Not douchy at all. Not apologizing for how it came across either. It is big boy advice. If you're spending that amount of money, do your own homework and not rely on people you do not know. I would also make a decision based on hands on experience. There are cars out where he lives and can make connections with people who has these cars. Connect with them. Going back to buyer's remorse where people make bad decisions because of feedback from the internet. Buying a 6 figure car is not something I would rely on forum members to make. My .02 cents on darn 6 figure purchase.

This will not be a daily driver. I have not test driven them and probably will not be able to as I live all the way here in Manila and will be importing the car just like I did the Z. I never test drove the Z and it turned out great!

A Carrera 4s is over $100k.

Only if you option it out a lot. I did a quick spec and mine came out to 105 which is not much more. That's if you get the base model though without optioning it out. I could live with 5K more I guess. But the Carrera 4 is around 90k only so maybe that would be a better option...

Maserati Spyder.

Carrera 4S, though I prefer just the S. Good luck.

I see a prius C7 vette in your future!

zefaulter · 01-02-2014, 08:50 PM

R8 for sure. If you want cheaper, corvette. I would definitely not get the Lamborghini

TheGreatOne · 01-02-2014, 09:00 PM

How often will it be driven?

When I was in Vegas in November I got to drive a 2010 Gallardo LP560 but unfortunately did not get to drive the R8.

I was surprised at how civilized the Lambo was, I preferred it over the Ferrari 458. Love them both.

Even though I have not driven an R8, I think still given the choice I would pick one...but you really want to get the V10 when getting it.

Whats important to you? The looks or performance?

2010 R8 I think is very do able in your price range

Gadgetech · 01-02-2014, 09:04 PM

I'd go R8 or Corvette out of your list.
