Arrow If you had $50,000.00...?

Okay, so if you had $50,000.00 to spend on any car, what kind of car would you get? What would you do to it? It doesn't have to be Ford only, but I'm going to assume a bunch of you might choose the Mustang anyways.. There are no restrictions except it has to be a car, and your budget is only $50k max, and that has to include any mods you might do to it. Be creative!

It's black..

Put me down for another one of these. I had one back when they came out. Unless you've had one, you have no idea the definition of Babe Magnet.

With enough left over for a serious suspension, tires, and parts to keep it running good for a while.

Using your dollar limitation, I went straight to the BMW site and bought as much BMW as could be had...

I'd probalby buckle under the pressure of having that money and buy something like a smart car.

Then I would try to make it cool.

a slightly used one of these
Lotus Exige S

or Lotus Elise S

Some of you may have faster cars... but none will catch attention like this. Plus they are damn fast around a track.

It's just a GT500 with SuperSnake rims and a V-6 spoiler.

The thing you wouldn't be able to get your hands on is the hood. It is made of carbon fiber and you need a KR vin and damaged hood to return to Shelby to get one.
