Your 'Vette is ridiculously clean. Love it.
thanks! It actually needs a lot of paint work. Lots of chips and the front bumper and back bumper's paint are shot. They're made out of ABS and have flexed over time so the paint in the front is cracked and bubbled in the rear. Last time it was painted a flexing agent was supposed to be added but I've got a feeling they neglected it. I'm planning on replacing both with fiberglass bumpers and repainting the car completely. That's a ways off as a really amazing paint job is going to run $5K+

My favs...split window Busthe Jag E-typesthe F50 (OMG, I would faint if I saw that in person)Porsche 356Ultima GTR+1 on the 240Z's bumper

That new Charger should be booted from the lot...
Those are some of my favs too. The dude in the charger had no right parking there but it's an open event to everyone who wants to show off their ride. There's also a group of ghetto mustang owners called "Stangpede" that get there really early and take up like 15 spots right in the center. Some of them have lambo doors and all of them have huge "Stangpede" stickers on their windshields and jacked up chips under the front valences. They're pretty much the outcasts that only talk to each other and sometimes blast s***ty music.

Are you going to CSUN or just a valley rat? I graduated from there a few years ago. On Sunday the 28th there's going to be another one. It's @ the corner of Erwin and Topanga Cyn in woodland hills/canoga park in the parking lot of the westfield mall. Ace2cool, the defender of the tards, if you roll out I don't wanna hear s*** from your a**. Respect son, respect.

I said high-powered. The 944 is great, but the 928 makes a lot more power.
I do believe a Turbo S will make about the same power and not cost you a left nut to fix.

It wouldn't surprise me if all of them were kit cars. I think they've got some kind of cobra club and rally together. I don't want to sound like a "hater" but I think kit cars are GHEY! Unless it's an Atom which really isn't a kit car, just classified as one by the CA DMV.

Factory 5 Racing and Superformance make nice Cobra kit cars.

Kit cars are not gay! A replica is gay, but I'd love to build a Ultima or another kit car thats not trying to copy a real car.

the Superformance GT40 is legit.

you can register them with the GT40 Registery.

They're popups. They rotate up and forward when you turn them on. They have aerodynamic teardrop-shaped pods.
