Have you considered a Viper SRT10?
Out of your options I would go with the R8 hands down.

There it is that new viper. Pics don't do it justice.
But out of choices and best all around would be the carrera.

With your money and your taste, I'd have the R8.

A Used Audi? Imported so the local dealer has little to no experience fixing it? What could possibly go wrong?
GaleForce, luc.who and Godzirra like this.

Take the money out of the off-shore account and put it into a Porsche

Red C7. Those things look hot! But I heard there is a premium on the C7, is that true?

Umm My initial response would be to get the new 911! things are soo sexyyyyy!

Second option would probably be...ummm an R8, v8 would be fine I think..why not?

Would not do a vette..and the early Lambo Gallardos look kinda ugly.


So, it would come down to the 911 or Used R8. Getting a New R8 would definately stretch your budget.

I would go with the Gallardo.. best looking of the group (IMHO). Just join a Lambo forum and educate yourself on the car from actual owners and then decide

..you need to do the research and decide what you honestly want out of a car:

Do you want a vehicle that people will envy?
Do you want a vehicle that is expensive?
Do you want a vehicle on performance?
Do you want a vehicle that is the best bang for the buck?

With the choices that you've given, it doesn't seem like your looking for performance. You want a vehicle that people will envy (R8 V8 model, lambo, 911 or whatever); get the most expensive one. I wouldn't recommend the viper because the C7 is better in every aspect (performance wise) unless you want to drag race.

Another good option for you to look into would be the GT-R. Your not worried about a 6 or 7 speed manual, so it's another good option for you to look into. The money you'd save (if you bought used) would grant you about 20-30k extra in aftermarket mods, plus it has a "backseat" which would help with the insurance (seeing that you're looking for a 60k+ vehicle, you shouldn't be worried about that). Going from a 370Z to a R8 is a big jump in class so why did you even bother to buy the 370 to begin with?
