If you were lucky and won the lotto(I think this week it's 18 or 19million) What kind of car would you buy? This is the one I would buy: Its called a Ferrari 360 challenge Stradale. Basically this is a race car for the road. It has an F1 style gearbox with the paddle shift and launch control.(8250rpm launches). I think the 2004 model retails for about $450,000 not quite sure but I know that Ferrari are only making about 40 per year subject to demand. Here are some info: http://www.bullz-eye.com/carreviews...ge_stradale.htm (http://www.bullz-eye.com/carreviews/2003/ferrari_challenge_stradale.htm) And Pics: http://www.automobilemag.com/photo_...ale/index3.html (http://www.automobilemag.com/photo_gallery/0308_360stradale/index3.html) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks like a gamers steering wheel. I wouldn't go to flash... you'd probably chew up most of that money on maintenace an security for it. I'd be more inclined to buy a corvette or even settle for a porche. Or get something custom made. P.S. i'd still have a vl aswell.. and spend allot more money on it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

A Lingenfelter corvette would be cool too. SirGeo you are right about too flash. Just imagine the insurance on the thing! But that is one of my dream cars lol. Morg:A track spec R34 GTR would be my choice for daily driver too as there are some pretty good roads down here in TAS. Hey you only live once so you might as well make the most of it!!

I'd buy all the Walky's I could and lock them up in storage or destroy them. Imagine how much a Walky would be worth if there are none for sale.

Nice car that, there was a chick road testing it on pay the other night, personally I'd want a lambo.. Always liked the diablo's.. However, a very shmick vl would be nice, but I'm sure I'd get over it after a while, I'd get a nice lexus, nice bmw m5, m3, whatever.. Get the luxury side of things covered, then something for pace.

Wouldn't mind a nice decked out TT supra. Then again a black xr6t with xr8 bonnet, 20" Momo Rims of some sort.. With the Nizpro 1000hp style engine.. That should keep me happy.
