Wow, interesting question.

I have an FD, so I'd buy another FD already prepped for track stuff. $30k

I'd buy a Mazda Cosmo, the best I can find: $50-100k.

With any money left over I'd get a pickup truck and trailer for hauling the track car. That could be as little as $15k or as much as $60k.

Hmm, a Porsche Cayman would be nice to sneak in there somehow.

If there was any money left I'd replace my 05 Xterra with a new 09 4x4 xterra for DD/snowboard trips. VQ40DE is an awesome motor.

Build a lamborghini gallardo kitcar with a na pp 20b.

Swap a 13bt s4 motor into my 1st gen miata.

Fix my 86 s10 blazer 4x4 (getting kind of rusty i guess). So..... i would have to weld in all new panels and skins, i would paint it black with a red pearl when i was done the body work. I would still leave the interior shitty though, so i wouldnt have to worry about "spilling a little" when i pee in gatorade bottles cause i am too lazy to stop.
I really only want to build the gallardo 20b, with the rest of the money i saved off the 120k, i would probably need it for gas anyway.

FD (Fun car)
LS7 FD (DD)
2002 Spirit R (Collectors car)

I love FDs

I'd maybe swap one of those for a 20B N/A for a reliable 7 or a turboed 1 for POWUH
