Hypothetical Scenario
I saw this on another forum and I thought it was pretty cool. Lets say you were awarded by your favorite auto group (GM, FoMoCo, Chrysler, VW, Toyota, etc...) and offered 5 of their vehicles valued up to $1million at no charge. So lets say you pick VW, you can't take 5 Lambos or Bugattis because of the $1 million dollar cap. Also, be reasonable because you will be paying gas and insurance for these suckers. They must also be in production or slated for production. So no 69 Camaro or Cadillac Sixteens. i'll start:
Daily Driver: Chevy Malibu (09 model with ecotec and 6-speed auto)
Tow Rig: GMC 2500 Diesel
Sports car: Chevy ZR1
Weekend Sports Sedan: Cadillac CTS-V
Trail Dweller: Hummer H3

Superformance GT40 Mk I - Racecar ( painted like Gulf Chassis# P1075)
Superformance GT40 Mk I - DD ( painted like 1998 Le mans Oreca Vipers)
Superformance GT4-Mk II - Racecar ( painted like 1966 Lemans winner)
Superformance Mk III - ( Cobra) Family show car for me, my dad and mom
Superformance Coupe - ( Daytone Cobra) - for my mom and dad
These are kit cars, so they are built to order, and there for brand new models, but can be titled as the respective years they were built, meaning no emissions crap!!! infact they have th GT40's down so well, they continue to use to P chassis codes, adn are eligable for the GT40 registry

cadillac CTS-V delivered to Katech Engineering to let them work on it before i get it.
camaro SS/RS Z28 delivered to SLP Performance to let them work on it before i get it.
corvette ZR1 delivered to lingenfelter performance to let them work on it before i get it.
HMMWV
Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited delivered to Jeep Skunkworks to let them work on it before i get it.
hey, with a $1 mill cap, you have to be creative and expect top of the line in everything. if it's not produced on the 'line, then there is a company out there that will do what you want done, without voiding your warranty.
