For 130k you can get a Barabus Sv12, which is without doubt, a fantastic car: 640bhp@5300rpm / 757lb ft@1750rpm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in terms of a GT car, what else could you get, and would you buy the barabus over it?? Although I admire the Barabus, I am not sure that I would pay 130k for what is essentially a MB SL. I dunno....any ideas???
(remember to try and keep it within the same price bracket...lets say +/- 30k and the same class of car)

So one possibility is a Ferrari 575 (just....160k!!)

I'd say Ford GT

GT car maybe a CL600 or a 575M

I also say Ford GT if you want a big name car. I would personally rather build up a car. My dream car would be pretty much any TVR with a worked over mustang SVT cobra motor in it.

575M. the best GT car in the world

A TVR with a SVT Cobra motor!

I only hope you never have the chance. Just b/c a motor puts out more hp does not make it better. And a Cobra motor, i can only guess that you said something like that b/c you are from the south, and modern pretend mucle cars are cool down there. And yes i know the evolution of the 5.4 ford and all its variants in non ford cars. But it is still dumb. I would keep the origional speed six where it belongs. IF you really needed a different engine with more power and really wanted a blue oval, use the 3.0 twin turbo v6 found in the Noble M12. I just really hate (new) mustangs, and their motors too.

Oh yea go with a 575M with the sport package and a third petal. Prancing horse forever.

That just shows your ignorance, but I can't blame you, after all, you are from California. The new Cobras are using a 4.6 litre motor. The '00 Cobra R used the 5.4, The rest use a 4.6 litre DOHC motor.

I'd have to say 575M
