^ Definitely the GTX1 looks like it belongs as a production convertible a la Carrera GT.

I also wonder if that CHP Cayman is real or just a promotional thing? It would be pretty cool .

Speaking of which, is the the one that was down in Monterey? Because I thought tickets were more expensive than that?

Nice photos i'm a bit suprised they let in a DeLorean hehe. Any more shots of the IMSA March Chevrolet? what year is it?

It is called the Ford GT X-1 ... I saw the same car in the Houston Autoshow earlier this year (http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...hlight=houston). The car was on display by a private firm that does the customization and not in the main Ford booth. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/?storyId=12302

Actually thats not the one. Its the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
http://www.pebblebeachconcours.net/
The Lamborghini Espada owner told me it was "The Show" which is probably why its costs $150 to get in

The CLS55 AMG looks great with those black rims. Gangsta style !!

Ah I see. . . Yeah I thought this was the one that was @ Pebble. Nevertheless it looks like that was a great showing!

Yup, this one was at Stanford University. Even though its summer I still caught some students getting a head start on projects.

BTW I still have some more pics but mostly of the same cars. For example the Delorean, Ferrari F60, Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, and so on. Just ask and who knows, I may have some.

Poof! An F430 Spider

Poof! A 355 Spider

Poof! Another Tesatrossa

I fixed up this shot of the silver 250. Think this would be good for the competition?

Oh and I found two more pics of the 400GT. I lost them for a while lol

[TT]

HAHA, thanks for the custom plate on the 400GT

and ok for the 250 and the contest

Cool, unless you or anyone else has any better suggestions. I want this to be the best of the bunch.

[Wutputt]

Awesome event. A lot of beauties together. I especially like the green(?) 300 SL and the red 959. Thanks for sharing these pics.

[MidEngine4Life]

So would everyone agree the Ferrari 250 GTE is the best of the bunch? Picture wise?


Personally I think the car is a bit dull, but TT seems to like it
Im just wondering if maybe I should use a picture with a more desirable car for the competition
