessing about 2013 LR4's, they make a brown one! But perhaps if I had to have new, it’d be the new 110 and maybe an RS6.

At least Brexit made these challenges easier. So £200,000 for me, so:

Corsa e for £25,0 00

Vantage AMR Manual for £150,000

not if you’ve seen them. They are soo well done. brand new bodies, brand new interiors, completely rebuilt mechanicals and frame.  Turbo diesel 5 speed manual ~60 square foot all terrain living space plus an additional bed up top and triple lockers .

ONLY new? I’m with you on the 110, just with a white roof. Park that next to a Paname ra E-Hybrid.

C8 Z51 3LT with MR shocks puts me at about $80k

 The Colorado ZR2 Bison tacks on another $50k for a grand total of about $130k, leaving about $120k for mods.

Whatever the lowest power Elise Lotus are making this week. Turns out it’s 220hp and supercharged. About $50,000

Plus the van version of the new Defender, in a (for now) theoretical 110 version. Again, about $50,000.

If that doesn’t exist, then I’m sure it would be possible to build a new version of the previous version and register it as a kit car.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > dtg11 - is probably on an adventure with Clifford 09/11/2019 at 13:30

How much car does one need? I went for a T-M odel E350d, basically the small six cylinder diesel, option packages focused on driver comfort, basic black on black leather/cloth interior, classic MB exterior in metallic red and the smallest wheels possile. Sets me back about €69,000, the rest gets put aside into as savings , because I am single and don’t need much more than this anyway.

New Lexus GX and overland modify it to taste (like below) ~$125k. Then a Audi RS6 Avant. Option it out to $125k

Id wait two years and then get a C8 Z06 and A F150 Raptor. The money left over can go to a nice lift.

I have seen the SVR in person and it looks beastly, but I think the C8 would be a better fit for me.

For me, fast is fast. I don’t need the capability of the Z06, I just want something that looks good and makes good noises that also goes fast

So when I went out for a test drive I picked a manual C7 Z51. Piece was reasonable and it looked ok, but it was a 1LT trim and when I pushed it it wasn’t much faster than my IS-F, and I knew I was going to need more.

At this point I’m breaching supercar performance numbers but I feel pretty comfortable with the setup.

I'm up for a drive next week and this drive last year, a SVR showed up. If he does again this year, I'll take photos and share.

This is easy: LT3 C8 Corvette w/ all options and a Hennessy Veloci Raptor.

It’s all about relativity. An F Type R isn’t a ton faster than an ISF, but it is when compared to a G37. Shoot, the Defender isn’t much slower than my G37 with its 0-60 of 6.1 seconds

VajazzleMcDildertits - read carefully, respond politely > dtg11 - is probably on an adventure with Clifford 09/11/2019 at 15:26

It IS all about relativity for shure.

I have a FWD V6 Crosstour which has surprised a lot of people with its unexpected 0-60 of 7 seconds and quarter of 15.9 s @ 92 mph which is pretty quick for a working class lumbering manatee.

Let’s see the rest.

G37 does 0-60 5.0 and a quarter of 13.5@105.3 mph per Motor Trend.
IS-F does 0-60 4.5 and a quarter of 12.9 sec @ 111.4 mph per MT.
C7 Z51 does 0-60 3.9 and a quarter of 12.2 sec @ 119 mph per Car and Driver.
F Type R does 0-60 3.5 and a quarter of 11.8 sec @ 122 mph per C&D.
C7Z does 0-60 3.0 and has a quarter of 11.1 sec @ 127 mph per C&D.

So the bottom two are clearly way more ridiculous than the top two, with the Z51 nestled in the middle there.

Doing some quick calculations on G-force acceleration per quarter:

Crosstour V6 0.26 G
G 37 0.36G
IS-F 0.39G
C7 Z51 0.44G
FTR 0.47G
C7 Z06 0 .52G

So the Jag or Z06 will do nearly double the accelerative force of a reasonably quick working class vehicle, which is pretty amazing.

You couldn’t go wrong with either, but I just wanted lay out the difference in forces involved, and how incredible they’ve gotten. And they’re only getting faster!

Most likely a g80 M3 Pure for myself, and a nicely equipped SUV for my wife.  That Defender has me feeling some kind of way.

Having ridden in a C7Z, I can confirm that it is scarily fast accelerating. Truly the most brutal speed I’ve ever experienced.
