What would you buy? The most obvious choice to me is an M5... but there's just something about spending that kind of money and looking roughly the same as every other bimmer on the road (and there are a ton of them!).

Oh and in case you're wondering why it has to be new...my wife has an unnatual fear of buying used...

Depends on what I wanted in a car.

Fastest possible would be the Z06, best choice for me would probably be the M5 also.

Dumbest choice would be a fully loaded Cayman S, god forbid someone suggest that

QUIKAG

I'd probably roll the E63 AMG.

do you *have* to spend the $85k?

What about a cheaper car with some modifications? is that allowed?

How about a Harley F250 crewcab 4x4 diesel (roughly $50k) with some power modifications

how about an RS4? they blend in though, but depending on where you live, the AWD could work, they are pretty quick, etc....

Escalade? SRT8 Jeep?

a leftover but new 2005 nsx for $80k or so?

I like the RS4 idea; I live in MN so the AWD would be greatly appreciated maybe 10-12 days out of the year...but like the M, it blends...and I have more of a problem buying a juiced up A4 than I would buying a juiced up 5 series...

Dude, I don't think that truck would even fit in my garage.

I love the cayman s but a tough sell when a) it's 2 seats and b) you can practically get a 911 for that price.

Whatever version of the Nissan GTR I can afford for $85k. It wil be very unique, for a while at least, and has awd for winters.

Onehots2k

I second that!!! That car is monstrous. End of story.

Jacques79

2005 NSX.

dombey

not the kind of car you see on the boards very often...but what about the XK-R? Never hear a peep about that one. Beautiful car.

E63

I have seen on of these in person, and they are beautiful.
You get both speed, and looks.
