I'd get the McLaren, drive the shit out of it for a few weeks. Then sell it and buy:
'02 R1
a boss 429 for my '69 Mach1
65 convertable GTO
68 Chevelle SS
A Viper, so I could crash the overpriced peice of shit and laugh about it.
'57 Bel Air
428 SC Cobra with the sig on the glove box
and a house

Yenko produced the 427 Nova in 1969 only. There were around thirty built with only seven or eight that are accounted for today. This is the very first one produced.
This 1969 Yenko Nova was a car described by Don Yenko in one of his last interviews as “a beast, almost lethal, a car that they should not have produced; as they were skirting the edge of product liability when they built this car”. The Nova was not a COPO high performance 427 motor from the factory. It was built with a transplanted 427 motor as Yenko did with the 1967 and 1968 Camaros.
Although GM put factory 427s in Camaro’s and Chevelles, it is known that the GM factory apparently would not put a COPO 427 motor in a Nova. Why not? The most obvious reason would be just as Don Yenko describes himself; using the word “lethal”, and a matter of liability. The body weight of the Nova was less than that of a Corvette. Stuffing a high performance L72 427 Corvette motor in a car of less body weight certainly had to result in tire-smoking performance. The Yenko Nova featured here has turned elapsed times of 10.90’s in the quarter mile. Of course it was with racing slicks, but few other modifications were necessary.
This Nova left the factory with a 396/375 HP, Muncie 4-speed, 4.11 12-bolt positraction, and power front disc brakes. It is Garnet Red with standard black vinyl trim. It was destined to be raced so it was ordered very basic, radio-delete, etc, having no comfort options which would have been just added weight to slow the car down. Yenko did their magic with transplanting the L72 427, Stewart Warner column mounted tach, SYC graphics and other high performance modifications. It would be safe to bet that since this was the first 427 Nova, it was built with an extra level of performance in mind.

Reasonably priced?
I got my '94 Z-28 for $10,250, and put another $10k into it, putting it over 400hp which would toast the Cobra R's mere 385. If I don't sell it, I'm going to supercharge it(which would still be 1/2 the mustang's price), and make the yuppies that drive those things cry.

I know if anyone has test driven one, they would have put it down too.
2002 Porsche Turbo 911
But if i had to pick something that I have a half decent chance of buying, it would have to be a 2001 BMW M3 coupe. Absolutely the most gorgeous car within 40k of its pricetag. Metallic blue would be perfect.

I'd call up Chevy and have them make me a car that resembled the Ferrari F40 in an off way, black on black, 20" chrome wheels with that new prototype Cadillac V12 engine.
Shit like that actually happens. Baby from the Big Tymers called up Mercedes and had them make him a "B14", cost him $1,125,000 and has a drivers seat in the middle of the car.

Brother.. even though the image did not work.. I hear you.. but you do not need to spend you wish on that one. That is just a given... I think every male born between 1961 and 1979 wishes for that car.

Manny, you are goood! It's actually a picture of a 69 Volvo P1800, but I was referring to Irv Gordon's '66 Volvo with over 2 million miles!
Ok dballer, hit me with your best shot. I know you are just dying to tease me about wanting a Volvo...
