Id get a TTRS. You can find a low mileage mk3 one for around 55k and with just a few bolt ons and a tune can be shooting for around 550hp. With this you get a great awd system from audi, a 7 speed transmission and a inline 5. You could also go with a rs3 if you wanted 4 doors, but to me the TTRS us just a beautiful car.

I want to salute the guy who chose the Jaguar XK-120. When I was twelve and living in Detroit my best friend and I negotiated with a guy to buy his basket case XK-120. It was in pretty sorry shape for two twelve year olds to be able to afford it. Our goal was to fix it up and sell it for a profit. Neither of had any automotive experience but how hard could it really be? Our dad's had a different idea and we were never able to consummate the deal. That was over fifty years ago. Prices have risen greatly but the desire is still there and I really want one.

[@ThrasherDBS]

Sad I didn't see Ficarra, he usually has nice picks. Favorite pick from this video is definitely the De Tomaso Pantera.

[@carculturenation2166]

Best car bang for the buck for 70-95k brand new is a 760hp 2020gt500. 70k version Faster in the 1/4 in the 10s and half mile than a 95k trim top handling pack c8. And that’s faster than most cars people said. And handling. Plus a carbon track pack can tie a Porsche gt3rs around a track. The DCT is compared to a Porsche Pdk in shifts and quality. Tune smaller supercharger pulley exhaust you get 950rwhp and run 9s in the 1/4 mile and then beat gt3rs around a track

[@wrecked3m]

Chris from VinWiki knows what’s up, just picked up a 2011 CTS V sedan with Recaros 87K miles for 26K from a stealership. Not nearly 75K but holy hell that Supercharged LSA is fun!

[@chipb1193]

Lotus Evora 400 with a manual transmission. With a Toyota V6 that’s the same as a Highlander and Camry with an added supercharger, and a 6 speed manual, you have a car that drives reliably, is cheap to maintain, and looks like a Lamborghini. The 0-60 of 4.1 seconds makes it preform like one too.

It could be cool to put together price point brackets, and have your friends vote to choose 1 ultimate selection for each price point.

Here in Oz, $75k converts to about $100k in the local money and that gets you into a rather nice HSV Maloo (its a pickup truck that can go toe-to-toe with a bunch of really fast sports cars around a track).
