Also I would add to the stable a 94 B&T, a 2005 Mazdaspeed in Velocity red, and my wife would finally get her Bright red FD RX-7
then hire me lol.

Easy.

E39 M5, dark gray, bolt ons.
Caterham chassis, powered by an ITB'd 20b.
Ultralight aircraft, preferably something with two seats and a covered cockpit.
Downtown Chicago Loop apartment, 1 bedroom, garage space for the cars.
Whatever is left invested into assorted promising tech firms.

I just want to see a comfortable 600 - 700 HP out of a stroked 1.8L. I bet you can you do it, I'm curious what constitutes comfortable though.

Stroker motors are a waste of money. I'll be using my B6. Comfortable is all about preferences. Once you've driven a 1000+whp car nothing is ever the same.
