You have exactly $100,000 (or less) to buy a performance vehicle...

[Ryan Bell]

...what would it be?

If you name something that costs over $100k, even by $1, you get nothing. You can't research it and option it out. You have to choose something from head knowledge that is for sure priced at or under $100k. What do you choose?

Go.

1971 Charger Super Bee
1971 Challenger 340 4 speed
1971 Duster 340
1970 Mustang Mach 1
1969 Camaro

Any of the above

Does it have to be a new vehicle?

Same here. My 2021 was 92k. Add a 3LT interior to it and I'd get it the exact same way as before.

Wise choice, OR:

1) C7 GS, slap a F-1A 94 on it, still have a little cash left over for full exhaust, upper and lower fuel system, and forged internals
2) Camaro 1LE SS, slap on a Maggie 2650, with the money left everything but the steering wheel can be upgraded
3) Find a used Blackwing CT5-V if your need four doors and enjoy beating on caymans and AMGs
4) Shelby 350GT, add a Whipple, and you now have a GT 500, well almost
5) 2013 ZR1, upgrade the blower, bigger pump and injectors, upgrade the driveshaft and half-shafts, spend some $$$$ on cooling, etc...
6) Caddy V3 if you need four doors, lots of money left for upgrades

Yep, stay with GM, default to Ford if you cannot find your car.
I did not select a Mopar, as not familiar with them, I think you could find a Hellcat or Demon under $100K, not need to mod at base 800HP.
Purposely did not list imports, as I never buy imports, not cars, not beer, only Single Malts.

I like modern muscle, not into buying a classic and making it a garage queen, or car show item.

What age? I have less than 40k total tied up in three performance vehicles. All are from the 1960's, though, so likely are slower than the newest Camry.

Brand new, Porsche 718.

Good luck finding a 2019 ZR1 for less than 200k.

Also acceptable: Z06, same year and color.

Owned all the muscle cars I'll ever want to own, done the Mustang, Corvette and Mopar thing so I would stay American and do this:

200 mph in a Caddy, that works for me.

I can appreciate that.

For me… A new F450 Platinum. Probably the same Carbonized Gray Metallic as my F250.

Or…keep the F250 and get a Ram TRX for sport.

Or… A fully restored vintage pickup truck (40’s-50’s-60’s) with big block running gear. In candy apple red with black leather interior. Probably have Joe Martin build it for me.

When my dad lived in a commune in '69, his girlfriend had a pristine '64 23 window rag top bus. Blue and gray. We took it up to Lassen and broiled in the heat during the summer. Then in the winter on our way up to Tahoe, blew up the engine. Had a new engine installed in Placerville the next day and good to go. LOL... That bus would be 175-200k today.

my 2013 chevy 2500HD has about 103k, runs fine, a little dirty, a few scratches, a few small dents, and should go another 100k with normal service.

now....if i have a spare 80k sitting around, and they have one in stock, then i'll consider upgrading.
