I was driving on the 91W in Orange County, CA yesterday and drove along next to a gunmetal grey/black striped Ford GT for about 10 minutes. Some old guy driving. I could literally feel the reverbs through the floorboards when he touched the accelerator. My girlfriend snapped a not-so-quality photo with her phone - when I get ahold of it, I'll upload it if it's worth looking at. I was in my Tacoma and I felt like I could've just driven right up and over that thing if it were facing me.
Pic finally delivered. 👍

Old Buick.
Modified GMC, had a 350 or bigger. Owner was sliding it around corners most of the day (seen it a few times)
Also seen a red Exige, and Hennessey Viper (It's a 650R, number 6 of 50 funnily enough, it was for sale two weeks ago for $78,000)

Watching a T-bucket race a Ferrari must be quite cool, indeed. Awesome page you all, really cool posts from everyone, very eclectic! Even old tattered cars (Type III) from Astrosguy… btw, your Charger is a Coronet man, 1968.
Rue, post them, do not link them poooost them!

Not much today, did spot this gleaming white GTS near blockbuster tho...
The plate tells me its 1986 so what generation of 911 would that be?

It's from 2011. The reg is a private plate, no doubt owned by a women christened Deborah.

That would be a current gen (997), 1986 would have been a late model of the first generation 911, the second gen 964 did not come until 1990. I usually think of late first gens as 1.5 gen or face lifted.

Hmm yea never thought of that! Its just that that arrangement of letters and numbers comforms to a car from 86! I guess I should have realised the headlights look too modern! Been a hot day- thats my excuse

Sorry for the lack of photo's, but I did park up next to a Ferrari 599 the other day, black with the yellow brake pads showing through the rims 
Was with the lady so taking a photo would have made me "sad" and "uncool".

On the drive from Columbus to Cincy over the weekend to go to the zoo with the family I saw a 427 Cobra...figured that would be the top sighting of the day, but then saw a second 427 Cobra, a Ferrari 355 spyder, and two Plymouth Superbirds (with the huge rear wings) driving together!

Not a particularly interesting car per se but I thought the shot came out well. Press 'Click to enlarge' to make it sharper...

Thanks! Some more...
The new Bentley CGT is more artistic rather than sharp, and I left the Lancer in cos it looks like it's hovering!

Nice old Benters Serge. There's a similar one rotting in my village.
R1ch85 - Yes, Sigma 30mm F/1.4. I love the Sigma for people and objects in low light that aren't doing a lot of moving. I'd usually use my 50mm F/1.8 Nikkor for these shots but I thought I'd give the Sig a whirl as I was getting splashed on by an overhead AC unit and the air was very humid, so I didn't want to go changing lenses.
For moving cars I find it to produce overly soft images and the AF is a little slow (so they were almost all taken with manual). The aperture was somewhere between F/2.8-3.2 I think. Thanks for the comments.

Great job with the manual focussing then, it takes me too long to do that with moving stuff so the moment is generally gone, I need to practice more. I don't have any primes either so low light shooting can be awkward with the kit lens. I know the 50/1.8 is the cheapest lens in the Canon line up but I still can't justify the cost right now.
Just to bring things back on topic, here's a few cars I've spotted recently, although shot with my phone rather than my SLR.
Toyota Supra 3.0 Turbo
GMC something or other...
Austin Seven
Porsche Turbo (997)
AC Shnitzer 7 Series
