I'm torn.

I'd go with a Nissan Silvia S15, Nissan Skyline R34, Mercedes Benz SLK55 AMG (I think that's right), or a Porsche Carrera4s (or whatever that expensive motha fawka is). Then I'd just mod the funk outta the suspension, then the motor, and use my own money to go to race car school. Get good enough, and go pro.

With that kind of money I'd build my own car. Mid-engine, AWD, titanium tube frame, Subaru EJ20 engine, sequential six-speed tranny, carbon fiber body, about 1200 lbs (or less). Kind of like a home made group B rally car. I want my money now!

I'll buy 5 Kia Rios and use a different one each day of my work week.

Now that I think about it, I'll probably have to go to the gas station every two months. :devil:
