Good motivation for sure, but don't bank everything on it. I did ok in school and am doing way better than everyone I went to school with who did better than me.

It how you present yourself and treat others that counts the most from what I've experienced.

This is my choice almost exactly. I'd add 2 stipulations:

I'd find one in black, and install a straight pipe exhaust. This is why:

yah, you just wanted to post a picture of your car and brag!

the stipulations were you get to keep your current cars. That's why i said panamera or new M5. If i'm starting over, slightly used 2010 ACR.

69 RS/Z28 resto mod/pro-touring, something like these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...item256af58cd3

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-...item3f124a51bb

My options would include
LS1, IRS, the complete Hotchkis catalog thrown at it.
Colors would be murdered out black or a 60's Penske Sunoco TransAm blue/yellow "tribute" (no free advertising)

mmmmm

ahhahah... i thought by posting another picture of it would somehow make my dick grow.... no luck.... . Ya, the 2010 would be better... i hate when i have to slow down at about 165ish (top of 4th) knowing that 5th is useless....

If there was a used R8 V10 spyder for $100k that would probably be my choice... AWD, 6 speed manual, good looking and 500+ hp

I already did this poll in real life. A year into my ZR1 ownership, it's been worth every penny. The car really leaves me desiring about nothing car-wise now, so that's a downside, I suppose. Sure, I'd like to drive a 458, GT3RS, etc., but I have little to no desire to own any car that is more expensive than this one because it's just not worth the money to me for any marginal performance/tactile improvement.

Because maintenance is absurd on the 355, I'd probably go for a 1st gen AMV8.
