Next car?
So, I have a beautiful Corvette that I'm going to keep forever. What is the first vehicle I should save up to being able to park next to it (knowing that they're all going in there sooner or later)?
Ninja ZX-14 (Ricer bike)
at least '05 or later V6 Mustang
Lambo Diablo roadster (has potential with financing options, but will be least useful and most of a stretch early on)

As for Diablos, I really looked at the replicas too but decided it would be better just to save up for the real thing for about twice the cost (160k low end real vs 80k high end replica) and a long time in waiting.

You really have a v6 mustang on the same list as a Viper and Diablo? Is this a fantasy list or a real list? It is confusing. 
How about the new Camaro?

Screw the mustang. It's crap. The handling on it sucks. Even the Shelby's handling isn't that good. I would save up for the new Camaro coming out over the Mustang.
How can you say you are looking at a V6 Mustang or a Diablo? I have heard horror stories on the prices to keep the maintenance up on any Lambo, especially those ones. Your 19? What is this financing you see that you can get a Diablo or even just the Viper? If you are 19 and have a Corvette you are already doing well. Your next vehicle should be something practical instead of another 2 seater but that's just my opinion.

Of those listed, go with the Viper.
Otherwise, get a C6.

WOW, talk about a random list! Please tell me you dont REALLY want a V6 mustang! Honestly I dont see the point in that at all, especially if you are willing to go used anyway. Spend the little extra cah for the GT at least. And if your looking for a 4 seater, forget the mustang. Back seat is useless. There arent too many two door cars that are really useful as a family car. Look into the grand prix GTP or something similiar if you really want a back seat, and a fun to drive car (probably quicker than a V6 stang)

Apartment: $20,000 a year.
Living expenses: $10,000 a year
Savings: $10,000 a year
Taxes: $10,000 a year (I'm guessing?)
Car Payment on a Diablo: $17,000 a year
Insurance: $8,000
Total: $75,000 a year
Currently: sophomore in college. Co-op job offer with the fall-back company I've seen in case I can't get any of the better offers I'm hoping for: after graduation, upon joining company: $68,000 a year (then the company has a program which will support me immediately going back to get my masters, so afterwards I'm guessing something like 75k a year). I'm gay, so it's not like I'm going to have a wife and kids to spend that extra $18,000 a year on, and I don't want a house--much prefer apartments for style. So...when I'm contemplating doing any of this...it shouldn't be a problem.
And if it is, so I wait and get the Diablo a few years later, after a raise or something. And it's not like I have to have an apartment that costs 20k a year--there are plenty for cheaper, if the rest of my budget is unsound.

Diablo all night long, but dont get a fake the whole point is the sound it makes. I love the viper but no because its time to get away from the yank tanks into something a little special if you have that kind of money 
If you have $160k to spend may i make sum suggestions:
New Aston Martain
New Audi R8
New BMW M3 Vert - Seats in the back for the kids and you would need Lambo to catch it.
Then again live with your mum and dad and drive something really nice
KOENIGSEGG / SPYKER or my fav Zonda
I am getting made up soon to Commercial Manager - have no idea how many toys I want All the best in your choice!
