Up to 10k: My car as it is now.

Up to 20k: My car as it will be within the next 12 to 18 months.
Up to 50k: MK-II BA XR6 Turbo - 6 speed manual - with $20000 worth of mods - ooh and it has to be Rapid (yellow) or Lightning Strike (silver) with the black 19" Typhoon optional wheels of that era.
Up to 100k: Silver Bullet - Nizpro Typhoon. They come with a conservative 400rwkw...
http://forums.nizpro.com.au/showthread.php?t=76 They cost a bit less than 100k so I would do some further tickling with the 10k left over.

I'm tossing up on my next car. After seeing the drifts they did on Top Gear, I've been interested in an Evo 9, but the look of the Skyline (r32 & r34) appeals to me. What would you guys pick?

As Bipolar said - to shame sports bikes

And if you lost to one, I reckon you could tune the Veyron up a bit - 1200 or 1300hp should be achievable IMHO

And, given that few cops would really be able to identify a Veyron (esp one doing over the triple-ton) I reckon you'd get away with going very very fast in Australia, late at night when there is no traffic. And if I had limitless cash anyway, I'd hire VW's top speed bowl for a week, with several hundred litres of fuel and many, many sets of tyres, and take my mates for 400+joyrides

Raptors are ghey - A10 Tank killer or AH64 Apache FTW
