I'd have an original 427 Cobra.
I'd have a 2500HP Pickup truck, prolly a Chevy, to tow cars around.
I'd have a couple of "daily driver / street" cars. C6 Convertable, some big MB sedan, and mabey a Jeep Cherokee SRT-8.

I might grab an F430 to play with for a while too.
That's quite the selection.

I don't play the lotto. I actually imagine winning a huge poker tournament instead, but same concept.

I assume you mean a 3/4 ton pickup (F250, CK2500, etc)?

I typically play if it ever gets over $50 million - otherwise I don't waste the money
Unless you win, it's always a waste.

My list is much more simple :

Black / Black 2008 Audi RS4 - Daily Driver
Black / Black 2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S - Towing / Road Trips
Black / Black 1991 Acura NSX - Built 3.5L Stroker w/ ITB's .. Road Course
Black / Black Ferrari F430 w/ F1 Package - Exotic

Probably toss a drag strip car in there, just not sure what I'd want. I like the Subaru STi - think it's All Wheel Drive would be great for drag racing, but their gearing is way too short. My friend has a 475awhp STi and can only run mid-11's ... too much shifting.

Nah, I think he means a 2500hp truck. Damn, that'll have a lot of torque.

That's the truth, but it gives me something to hope for.
