For fun: What car/cars would you get if you have $400,000?

Just for fun. If you have $400,000 and you could use it to buy cars and only cars, you can go lower but not higher than $400 grand. You can break it into several cars or only one. They have to be sold currently in the U.S.. What would you get?

This is mine:
1. BMW M3 : $59000
2. Lexus IS300 Sportcross: $33000
3. Infiniti G35 sedan: $36000
4. Honda S2000: $34000
5. Mercedes-Benz E500: $65000
6. Ferrari 360 Modena: $170000

Haha the total is $397,000 but this is only estimate and not enough money for the taxes and stuff haha, this is my dream tonight. What about you?

The top-of-the-line model of the R34 Skyline GT-R
And the new Imprezza WRX STi whenever that new body style comes out. The rest would be spent on mods for those and my current 3.2CL-S.

The left-over cash would be earning me interested which would go towards my gas money.

I'd import a brand new Nissan GT-R i'd mod the hell out of it. (that would be my weekend/ go out on a date car)
then I'd buy something practical for during the week.
like a Accord V-6 or GTi(i'd still put a few mods on it but not too flashy)
then in the winter i'd get a
get a Navigation and put 22's on them with a bad @ss system.

Be sure to save some cash for the arsenal to blow those ugly things up with!

If I had another 100G I could afford a piper saratoga II TC, and fly around at 300MPH.

If I had to buy cars, Id take:

360 Modena
BMW M5
Acura NSX

and Id max the hell outta my Teg.

can't beat the nsx in terms of being the only handmade aluminum car in the world w/ a 11% drive train loss for under $100K plus u can have it as a daily driver w/o much worries

Also, the engine will take up to 365hp at the wheels w/o a problem (400hp at the crank)
