Yeah, I was going to ask if they were affiliated with Foreign Cars Italia. Been there several times.

I was amazed to see that they were blocking off the entrance to the parking lot after closing with a really nice Saleen last time I was there. That must have been what they considered to be worthy of sacrificing to save the horses.

They, of course, had plenty of beautiful exotics. I'd like to go back soon.

They had several cars on display at VIR for Big Kahuna when I was there last. They had an Aston Martin Vantage, F430 (I think), and a Maserati GranTurismo. That's to the best of my recollection, but regardless, they were beautiful cars.

 

Damn, they have a mint GT500 for over $500k... and a C6 Z06 for less than $50k.

I wouldn't mind picking up the Bentley Arnage.

 

ChaCHING! F430 Berlinetta.

 

Holy crap... my dad and I were looking at that mustang. There are no prices on the cars in the showrooms. It's not an original car... it's some kind of pro-touring modernized car. I wonder if it's something Shelby Makes. It'd have to be to fetch that kind of price.

 

Brian,

It's not at all out of reach for you to step into a Ferrari and out of a couple of Corvettes...



$59,900. There are very few Ferrari's that I wouldn't buy if they were obtainable, but there are very few that are even somewhat within reach.

Edit -> I think they've had this exact car for several years actually. I'm pretty sure I have a picture of me standing next to this car from 5+ years ago. I wouldn't doubt it.

 

Yup! Did you notice the powered seats?

Very cool car. I'd have a tough decision deciding between a Carerra GT and a GT500 like that one if I only had about $500k to spend on a car. In fact, I wouldn't want to have to pick. The GT500 has a very specific target market, but how can you now be in total awe of that car?

 

Anyone can buy a Ferrari, but not many can afford to keep it.

 

Can't argue with that. Well, I can, but I won't. I know the price tag is the least expensive overall cost when it comes to an exotic.

Remember the guy from Qatar that flew his Lamborghini over to the UK to have his oil changed?

I wish I could afford to daily drive an exotic and drive the ever living piss out if it every where I went. VRAlexander beating the hell out of his CGT makes me jealous!

 

Herein lies the problem... the service bills on the pre 360 cars are crazy. The 360 is the first one that can have the timing belt swapped w/ the engine in the car and the 430 is the first w/ chain timing. Plus to keep any value in the cars you need to have them serviced at a proper Ferrari dealer/service center so you can keep up your log book.
I did... what the heck is it... what makes it so valuable? It looks like a cool hot rodded mustang to me... nothing is original Shelby that I can see. It has a Roush motor in it, Auto Meter gauges, power seats etc etc.

 

I don't know, but I'd look for that car on Barrett Jackson one day. I know the price seems outrageous, but I'm quite sure there's someone out there that wouldn't hesitate to write a check for it. In fact, I predict there would be a few people engaging in a bidding war over it.

I bet there isn't so much as a single imperfection anywhere on it. I'm not sure what makes it worth so much, but I'm sure nothing was overlooked on it. It looks like a brand new car.
