Since I go to cars and coffee every once in a while and sometimes I see some rare cars that I always post up here for you guys to check out. Now instead of making individual threads, I'm just gonna put my cars and coffee sightings in here, and others are welcome to also.

Most of the time I'm gonna be using my cellphone for the pics

So here is what showed up yesterday at C&C

I think the front of this car looks really nice. But looking from the side, the back three quarters of the car is ehh. Thats my favorite and least favorite angles of the car.

The brake discs on this car is f***ing HUGE! It fills up the 20 in wheels! Although the driver didn't go that fast when leaving, it had a nice tune. It's a little quieter I would say than the F430, that is at lower rpms. But it has a more racey exhaust note. Sounds great IMO.

I think the 458 Italia is beautiful ... It's quintessential Ferrari but it's also modern ...

I don't think I'd buy one if I had the money though ... I'm more of a DBS/R8 V10 kind of guy ... Supercar that flies under the radar ...

Beautiful. We had one come to ours yesterday too. It was amazing.

TS_eXpeed

The 458 has recently tied as my favorite Ferrari along with the 430.

speedemon90

For me the F430 is still my favorite, although the 599 GTO is growing on me.

Eoanou

The front fascia looks like a Lambo wanna be, this is probably one of the uglier Ferrari production cars that I have seen.

I am a huge fan of the F430 (The 430 Scuderia is my favorite variation) and 360 Modena.

i dont happen to think it looks like a lambo... i think it may resemble that for people just because of the headlight shape. makes the car look very wide, kinda what lexus did to the lf-a.

but the rear end is simply amazing. love the tailpipes.

Oh God-don't tell Ferrari that you think their shiny red car looks like a Lamborghini. I'm not sure if they'll like that very much.

speedemon90

Yea, I dont think this resembles anything like a lamborghini.

I hope it looks better in person than in pics

speedemon90

It does, quite a bit actually. To me at least. When I first saw this car in pics I thought it looked pretty bad. But its a lot better in person. It still has that ferrari presence when you stand in front of it. Even the bad angles look better, but still they are not that great.


Ohh I also forgot to mention, I'm not a huge fan of the dash in this car. I think ferrari stuffed to much in the dash. I prefer the F430 layout better. The steering wheel on this thing, although it has a lot of buttons, looks like it would feel amazing!

I saw a California in the flesh and I still thought it was meh. The 458 I don't like at all. My favorite Prancing Horse is the 360 Modena. That is what I'd have if I were buying a Ferrari. But I'm not and the owner of the 458 could care less what I think about his car

'01White3.2CL

I completely disagree. This is simply my take on the car and I dont expect people to agree with me or think I am right, but: IMHO, I think the 458 loses the charm of what Ferrari used to be. It is way too modern for my liking. Ferrari was always about making beautiful cars that also function. Here, I am sure the 458 has functional aerodynamics since the car's numbers are insane! BUT it is not beautiful. the majority of people are only "ehh" about this car. Its just not like Ferrari. Also, old Ferrari's, like the F40, had NO computers to help the person drive...yes times have changed, but I think Ferrari has lost its charm in how modern it has become.

Maybe I am just old fashioned , but if I had the money, I would buy a Ferrari Pre-1990, preferably 70s/80s.

Went there this morning and something new showed up I've never seen before

Pretty good looking I think. It was a distributer car.

I go to C&C every month here in Raleigh and I've made the drive out to Charlotte once before too. Since you said others are welcome to post pictures, I thought I would share a few:

^^ baller.

dudejetfighter

woah! lambo made truck, thats new.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

^Actually it's old. They started making it in the mid-80s, 1986 I believe.

speedemon90

You know I've been going to c&c for over a year and I've never seen a rolls royce. I've seen so many other things. But just not a rolls Royce haha.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

That was the first one I had seen at C&C. I thought it was a Phantom from a distance but then I realized it was the new Ghost.

charliemike

That thing is so old, Humvee's weren't even used by the military back then

speedemon90

Yea, you normally don't tend to see luxury cars there.

I need to start taking my camera, my cell phone pics dont compete with yours

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I charge mine the night before every Cars and Coffee. I don't use the camera for anything else really

dudejetfighter

new to me

CCColtsicehockey

Figured rather than starting a new thread I would add to this one from last weekends Charlotte Area August Cars and Coffee meet.








Said he had only picked it up at 11am the day before.






Thought this was pretty funny sighting




Still one of my favorite cars ever and most favorite car I will ever be able to afford some day hopefully.

nicee.

CLpower

oh I miss living in Orange County


This kid in my office is a big ferrari fan. I asked if he's ever driven one...his reply was "I've seen one once"

:jawdropareyouf'ingkiddingme:

speedemon90

I'm a huge ferrari fan, and I've never driven one. Although I would love to!! But yes I do see them quite a bit, by going to auto shows and C&C haha.

speedemon90

Nice pics CCColtsicehockey


I love the NSX too, but not that one there. Not a fan of that hood.

I need to go to cars and coffee soon! I havent been in a while now! My buddy I go with is studying abroad so now its time to find other people to go with.

I went to the Raleigh C&C last weekend and wasn't impressed with what showed up. There was a lot of nice shit but nothing that blew me away. I'll go through some pictures and see if I can find anything worth posting.

speedemon90

My friend that I go to C&C with went up north to go camping and was nearby montery. He didnt know what was going on there, on his way there, but when he got there he just told me. Cars and Coffee looks like a regular old parking lot.
And if you go on autoblog, you will see the kind of cars that were showcased there.
He didnt go in for the whole tour since the people he went with weren't that interested in cars, but driving by he just saw so many things. Kind of wish I went there.

speedemon90

Finally got a chance to go today, snapped a couple pics with my phone, testing it out (new phone)

And I finally got to see a car, I've been waiting to see for years

I forgot to take a pic of a NSX, then I remembered I'm on Acurazine, so I must show up with one acrua lol, grabbed this on its way out

By pirran90 at 2011-01-08

By pirran90 at 2011-01-08

and it has huge brake rotors

By pirran90 at 2011-01-08

But now for a car, which was my first time seeing!!

By pirran90 at 2011-01-08

And of course I had to take a video of this beast leaving. Haha he raised the front of the car, which I thought was pretty damn cool, never seen that in action before.

Wow your C&C rocks!

I haven't been to one in a few months, it's too damn cold to stand out there.

speedemon90

Yea, its pretty good. We will get something special, like this enzo once in a while. But I think the best one is Dallas, from what I've seen through pics.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Yea the Dallas one looks crazy. I would love to attend one day.

Here are some pictures from the November Charlotte C&C:









Mini Truck ftw!!!!...



My favorite picture:



My dream car (well besides a LP670SV)...



This is from one of the unofficial Raleigh C&C meets a few months back but this Countach:



Has Valentino Balboni's signature on the engine:

i just jizzed looking through this thread.

ghttf

I really like that Mini truck

Shoofin

Lotta win in this thread...I LOVE the Porsche 959....One of my all-time favorites....

As for the 'Rari's, I'm into the 599 and 458 at the moment...Anything else they have is meh..

Rick_TL-S

Dallas is only good because of the sheer size & the take offs. Other than that, it has slowly become a Corvette/Camaro & Coffee event with the same boring ass looking Corvettes.

The exotic numbers depend on the weather, but they're rarely above 3 dozen if you're lucky.

Put it this way, really. If you're ever in Dallas for a week, make sure it's on the last Saturday of every month & head over to Cars & Bikes at RAC. It's a smaller gathering, but the cars that show up have so far surpassed almost everything that happens to show up at C&C.

C&C may have had a Veyron a couple times, a SLS, a 458, etc., C&B usually always manages to draw in a large number of high performance Porsches, RUFs, Ferraris, & other classics in the area who try to stay away from the crowd at C&C.
