(I'll take a Yamaha/Ford SHO V8 swapped into my Supra with a Lysholm twin screw up top, fed by a turbo off each bank... Oh, and mated to a Toyota/Getrag V160.)

You know what a ton of money would be good for? I just thought of it...

A 7 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX (that isn't for a 400+hp engine). Would be epic with a Formula Atlantic 4AG like engine...

Maybe like, sequential synchronized to save weight and space? lolol I'd be down to shift those gears all day.

I went to acquire info on an Audi for my father and contacted a dealer, i keep getting calls and emails 24/7, it's really annoying.

You know Porsche has one, right?

Sell out, buy Porsche, acquire 7M box, mission accomplished.

No, seriously though. You used a LOT of $ signs. Are you going to use your math powers to make an elite few people ob$cenely wealthy, but stand a chance of crashing the economy?

Edit: missed the hp limit. 7M with reverse that can mate to a 'Busa motor? Do it.

Well it's not really worth it if the transmission weighs like 2x as much as the engine right? That Porsche transmission is probably supposed to hold like 600Nm torque (assuming they offer it on the turbo, which would put out torque numbers like that), so it's probably like 70 pounds heavier than your typical MT that goes on wimpy cars.

Essentially, I don't want to drive a car, I want to drive a crazy super sports bike.

Nah, vanilla finance doesn't crash the economy, but since you don't need strong fundamentals to make money off something, one big corrupt deal can get propagated (since everyone will just go make money off it) and eventually blow everything up. Depending on what area you're in you don't necessarily make rich people richer (well, except yourself lol).

Yea I used a lot of dollar signs. The best hedge fund only hires Ph.D.s in science and has actually returned all investor capital, aka the employees go to work to make themselves drown in more cash using their own cash. On average those guys are pulling in something like 50 million in profit every year per person (200 employees not all research/trading, >10 billion revenue)...not evenly distributed obviously but you get the idea. Of course it's pretty much impossible to get a job there.

Dreams by Akira Kurosawa is one of my favorite films of all time.

That is a $hit-ton of money. So sell out then build a Radical-like super fast, yet efficient, street car (or kit/component deal...).

I wasted years doing something I felt was important. Nothing to show for it now. Take the money and so long as your actions don't have negative effects on the innocent you will have nothing to apologize for later.

I don't understand people putting their kids in daycare every week. I don't even valet my car! Not to mention how expensive daycare is. If you want to raise a child - why not change your lifestyle so you can be there every day?

Well it's more a "I should be doing something interesting that I care about rather than something that makes money" thing. Don't care much for social impact or social responsibility. Don't even care that much for the money, it's just nice to think that you can work for a handful of years and have a comparatively huge fortune...
