What is your $100k dream car?

If you had $100k to buy ONE car you've always wanted, what would it be? Also, use google images and post a pic for us if it isn't here. I picked $100k because I think most of us could eventually save up for that amount if we really wanted to (maybe not soon, but it feels attainable).

Rules:
One car.
Street legal.
Around $100k or less.
Can't build it yourself (must buy complete car).

Mine right now is a used Gt2 (or new GT3):


Wife's is a Masarati Quattroport (because she saw one on the I15 the other day):

That's easy...'73 RS lightweight...ahhh, if only they were a mere 100K for a good one. The new stuff doesn't turn my crank. To each his own, though. (edit)...but really, I already have my dream car.

My own car with a spattering of Wevo/Ruf/Carbon/Porsche Motorsport stuff on it, and enough change to buy fuel for it for the coming 10 years.

The presumption is that I continue to own my 911 which really is just an awesome sports car package, no matter what the price. To be honest, I have a hard time getting my mind around the idea of spending $100K on a car. It's a car! But going along with the premise, Since I already own a 911, I guess I'd have to dip into my "cost is no object" 2nd choices. The final choice would depend on a test-drive of each:

A "2 Headlight" Ferrari 330 GT 2+2


A Dino 246 GT or GTS


Or just throw reality to the winds and get a LWB TVR Tuscan V8.



But maybe it would be better to just invest it in a race car instead -- So a good DSR such as the Stohr.


... And have enough money left over for a expenses.

... come to think of it, if I can split it - I'd go for a Lamborghini Countach AND a DeTomaso Pantera...

A slightly used 360 would do it for me:

Now we are talking... I find modern cars somewhat uninspiring...

Would I like a GT3... yeah... but they do not stir emotions like the old cars....
And i am 30yr old... so it's not a nostalgia thing...

Gotta go with either of these:



What can I say. I drooled after these cars as a kid, and still love their lines. IMO, they're the only cars in the world that are as good-looking as the 911. I actually got to drive a kit-Countach once, though I didn't find out it was a kit until after the drive. I was happy to learn that, because it drove like a fat heavy POS. (built on a Fiero with I believe a Chevy engine.)

I realized they're both well under the $100K limit for this fantasy, but let's consider the left over cash as a reserve for the endless repairs I'd need to do...

A '72 911E, a new Lotus Elise, and a $20K diamond necklace for my wife to help her "forget" I spent $80,000 on cars.

73 RS, sure, but I think I'd really prefer one of these:
