O/T My new toy - Big A influenced ;-)

[drgoodbody]

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

Big A is my resident Lotus/exotic car expert and as you all can see, the guy really knows his shit (as usual!). I'll definitely look into getting the windows tinted - think that is a kick ass idea. And yes, I do take one last look in the garage every night... makes my wife go ....

Oh and Big A, I still plan to take a performance driving course so I can get the most out of driving her (you said I'd be annoyed otherwise and now I can understand why). I'm still a little timid driving because I'm not use to a car with so much power, handling, etc.

BTW, the 0-60 stat Big A quoted is no bullshit. I'm still learning how to drive this car properly and it is scary fast off the line. Glad I didn't own this car when I was younger, probably would have killed myself...

Thanks again brothers!

Wanna run that thing?

2003 50th Z06. 450hp right now, 650 in the works?

 

[drgoodbody]

JB - nice ride there, I like the yellow! Vette's are a classic muscle car for sure. What rims and tires you got on that bad boy? And the heck are you doing to 650hp out of it (nitros? turbos?)

[Johnny Bravo]

Thanks bro

Rims are CCW 19x10 front, 19x11 rear
Tires are 285/30/19, and 305/30/19

car is 405hp stock, but I have the intake mode with B&B bullets exhaust which does not have mufflers! LOUD! that puts me at about 445-450hp

I have a MTI X1 CAM going in it, with some head work which will put me over 500hp, then its either supercharged 650hp, or Twin Turbos which is 750-800hp.

The yellow piping is a classy touch

The yellow piping is a classy touch

Yup, its sweet. Mine has red piping - its a lotus thing

Big A - Love it bro! It was pic's of your black lotus and the yellow lotus that got me interested in the car - so I hold you accountable for my new toy
Strange for me to see the right hand drive on your car - so use to mine being on the left, feels like I'm looking into a mirror!

V V - sweet car bro, and nice pic of the 3 of you
BTW, my daily driving car for most of the year is 5.0L Mustang GT, so I'm lovin' that classic you've got there brother!

JB - I just drove the new vette yesterday at a GM sponsored car show. 400 Hp at 6000 rpm, fast in a straight line, handling was pretty good too, I was actually surprised!
Definitely wouldn't mind adding one to my collection

u guys are killing me.

 

[MikeS]

Big A - OK I call uncle! Enough! Man sweet, you must have a HUGE, secured, garage.

 

[Big A]

The yellow piping is a classy touch

Yes, I know I am classy - why? Car came new with black pipping but when I saw it, I immediately changed it to yellow. So I am responsible for that, so me = classy

 

[Big A]

you must have a HUGE, secured, garage.

3 cars and the gym sit in the garage. The other 3 cars sit in the driveway as they are not good enough to be in a garage. They are bunkies, well two of them anyway. Festiva I use SOLELEY to drive 1 mile to the post office box and back and that's all. Kia station wagon is in the driveway as it's used for carrying shit around and it's sign written. Why a Kia? "Cause I got a good deal when I bought 7 of them for work
And the Lexus is in the driveway too (that's not a bunky, but not good enough to be in the garage).

Yes, well I am acocuntable for getting many people involved in various things

I miss that black one. My girl made me sell it before the Lambo came 'cause she reckoned it was getting ridiculous (too many cars in the garage/driveway/on the empty block next door[different house then with only a double gagrage]). As soon as it went though, she missed it too and she still talks about it (9 months later) and tells people she misses it, so there LOL

A few Esprits I've shot at recent car shows, along with the seldom-seen Elite of the '70s. And that's my Ferrari 328 sitting next to the Elite:

I love the Azure/Magnolia combo (that's the first pic). Also, the Murcielago in front of the Azure Esprit in that first pic, is a limited edition (can't remember the name) where only 30 were built. All that gorgeous blue with magnesium wheels.

The white Esprit in the second pic is Karluk's. It's an S4 with a '04 upgraded round light conversion.

Here's one of my all time favourite Esprit pics (I just LOVE that colour):
