So you won the lotto. What are your first 5 cars?

There are about 40 cars I would buy but these are the top ones I've obsessed over.

96 Viper R/T
18 1le Camaro
88 1le Camaro
92 Z28 Convertible
65 427 AC Cobra

All the italians, germans and japanese cars follow thereafter.

No one will probably believe me, but I already own the one car I really want.

Most Enthusiast's dream - GTR (2013 Black edition for me)

Weekend Duo - 2016 ATS-V (Sedan) / 2016 M4

Daily Duo - 2007 Acura TL Type S / 20xx RS5 Sportback (newest model)

I could possibly be swayed into replacing the TL with a 2017 Chevy SS but the auto version sucks and I haven't driven the manual version to see if I'd even like it.

- 2020 ZL1 modded to about 1,000 HP
- 1970 Oldsmobile 442 resto-mod done by Chip Foose, 1,000 HP, 100% modern drivetrain, suspension & interior but look fairly authentic on the outside... Classy, not gaudy...
- 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais fully restored to look like my first car but with an LT1 motor instead of the anemic 4.3L, 2bbl, 105hp Oldsmobile engine it had... Basically a resto-mod...
- One of the "New" Trans-Am's that the company in Florida is making out of Camaro's with 1,000 hp... https://transamdepot.com/superduty/
- Not a car but a Gulfstream G600 (depending how big the lottery was)

However, with all that said...

I could have bought my #1 (and #2 and #3 and #4) dream cars (forget about #5, no way could I have done that), but I didn't because they simply wouldn't have been practical for me...

I am COMPLETELY thrilled with my 2020 2SS that I customized just the way I want it, in the end it IS my "Dream Car"...

I’d pay off my house and retire early—maybe buy a nicer mountain bike.

Pardon 1SS 1LE.
I’ve said I’d never get a ebike but the aches and pains may push me that way one day.

Fully built single turbo r34 1200+awhp
Fully built twin turbo 2017 viper 1500+ rwhp
Saleen S7 427 LSX twin turbo 1500+ rwhp

That's enough cars, the other two spots go to a 30 ft open fisherman with quad 350 hp yamaha v8's and a truck to pull it.
