He is less inclined for the bare bones super fast roadsters and more so with 2 door semi-luxury.

well if some rich dude has to ask what kind of car to get, he isn't a driver...so what does it matter?
I would hate most the cars on that list and wouldnt waste my money. I've driven a Z06 and its only fun for a few minutes...then youre over it and you miss all the money you used to have!
I'd get an Atom...or an Exige if i wanted a practical car

He definitely knows how to drive and control a super car; he's had enough practice at least.
He has been out of the States for the past 8 years so he isn't really keen on what our market has to offer.
I think I may have him set on a GT-R!
If that is the case - he owes me at least an hours drive.

You have to understand that an 'economy' car to him is a Benz or BMW 6 series.

Yeah I didn't mean to confuse; he was the one that kept calling high priced luxury cars 'economy' while we were talking last night.
He has gone through a few cars in the time I have known him - mostly BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infinity...etc...

Might be a little over your dad's price range, but a CLK63 Black Series would be sick.

Calling a luxury car an economy car smacks of being out of touch with reality.
Who is this rich guy, John McCain?
So for the $90k and up dealers are charging for a GT-R, I say instead he gets an RS4 & picks you up an STi "for your trouble".
