Speaking of exotics..... I had a 4 way encounter on the streets outside od DC Tuesday night with a couple of exotics! An incredible experience bieng youthfull in my 04 vert. Came accross a Black Murcielago LP640, a Yellow Ferrari 360 Spider and a blue Viper GTS! We had a 4 way "spirited" drive and I didnt realize how competitive the C5 is compared to the GTS and 360 Spider! The LP640 was a different story . Still, a 20 minute chance experience I have catalogued in my mind forever.....Amazing how distinctive and loud those cars sound. I need mods!

Nice when other sports car owners acknowledge you - it's a mutual respect thing.

I saw a testarossa for sale the other day for $55,000 with 16,000 miles! I was actually considering test driving it but there is no way it's faster than my Z!

i'm actually watching a Show on National Geographic channel right now about the Ferrari plant that makes the 599 badass. i had a yellow 360 rev at me last summer. When i reved back at him he gave me the thumbs up and said that he wanted to race until he heard me rev lol seemed like a cool enough guy. I hung out/cruised with a guy in a AWD TT Porsche one day. Making somewhere around 700+ hp. Pretty cool i love all sports/muscle cars. Don't car for the japanese cars personally but some are pretty sweet and fast. I saw a Enzo in Minneapolis/St.Paul area once and it was coming down the onramp and it went WOT and i just about drove off the road. Sounded SO SEXY

I waved at a Ferrari by mistake. At first glance,closing speed about 130,that 550 Maranello looked like a C5.
