Really cool collection of cars. Love the history on the Viper. Says a lot about how much of a mess SRT is in when someone in their prime demographic goes and buys a C7 vs. the Gen V.

Yup... super uber nice collection of exotics and high performance cars. I'm curious... no P-car in the assortment? Not a fan of 911 Turbo, GT3 RS, Carrera GT, etc...?

Default Awesome Cars, Very impressive bunch!!!

I would have those same cars too if funds were available. My favorite is the GT-40 Gulf colors. I noticed no Porsches or Aston Martins, ever owned those models before?
I think it is really honorable that you trust your two sons, at their age to drive the cars. That is cool to see but highly unusual. Have some friends that have similar cars and they do not let their kids drive most of the cars in the stable.
The C7 should make a great daily driver, best gas mileage of the bunch, right? Entirely different comfort level when comparing to a SUV.
Great cars, thanks for sharing.

Never had an Aston. Never got into Porsches though came real close on Carrera GT.

Actually first non American exotic was 458, so its not like I have been collecting long. Had Vettes and 11 Vipers, and then the 3 GTs.

Beautiful collection. I love the 458 and the MP4-12C. How come no front engined Ferraris? I know a guy in IL who has Ferrari 599 GTO, and his wife has a 458. They've got two little kids and they ride up front in both cars in custom built car seats with five-point harnesses. (The passenger air bags were disabled.).

I asked the guy if he would consider adopting me. He said no because I drink too much scotch.

The C7 is so high in the rear it looks like an SUV next to the rest of them.
