1000hp and constant racing, and they've never had to repair it once? I don't believe it either. Running the "same engine" all year doesn't mean much.

I think your getting the Time Attack and Drag cars mixed up :lol: this one only has around 600bhp(on race fuel).
 
Not good but certainly rare, the Chrysler TC by Maserati. Yes it's an overpriced LeBaron and yes it was in the mid $30K's during the late 80's. Why would anyone honestly buy one?

When working for Lowe's a few years back I had a customer come in a buy a grill. He wanted it loaded into his vehicle. I rolled the grill outside and asked the man where his vehicle was. He pointed to his convertible LeBaron. No joke. A co-worker and I loaded a grill into it's back seat. It was memorable.

I saw my first new Challenger today, in orange. It was exciting. :)
 

Mercedes SL.


Alfa Spider.


Chevrolet Corsica.


And an other Chevrolet Corsica.
I didn't even know those cars where made.


Touring 2.4.
This is the first time that I see a PT Cruiser that looks good.


Old army motorcycle.


Willy's Jeep.
 
Two GREAT spots already today:

599 GTB - second one I've ever seen - I saw the first one a year ago next week in the same place (similar color, too, but not the same). Incredible car and even cooler now that I've driven one - lots of perspective there.
 
That 599's beautiful, one of my top 2/3 Ferraris, although I'm not digging the color too much.

New CTS - I know someone posted one before, but they look awesome in person (first one I've seen)

Why would one bother? Completely destroying 99% of a car's usability is usually a trait reserved for ricers and owners of mid-80s Chevy Caprices.
 
Sure that's not just an Elise with Exige aero bits?
That's what I thought considering Wikipedia lists the Exige as the Coupe version of the Elise, and that the Exige sports a roof air intake which I would think with a removable top would make it pointless.

No, it's an Exige. The roof is identical on the two, the Exige's is just missing some aesthetics-only pieces that make the Elise look more normal when the top is off. Taking off the roof on an Exige also makes the scoop less functional.

Just for random info, it costs over 15,000$ to convert an Elise to look like an Exige.
 
As pointless as it may seem, the top can be removed on the Exige.

The roof on the yellow Exige above confuses me, as its scoop is different than any other Exige I've ever seen.

Edit: Never mind. Its an S 240.

Why is it that you've seen so few 599's Doug? Or is it just that I have just seen an abnormally large amount?
 
I don't know what this is, never seen one before. Any good?

Lotus Elite (1974-82). 907kgs - not bad for a 4 seater. Has a similar chassis to the original Elan. Only made about 2500 so probably pretty rare these days, especially down under.
