    Yeah, it was an interesting place to look around a bit. It's been 6-7 months since I was in town but I don't remember it being there before. They seem to be big into re-flashing the chips along with adding the stripes and all that wheel stuff.

    I don't exactly have 430 money right this moment so what do I know..... but I gotta say I'm just a little skeptical of just having some guys plug their laptop into the car for performance gains.

    Saw another 430 today in The Rim/Stonewerks area. Also saw a nice Maserati that had apparently been parked under a chicken coop as their was approximately ten pounds of bird crap splattered across the hood.

    OK boys...that's the Black Mamba's dash/steering wheel but not the car to go with it. What's the story? :)

    Actually it is a 575. The owner took it to this new conversion place on 281....

    Nope, your car doesn't have a "snow" setting on the steering wheel. This one must be better than yours. :)

    Excellent catch, Sir Mike--but I repeat, the dash has GTO all over it but the car in the pics appears not to be? And, as for snow, that's certainly not the norm--never seen it and it doesn't make sense on a GTO.

    Maybe its just the light and color shading that's confusing me about the body lines but the grill, the rear and diffusers, and of course, wheels aren't standard either.

    Everything is completely normal. The wheels are the pentagram wheels that were standard. Notice it has the wet carbon fiber rather than the dry carbon fiber that the GTO has. The buttons on the center console are different than yours. The paddles are different than yours, it has carpet, etc, etc... That IS a normal carbon fiber 599 GTB Fiorano dash.

    Not that I can't see...but I can't see. I thought the graphics said 599 GTO---in fact, with my glasses on, they say "599 GTB". Btw: I don't need them to drive :)

    Vin is apparently 599 base number but with a special identifier digit since according to insurance carrier, when the number was run, it was not in the 599 data base--also, on books/records I believe it says "599 GTO", otherwise, as always--you are spot on! Thanks.

    White Drophead Phantom Coupe, black F430 Spider, and black LP640 Roadster parked together at a restaurant off 1604 by Stone Oak Pkwy. Come to think of it, the Rolls may have been a Ghost- some fixed top with the new style grille. Drove by once, no pics. :(
