I don't know... the ratio of logo to the circle badge doesn't look the same to me.

Also, the shape of the paddle shifters look a bit different, too. One is more rounded off and wider and the other is more elongated and thinner.

Thoughts?

Maybe in a car of that caliber, you can customize little things like that or someone just changed it out.

I remember that even for a Saleen S7, they would have you come in and take your measurements. Then they'd mold the seat according to your height, waist, etc.

and scuse me Yummy and Joe? I bought a dat dere Subawho. Them slant-eyes can make some decent cars, you know.



no really though, I respect the GT-R for making the impact that it did. I just don't like the looks or interior. It can do everything performance-oriented well. The only thing I'm not sure about is autocross, because I've never seen one at an AX, and I imagine the size and weight puts it at a big disadvantage.

Cool Porsche 911 GT1 Evo Strassenversion for Sale



Okay okay okay okay...who wants to group buy this thing?!?!??!?





From here: http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...rsion-for-sale

Porsche is back in the top tier of Le Mans racing this year, but the company has a rich history in the series, not the least of which involves a limited run of cars in the late 1990s as homologation specials, including the 911 GT1 Evo Strassenversion.

The street-going version of the 911 GT1 race car, the Strassenversion--or, more properly, the Straßenversion--is just barely road-legal. It's a mid-engined, 592-horsepower, 2,530-pound (dry weight) race car for the road. And now one of the 20 1998 GT1 Evo homologation cars built is up for sale, chassis #6010.

A twin-turbo 3.2-liter flat-six engine mated to a six-speed H-pattern gearbox, brilliant yellow paint, full leather interior (with Recaro racing seats), carbon disc brakes, and a rich winning history at Le Mans also come with the car. According to the seller, this is thought to be the only yellow example built.

As rare as the road-going 911 GT1s are, they do come up for sale occasionally, including a silver example in 2012 and a white one in 2011. The car sold in 2012 was listed at $2,325,000; in 2011 the white car listed at $1,700,000.

There's no price listed on this yellow example, but you can find more details and images of the car at the official sale listing on Trofeo Cars.

It looks like the guy in the... Mazda? went into his lane. I wouldn't blame the Lambo, even though he seemed to be going a little too quick.

That's why driving an Aventador in the city has to suck.

full throttle to redline in a 458 with Akrapovic exhaust =

I drove it 2 laps over the weekend at NCCAR in North Carolina. It was a little wet out but I was still able to floor it on the straight and get up to around 130. The gear shifts are insane - soooo quick.

this is at Nurburgring - but to give you an idea -



Also drove the GTR and R8. GTR is super well balanced and fast but it just sits so high and feels big - I wouldn't get one if I had the opportunity. I like my sports cars low. The R8 was fantastic, even though it was the V8. Not slow, but could have used a little more oomph. I would not mind owning a V10. Handles really well and sure-footed.
