what's the best car under 100k?

many people did polls like "best under 20k, 25k, or 30k" and i wanted to know what you guys think of some higher up cars. here are the prices(base)

gt3- 99k
viper srt10 - 80k
SL500 - 89k
Skyline GTR - 90k
m3 - 45k
z06 - 50k
Evo - 30k

i'm also trying to learn how to poll. so if you don't see the poll, tha's cuz i don't know how to do it. then answer manually.

And we would know because how many of us have driven how many of the cars mentioned above?

I personally would pick the Viper SRT-10 though...

I've always dreamed of owning a Porsche Turbo, but I would say the Skyline GT-R R34 because I'd considered it more rare - thus more desirable. Besides, spend $75K to ship one over, then drop another $25K in mods . 700+hp (maybe higher) and AWD

What do you mean by "best"?

I voted for the Skyline... it's the one I'd most likely buy. The GT3, Z06 and Viper are great cars, too. The M3 is woefully outclassed and the SL500 is a different type of car. And as much as I like the Evo, it can't touch most of the cars in the poll...

this is just for fun. i'm just asking what you like the best. what would you want most. not what you own.

I would most likely buy the Skyline because it's rare in the US, not mention fast and pretty

i guess i meant, "what would you buy if you had means" so you are right on about choosing skyline. it's hard to say which car is really the best here. they all excel in some area and lack in other area. i put sl500 in cuz i thought maybe someone will put luxury/comfort over speed. no one so far.

Never said GT3 was turbo , but that I always dreamed of owning a 911 turbo. You can get a slightly used one for less than $100K, but the Skyline has won me over .

oh, okay. got it. you were talking about taking skyline over my car. the turbo wasn't on the poll so i got confused.

i know the market is flooded w/ turbos these days. too many of them

still, i'm the only turbo(non gt2) i know that has PCCB.
