Help. Choosing new car.

Current fleet:

630rwhp supercharged/cammed/geared etc etc L99.

Daily:
SRT10 RAM PICKUP. Currently at the shop getting water meth and a 150 shot thrown on.


New car selection:

A) ZR1
B) Callaway SC606
C) Full built 1200rwhp twin turbo vette

People have been telling me to get the new GTR and mod it but I am a american car guy. Budget is roughly around 105-115k.

What would you guys do. My ultimate goal is I have to beat a 1250rwhp GTR that's in country. MUST beat it. Leaning HEAVILY towards the twin turbo vette build.

The turbo set up has my vote. The ZR1 cost what 110k and you will need to replace most of the stuff that makes up a ZR1 in order to get 1200rwhp. I start with a Z06 and sale the Ls7 , 6060 and diff. E rod people pay a lot for them. Then you can have some place set you up with a 1200rwhp set up. So the price of a Z06 - what you get from the parts you sale plus the new parts is around 100k for a GTR killer and be at 3200lbs the gtr is what 4100 or so. That is unless you get the Z06 with a lot of stuff on it the price be higher but why would you order heated seats etc. on a race car.

I would pick the ZR1 just to say I have the fastest american production car, but overall I would choice the 1200hp vette.

tough choice, I'd say the ZR1 and mod that. but beating a 1,200 hp GTR is gonna be tough with its all wheel drive. and you'd be at half that hp with a stock zr1. what about looking for a modded used zr1 closer to 900hp (not sure if any would be available though). and how much hp does the twin turbo vette have? that may be the better deal for a fast straight line runner.

if it were me i'd take the zr1 just because of what it is. then mod it as money allowed. but you can make crazy power modding a zo6 and aren't defiling a zr1 by doing so, so maybe i would go modded zo6 route

Yes please move to off topic. Its frankly insulting for someone to come in here in a crappy economy and say "hey i have a budget of over 100k what should I buy?" "and here is a list of what I already own"

Seriously? I drive a crappy 2006 Kia Spectra because I dont have a choice.

Buy whatever makes you happy and stop rubbing your "budget" in peoples faces.

fixed for you

but if I had that kind of money it would be a 2013 dodge viper or jaguar xkr-s. or sell all of them and get this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_M600

best car in the world. built in britain by an american so idk how that fits into your montra of "must be american." I can guarantee you'll be the only person with one wherever you go.

you're not gonna beat a 1250 hp gt-r with a twin turbo vette. all wheel drive will kill you every time if he gets a good launch.
