If you won the lottery, what would you do? By the way, in the U.S. the powerball pays out as much as $340 million, as opposed to Japan's stingy loto6, a mere 15,991,200 yen (=135K US dollars) to the most recent winner.
Fourty precent of which would go to my mom, dad, and two sisters for 10% each. That leaves me sixty precent to work with. Say, in the case of the freakish powerball, it roughly comes out to be $120M after tax. Here goes:
- One daily driver, Honda S2000 hardtop, agile, comfy, lightly tuned. Standard specs: 2.2L I4, 6 Speed Manual Horsepower 240.
- One track-day machine, Nissan GT-R R34, fully tuned by HKS, NISMO, A'PEXi, BLITZ, MINE's, or JUN, whichever ends up with most torque. Z-tune specs: 500 hp, 400 lb-ft torque, 2.8-liter race-bred engine.
- One supercar, McLaren F1 LM, production car's landspeed record holder up until 2002, top speed 240 mph. Specs: Mid-Engine/RWD, 6-Speed Manual, V12, 680bhp @ 7800rpm, 520lb-ft @ 4500rpm, 0-60mph: 3.5sec.
- One fun car, the original Mini Cooper (61-69), rebuilt from the engine on.
- One off-roader, Subaru World Rally Team car (WRC 2005 Prototype). specs: Flat 4-cylinder, 16 valve, turbocharged, 300bhp @ 5500rpm, 60kg-m @ 4000rpm, Prodrive 6-speed electro-hydraulic.
- One traveler, Cessna 172, (160hp) Lycoming O-320-H2AD l4 piston engine, Max speed 232km/h (125kt), max cruising speed 226km/h (122kt), probably the easiest to fly passenger vehicle.
- One un-purchasable, SR-71 Blackbird (unarmed), horizontal flight: 85,068.997 ft (25,929.031m), Max speed 2,193.167 mph. (Mach 3.31).
And then I'd travel the world in these vehicles, but probably end up in a pile of wrecked metal, completely worthy.
