$126,000 to spend; what would you buy?
I got this thread idea from this. I know similar threads have been done in the past, but I've noticed Car Talk has been pretty slow as of late so why not make another thread like this?
Anyway, say you had $126,000 to spend. What car(s) would you purchase that would fall at or below that price? You can't exceed the price whatsoever.
I'm sure some of you with creative imaginations will make this less fun for everyone by asking, "How did we hypothetically run into $126,000?" Well, you were given that ugly ass NSX-R replica as a present because the dealership couldn't sell it, so you sold it to some chump for $126k. Happy?

Invest it.
But since we are actually having fun and not ruining this thread:
Option 1:
I'd get an 09 R35 can be had for around 60k and then put around 20k in it and make it a 9 second reliable car.
Option 2:
Keep my s2k stock and buy a CR, then go all out on the CR. Turbo, full upgraded suspension (coils, bbk, sways, te37's), fully built engine.
Two different maps; Track map for ~300whp, Street map for ~700whp (drag)
Option 3:
Pick up a used m3 6mt and supercharge 700whp out of it.

It would be hard to pass up the ZR1. You'd even have money left over to buy a few sets of rear tires to break it in properly
