This car was what made me want a spoiler. I thought about doing a similar exhaust, but haven't taken the plunge yet. I wish I'd had the chance to buy this car when it was for sale. Some lucky buyer overseas got it.

From what I've found on the net, it was owned by Dr. Evan Ginsberg. You can find more info and more pic's of the girl/race car here:

There were a couple other good shots of the car with the number on the side. Wonder why the first poster didn't put one of them up on the forum to ask his question?
