i am surprised about your experience with the gallardo.
some car journalist wrote that you could drive the gallardo daily because it had an audi rs6 v10 engine -- can't trust them journalists

I see the potential with your Z, crazy that you have an 8 in there and there's still room. Suppose the electric fans help with that too. No BS, looks like a bit of work but I see the potential. My car is off the frame so its definitely going to be a handful, I move quick though

Lambo's...you know what, I've heard nothing but great things about the motor but do a forum search on the clutches. There's guys out there putting 2 or 3 in ONE year. At 7K a pop, no thanks! Neighbor BEGGED me to take his R8 off his hands in sept of 09 but I'm so scared of the clutch I couldnt do it. Kind of glad though now, those things are down to the very low 90's now.

06 Cobalt LT - Totalled (First car, only had 3k miles when I was hit head on while waiting to make a turn.) http://bytewire.net/Car%20MVA%202.jpg

07 G5 GT - Sold (Great little car. Decent performance out of the 2.4l + 30MPG, I was totally sold on the Cobalts and considered getting a SS/TC for a long time before deciding to "upgrade" so-to-speak. Also I didn't really want to be looking at the same interior 3 cars in a row. :V) http://bytewire.net/carshoot/g52.jpg

09 370Z - My baby. http://bytewire.net/370z/z343s.jpg

Also a C6 + 08 CTS in the family, but I don't have pictures of them on me.

I'm the black sheep, pulling away (heh heh) from GM.

While I get what they are doing with the front grill, I really hope they don't do it.

I like the rest of the body though!

Nu took it up a notch adding pics.

That Vette is pretty crazy... Hopefully GM is still around to build it by then. I read a bunch of mags, not sure I've seen that one before. Biggest problem with concepts, the cool ones don't make it and the ones you think are cool are never the same once they hit production.

That blue is really something. I almost bought a Laguna Seca blue M3 a while back and opted for the white. Reminds me a bit of that car when I see these Z's. Congrat's brother, looks too nice to drive.

Makes my dull primer looking Z look a bit used and old. Oh well, it matches the owner, I too am a bit used and getting older

this is the back view. the door opening is pretty cool

this concept car looks much better (to me) than the $375k lexus supercar.

Things only missing one thing...a Flux Capacitor.

I'll go on record right now that they will never make it. I do like the fact that they are still putting their money into concepts. Back is a bit much for my liking but by then I suppose it could be the norm. Whether you like it or not, would be cool to see it on the roads one day.
