Gotta love so-cal! My buddy and I decided to take his '07 Shelby GT500 and my '82 Vette out to the Supercar Sunday spot a few weeks early. They had a pretty decent turnout with my first F50 viewing. Damn that's an amazing car. On the 28th there's supposed to be over 50 Ferraris which I'm sure will beckon the Lambos, SLR's and other hypercars. Please excuse the poor quality of the pics. I'm really getting fed up with my camera's inability to change lenses and it seems like the exposure meter is consistently wrong.

Nice. The Caddy, Rolls, and E-type are all beautiful. I like the bumper on the Z...nice lines without looking out of place.

HOT. The 928 is my favorite Porsche of all time. Supposedly Porsche has a new GT in the works based on the Panamera. I look forward to drooling over it.

The 928 is the only high-powered Porsche with the motor on the right end. I've never been a water-cooled 911 fan and I don't particularly like the rear-engine layout anyway.

Yeah, pretty much. The 928 is a Porsche for non-Porsche people. Which is me.

I would love to own a Cayman S, though.

Loved the VW microbus and E types.
I'm not quite sure who posted this but I'm going to re-edit my original post and put the pics back. No worries. Unfortunately there weren't any old school Ferraris but in 2 weeks there's a whole bunch of them lined up. They're reserving specific parking spots so they'll all be grouped together. They were somewhat scattered at this event. I'll be sure to post pics.

Ah the good old days, back when Lambo was still Italian.

BTW, love the Ariel. It'd be heaven to be in the monocoque of it on a track day. It'd be interesting to see how it compares to the Formula Ford I drove last year.

Sorry I didn't post anything prior. I posted a few weeks ago in the regional section about another more mellow meet in Camarillo and only one NICO member replied/showed. The next one is in 2 weeks and is gonna be unreal. Where are you at? I'm in Thousand Oaks.

Chopped liver?

Sweet pics. Would have come down if I had known about it.

EDIT:MoD- Missed the "high power" part. I'd still take a 944 over one though.

I said high-powered. The 944 is great, but the 928 makes a lot more power.
