First.... You would need to win the Lottery to get Jessica Alba. We have about the same chances with her, as winning the lottery. 
Second... If I won the lottery I would get a 2010 ZR1, and a 2010 Viper ACR, and a few other sweet rides.
. I would have a 5+ car garage with full lifts just for fun... 
If I won the lottery, I would make my current C5 Z06 into a track only car and have a blast ! Gut the interior to get the weight down. CCW track wheels, Big Brembo Brakes, Slicks, LG Coil overs, Race seats + 5 Point harness, Fast 92mm to finish off my HP upgrades... etc...etc... Make it a real race prepped car.
Race with my C5Z, and on nice days I would enjoying cruising to shows with my ZR1, and my ACR Viper..
