I do appreciate everyones choices for cars! Like i said, ive never kept tabs on cars in this range so i have no idea what is out there. I have a pretty good list now and great ideas keep coming

Curretly, i am leaning towards a 2014 viper ta or gts. Im a "no replacement for displacement" kind of guy (definitely knowlegeable about counter-engines, but i adore the sound of displacement monster) and those things are stunningly beautiful!

YES! :D They made a 2014? I didn't realize that. If you get that,I will require a metric shit ton of pictures. My dream car right there ever since I was a kid. You are right about everything being much more common. Sure a "enter a common super car here" goes does 0-60 in 2 secs (exaggeration) but they are much more common. That's why I'll never want a mustang, no matter what series/trim level.

I've seen 2 vipers in person my whole life. Damn sexy cars imo. Plus if you take that bish to Hennessy you are going to have one hell of a car.

I agree that GTR's are a bit too common. I've counted 5 so far just at the community college I go to. I'm more of a European guy as well, so I'd probably go with an Audi RS7, Audi R8 4.2, and if he'd let you go a bit over the budget, an R8 5.2 or a Gallardo.

Ok I'm not usually one to argue but you are wrong my friend. First the trans fluid they use is $60 a quart and it requires 9 so $540 not $60. Next most gtr guys use mobil one 0w40 because it's cheaper then the nissan stuff and it's still $9 a quart it takes 6 and who would use a cheap ass wix filter on a $100,000 car and I'm well aware of the multi pass efficiency test so don't try to tell me how all oil filters are the same because they aren't. Also the gtr takes dot4 brake fluid not dot3 not a huge price difference per Bottle but when youre flushing a whole system every 2yrs/24k like nissan recommends it will add up. I too work on cars albeit not as frequently as I used to and not in a shop anymore and I also have a brother that runs a shop.

I don't recall ever saying you had to use $9/quart motor oil. Shoot I grab valvoline synthetic at walmart. 25 bucks for 5 quarts. 300k engine guarantee. Not going to debate filter brands with you. We have our preferences(fram is best kidding), we have our reasons. My point was more around it's not a special nissan exclusive filter. Like the motor oil, it's something you can grab at your local automotive supply store.

Tranny fluid: Holy Christ. Did a quick google search and didn't read that far into it. I never imagined it was 60 bucks a QUART. I thought it was a case. Grab and go. However.. I've been doing some reading. Their fluid isn't all that great anyway: See an interesting writeup here. Been reading that there are cheaper alternatives, but I'll let OP come to his own conclusion on that.

Brake fluid: If you want to get technical Nissan lists their own brake fluid. However Amsoil suggests dot3 as an alternative as per their application guide.

I agree with doing the maintance yourself is cheaper...BUT if you can afford a 75k+ Car you usually don't.....if I ever decided to do it myself it would still reach in to the 100s of dollars,shit oil alone would be over $100...$9 a quart x 12 quarts ....now my trailblazer ?? I've done everything myself maintance wise for the past 70k miles Lol

I do it myself because I want it done MY way and I like to know EXACTLY what's going on. And I like it. And.... Well.. Cheaper... But that's beside the point. I always enjoy a good project. Couple friends over, play some music, grab some food
