The choice and answer is easy for me... Caterham SUPER SEVEN!!!






Imagine how fun that thing would be? OMG, I'm getting a boner just thinking about it!


What would you get? You had 70k, you HAD to spend it on a car, otherwise the money would disappear.

I'd probably just buy an old bugeye, paint it aspen white and spend the rest on the biggest, baddest, EJ257 swap I could manage. Some amazing coilovers and wheels and make it as pretty as I could.

If you're talking just on a full car you had to buy and couldn't custom-build something I'd go with a Cadillac CTS-V. ****ing best car for that price. If we were talking 100k though it'd be an R8 without question.

well, bruce, it is already hard to beat what you suggested, but I don't know, maybe a lotus elise, or a nissan gt-r, or a nice audi.

Then you could watch my Super 7 do donuts around your car and still beat you to the finish!

One of two cars:

Eleanor.

or.

1969 Corvette Stingray

Maybe even a 67 Shelby Cobra kit car. Since 70k would buy me like a front fender of an original.
