need opinions for around this sort of money you looking at a 12c, gallardo 5.0 manual ,lp560 auto, f430 manual,or do you go down the route of something a lot cheaper and modify ie r8 v8/v10 excluding nissan gtr not interested in them. Want something special enough as a second car but not super fragile and wanting to break down every time I try and use it
Thanks

Leftfield

Corvette Grandsport - Big. American. LHD. "only" 460hp but good for a sub 4 to 60. Its a cracking looking very special place to enjoy. The noise makes you tingle and as for reliability, well actually pretty good by all accounts.

If you get one from McLaren, they offer extended warranties that go to 12 years old. This would be where my money goes though

An Atom is far more fun, and far more bulletproof than any of the standard supercars.

only issue with that is storing it as wouldnt want to leave that outside the house as we get a lot of rain and bad weather in general really like the idea though

In 2017, you were asking for advice on £5k drivers cars, and hot hatches that wouldn't cost a fortune to run.

Looks like you've done well for yourself in the interim smile

The lad has done well for himself, I’m sure if he’s in a position to spend 100k on a car insurance would be an after thought

Insurance no issue because of where i live low risk so relatively cheap to insure most things
