Had to deliver a customer's car to Brooklyn and saw this on the West Side Highway. Also noticed the license plate frame; must have been one of Shoofin's customers.

It was a treat for me to be around two F40's (one stock and one modified) and a Enzo last weekend.

Personally F40's, the lines, shapes, ducts and curves all flow so well together. Also the singular purpose of being light and quick with no frills, and that incredible looking twin turbo motor. There are so many visual details about the car that I could ramble and babble on. I spoke to the modified F40 owner who just got it a month ago. He said it's pretty easy to setup, took them 3 days at the track getting pressure/preload/compression/rebound/swaybars adjusted and dialed in. He said it's pretty easy predicable handling up to the limit. The only user driving aspect that's difficult is the motor with it's 7.7 compression with no variable cams so has a narrow power band from 5.5-7.5K rpm with 21PSI boost, so the power comes on strong and fast. This car has lower final drive so it's rev limited to ~180 vs ~200MPH. Also there's alot of CF in the mid-section.

The Enzo is a really different car. The attention, detail, fit and finish is better than the F40 and has a more luxury interior. I didn't talk to the owner but he came around and opened it up and the interior is far more appointed than the F40. The panel gaps and fitment are very precise, and the paint looked amazing. I can't get into the styling as much as the F40 since it's a very angular styling which I don't care for.

The F40 and Enzo have motor eye candy that rival a F1 motor from the 80's and 90's respectively.

Maroon. WHOOP!



I am 80% certain this is not the same California I posted years ago. That one was owned by our CEO which I was told he sold for a 458 spyder. I know, no one cares; cool story bro.




And then, this one was today literally 20 feet from where the Cali was last week.






Finally, 1 second of an S7 on I-35. (The wife had it in movie mode. ) I'm pretty sure it's not an RS7, but good nonetheless.

Damn, I was expecting to see 1 second of a Saleen S7, not an Audi S7

I need to read the whole sentence before clicking on a link.

I appreciate that Phil!


I was at the Art of the Car Concours yesterday in Kansas City. I only took 130 pictures-I'll have to download a few of my favorites (but not all 130).
