My mustang is a racecar, as in its only use is dragracing (not streetable and not street legal..........how smart was that?????).
Don't know anything about the two choices. I really wanted a turbo porsche but unwilling to drive 100 miles each way for servicing, so choices limited to chevy or dodge for my street car. Sat in a vette, very disappointed...too luxurious...too many gadgets....too easy to drive. So bought a viper...no traction control...no manners...no finess...and will definitely punish if you drive it carelessly. It's my second snake and at least this one has ABS...lol. Not the fastest car out there, but really is a driver's car. Had my first oil change yesterday....takes 11 quarts of oil.

If I had 80K to dump on a car I would probably end up buying a 1969 GTO in perfect condition (30K?) and spend another 20K trying to get it up to around 600hp, and would use the other 30K to trade in my 06 v6 and get a 2011 5.0 because I would need a DD.
Of your options though, definatly the boss.
