Default F1 car at Monza, Cup Car at Daytona, or GT1 Corvette at Laguna?

If you could have any any race car in existence on any racetrack in the world for one day, what would it be?

C6R @ Nurburgring

But, I have to settle for a measly C6Z @ VIR.

Life Sucks...

Good question, impossible choice. Frankly, even the Cup car at Daytona would be awesome in my mind (I know, everyone here is a Nascar hater), because longterm sustained high speed on the edge of control in close quarters has got to be an experience like no other. But in the end for me it would have to be either the C6R at Laguna or the F1 car at Monza.

Either the C6R at LeMans, Audi R8 at LeMans, F430 GT at LeMans, or an all out race '63 Z06 at LeMans.
No, I'm not hard to please at all.

'63 Grand Sport in the Bahammas (but the 2E at RA is a sweet choice too). /:\

A modern top tier F1 car at Spa would have to be my first choice.

A C6R at Nurburgring's Nordschleife would be cool too. If I'm limited on laps, that wouldn't be a good choice though because the track isn't the easiest to learn.

I think that I'd die a happy man if I ever saw an F1 race at Road America. I might switch Spa to RA just because I've driven the track. It would be a freakin' blast, even with something like a Champ Car Atlantic.

The C6R or Corvette GTP at the old Riverside International Raceway. I could die a happy man on that day.
