Seen lots and lots and lots of cars...at car shows that is..I can't remember what I have all seen.

Anyways:

Best of Car shows : Ferrari F40, 2 Lamborghini Diablo 6.0's, 2 Lamborghini Murcielagos, 1971 Hemi Challenger, 1971 Plymouth 'Cuda 383 4 speed convertible (only one ever produced), Dino Ferrari, Lamborghini Miura, some year of Shelby GT500, a GT500 with a dashboard signed by Mr. Carrol Shelby, Shelby AC Cobra....I need to stop there before this gets too long.

Best of on the road: Ferrari 348 (maybe a Spyder not sure), Ferrari 360 Modena (maybe a Spider not sure), 1971 'Cuda (440 I think), and lots of Vipers/Corvettes.

EDIT: How did I forget! I saw a 1970 Yenko Deuce Nova at two different car shows.

I saw a super rare Orginal Daytona Cobra crash at Laguna Seca, that was pretty interesting. Got pretty messed up.

some of the coolset cars i saw where a murciélago and a gallardo
The rarest car i ever saw was a Lotus 340R, with only 340 cars on this entire planet. And it was in the lotus showroom two streets away from me, and the guy in the showroom was really friendly so i could go and take all the pictures i want. I hope there's gonna be an exige soon, and maybe a sequel to the esprit

TheScientist, you stood next to a 1957 Edsel?? Wow, how did you do that? Edsels were made from 1958-1959-and the early 1960. Wish I could do that. I guess thats why they call you TheScientist.

Tons of Boxsters, 996s, and 993s, as well as various other Porsches.
5 Mercedes SL55 AMGs
4 Ferrari 360 Modenas
2 Ferrari 360 Modena Spyders
1 Ferrari 348
1 Ferrari F40
1 Porsche 911 GT3 at the local Porsche dealer
2 Ferrari 550 Maranello
1 BMW M1 at the local BMW dealer
1 Lamborghini Diablo when I was in Dallas last year
3 Lotus Esprits

And of course, my Porsche Boxster S. Yes I know, what's so special about that? Well if you had one as your first car, you'd feel the same way.

When I saw it, the plaque on it said "Built on July 31, 1957 for Edsel Division of Ford Motor Company 1958 Production Line."

Of course it would say for the 1958 product line! LOL, they don't wait untill the same year to build them. :banghead:

TheScientist
06-26-2004, 10:54 PM
The guy said it was a 1957. So I got the wrong imformation and passed it on. Do you really have to suggest your point enough to give me a negative reputation? :disappoin

Just remembered I saw a Lambo Murcielago on the NJ Turnpike going to Six FLags. It was nice. Then the other day I saw a Diablo, an old one down near Fort Lee. Had some nice chromes on it.

TheScientist

Just saw a Volkswagen Phaeton today in silver, W8 version I think. It was nice, and it really stuck out, not to the point where it was ugly, but to the point where everyone would look.

06-30-2004, 07:40 AM
there are loads of great cars ive seen such as tons of ferraris, nissan 350z/skyline etc (the usually good cars) but the ones that really got me excited are the ferrari enzo, koenigsegg ccr and the merc slr (the fastest road legal car in the world)

seen tons of porches, been in a F355 round a track, seen an Enzo, f40, Pagani Zonda in a motor show. seen an original GT40, Lambo Murcielago and a few ferrari 360's all in liverpool city center (at different times of course). I wanted to go to london to see the F1 cars up close but couldn't get down there on the day, did anyone else go to see them?

I haven't seen many great cars in my life, mainly because of where I live. But I did get the fortunate chance to see a McLaren F1 LM, and I was able to get a ride in it. That is something I'll never forget.

Speedracer38

Ive seen everything.... McLaren F1 and SLR, Pagani Zonda S, about...15 Enzos (rode in 1), Bugatti, Porsche 959 (2), Lambo roadster, Jaguar XKJ 220 (sp?), Porsche Carrera GT, and one of my favorites and my friends a Dodge Viper LM Edition!!!

I should probably update a bit...

Best of car shows: Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari F40, Dino Ferrari, 1970 Yenko Nova, Saleen S7, Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 SE, and I sat in a silver 6.0 and had my picture taken for 12 dollars...what a feeling :grinyes:

Best of "real life" street sightings: Ferrari 348 Spyder (seen today, as a matter of fact), Ferrari 360 Modena, 1993-1998 Lamborghini Diablo VT, Ferrari 355 Berlinetta, and I see a black NSX nearly every day, but I have almost 0 respect for those cars.

i saw a lamborghini countach and a lamborghini murcielago yesterday. this is especially cool coming from the fact that the nicest car you see in albuquerque, nm (where i am) is a bmw 3 series.

THe other day my mom and I made a U-Turn at Mercedes-Benz North America Corporate HQ's parking lot in Montvale, New Jersey, and I say a Maybach 62 in the lot with the factory 7 spoke rims, except in chrome. It was the two tone black and red wine color. It was very nice.

do you mean the maserati barchetta? they are so cool, saw one a few years back in a road race... most people havent even seen a pic unfortunately.

graffix o420o
09-26-2004, 09:09 PM
2 sl65's, 3 sl55's, sl500, porshe gt3, ferrari f50, shelby cobra, lotus exige. all on the street no car shows or dealerships

TRD2000
09-27-2004, 04:36 PM
you should have limited that to just the f50.... i saw more than the rest in the last 24 hours.

GritMaster
09-27-2004, 08:43 PM
I won't even attempt to list them but pretty much every car except 4years or newer supercars (CCR, Zonda Enzo etc.)
F1, and Xj220 (my favorite car:( )

You can list virtually any car that's under 1mil, and then a few historics that are valued well over that.

Best sighting...... I dunno... But I saw a Maserati Merak the other day, cool little car, never seen one before. Seing supercars isn't really all that special to me, I prefer to see some really rare Classic car, But then everyone and there sister owns a high end german or itallian car in my area it seems.

TRD2000
09-27-2004, 09:00 PM
i'd say it's not worth mentioning the likes of non limited production porsche, Ferrari ETC. if its limited or a proper classic OK, but not every 911 or 360... i mean how many are there? i saw about 30 on the weekend alone! only worthwhile one was MAYBE the brand new GT2... I saw two of them. If someone sees a Carrera GT, a 917K or something then cool... let us know.

JW1390
09-29-2004, 05:45 PM
I have seen quite a few of the cars ya'll have seen, but the best car I've ever seen, well since it was my favorite was a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 in mint condition. Beautiful red paint with 2 black stripes, the car of my dreams. This is the only one I've ever seen exactly the way I want it. I saw it in my friend's neighborhood, maybe I'll go sneak over and take some pics.
