100000 $ to spend on a Super Car from the 80's?

For me I'd either choose a Lotus Esprit turbo

or

Porsche 911

what would you choose? or do you have another favourite?

Well, it'd have to be the Lotus!

(Though I'd better start working out to be able to steer the bloody thing!)

A super car from the 80's..... there is only one choice for me! a VL Walkinshaw in all its glory! can't get more super than that, in my opinion anyway! one with low k's and in perfect factory condition! and a build number under 250! thumbup.gif one day!

Jap car = R32 GT-R (but built into full on ATCC standards)

Aus car =either VL walky Group A or VK Brocky

Euro car = hard one 911 turbo is nice but 959 is more my style i know big Cash sum but hey it's still one of the best cars ever built.

US car = Last of the singray Vettes OH baby

Yes 1989 is when the first of the R32 Gt-R's cam off the line
in fact the R32 body was released in 88 I found a 88 built GTS R32
but yep 1989 is when the first GT-R was released it is VALID

yeah and NSX was released in 1992 not 80's but I will take it as it was desined in the late 80's
Mind you nothing much has changed on it from 1992 except a few minor body and engine changes still think it should of had a 3.0L twin turbo V6

Well seeing as the R32 was released in the 80's, then I'd have to say an R32 GTR... They have to be the best looking Skylines ever...
