Link to the Photo's I took and the video hope you like them! The 599 Aperta is STUNNING! As is the FF! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.250827704987836.55740.195204423883498&type=3 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk7SFIZp-X4&feature=g-upl&context=G2eb93a0AUAAAAAAAAAA[/ame]
Thanks for the video. That was the first FF and Aperta I've seen in person and they both looked good. I'm glad that Harris Imports takes the time to bring some of their great cars to the show. And sorry Sean for not picking up my tickets, I stopped by the dealership around 3:45 but it was locked up. I was hoping Toyota/Subaru would have their new rwd sports coupe there but they didn't. Also no Porsche this year but Mercedes was back after a 2-3 year absence.
I don't remember the last time Porsche was at the show. Someone kick Strong and Garff in the nuts and get their acts together.
Glad you liked the video! I for one have seen the FT-86 Concept in person and was very disappointed of the release of the SCION / Subaru. Strong Porsche needs to contact owners to bring down the GT! I for one would love to put that on display if I owned it
Last time I saw them at the show, some woman was changing her child's diaper across the back seat of the Cayenne! No Lie!!! Also, why show a car that looks the same as last years model and the one before that and the one before that and the one before that.... P.S. Thanks to the boys at Steve Harris for the passes and giving everyone a reason to actually come to the show and see something unique! Cheers! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Speaking of squashed beetles, Magnus Racing based out of Salt Lake City will be racing the Rolex 24 this weekend, they will have a live videocast here: http://www.magnusracing.com/daytona-live-webcast/ Keep an eye on them and root them on (as long as there isn't a Ferrari in front of them ) It will also be interesting to see how Pastrana does in a 458, and of course McDreamy's team is a strong contender.
I think this will be his first major road racing event. He will be in the #56 Ferrari 458. The Speed channel will be broadcasting a lot of the daylight hours and have live streaming online at night.
From Flying Lizard's Facebook post just now: Daytona 24 Qualifying - Patrick qualified the No. 45 fourth in GT with a time of 1:49.550 (out of 41 GT cars). No. 59 Brumos Racing Porsche is on the pole, with No. 69 AIM Autosport Ferrrai P2, No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche P3. Back with you again at 6:30 for night practice.
Just heard that Dick Losee passed away. Utah and the Ferrari community have lost a great man. RIP Dick.
Here's a link to Dick's obituary. http://www.heraldextra.com/lifestyles/announcements/obituaries/richard-darrell-losee/article_0b5d8b6b-7812-5e66-bee9-d0886623319f.html
Ok, guys. I know this isn't Ferrari related. BUT.. it does involve alot of HP, so I thought you might be interested. I have a 2010 Camaro that I've had for about a year and a half.. bought it new. And have enjoyed driving it.. but just lacked that "kick in the pants" that it should have. So, last October I sent it down to a friend of mine in Houston that has a speed shop. Here's the initial build list: Chaos F1R Package Stroker Package: Use existing LS3 as core. Stroke motor to 429 cubic inch, 9.8:1 compression ratio Callies Compstar crank Callies Compstar rods Diamond Pistons for forced induction applications ACL/FM Rod, main, and cam bearings Rear main seal Rear cover gasket Oil pan gasket Valley cover gasket Cylinder Heads: Port existing cylinder heads Upgrade valves Head gaskets ARP 12 pt. head studs Morel lifters Billet EnglandGreen Chaos 429ci F1R valve covers Coil pack relocation and coil covers Exhaust System: Complete American Racing header system from engine to tips (with high flow cats), all stainless steel Electric cutout system Cam Package/Valvetrain: High flow/High volume oil pump 160 degree thermostat 7.4 chromemoly hardened pushrods (upgrade to 3/8") ATI SFI Balancer Patriot Extreme dual valve springs with titanium retainers Front cover gasket Front cover seal Oil pick up o-ring Katech C5-R timing chain Water pump gaskets EnglandGreen Chaos II camshaft ARP 12pt. Balancer bolt ARP cam bolt kit Cam sprocket Yella Terra LS3 rocker arms Induction System: FAST 102 mm intake manifold for LS3 Powdercoat FAST to match customer car FAST intake manifold port seals V-Max ported LS3 (2010+) throttle body Procharger System: Procharger F1R Race Supercharger System Upgraded 1300HP intercooler Polished supercharger head unit Polished supercharger brackets Fuel System: Custom EnglandGreen 1300HP fuel system Drivetrain: McLeod RXT Twin Clutch GM Slave cylinder Remote bleeder Pilot bearing Flywheel bolts DSS 2010 Camaro 1000HP Level 5 rear axles RPM 3.91 ratio differential Additional Items: Dual nozzle Alky Control methanol kit Tech AFZ Camaro heater hose relocation Fluids Break in miles on new motor, clutch, gears before final tuning EnglandGreen Custom Street and Dyno tuning Since the initial build, I've added nitrous system, full suspension upgrades (new coil overs etc, etc) So after about 3 months, we finally have the engine back together and in the car. He sent me this video yesterday of the first start up. The goal is 900 HP at the wheels. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YojYsgcRoro[/ame] Enjoy...
Hey! It's me again, im already in Utah... If anyone is interested i can do photoshoots!! here's my portfolio www.flickr.com/edgargonzalezgdl Thanks
What that looks impressive. It will be interesting to see what kind of 1/4 mile times it will do. And you didn't even have to pay a gas guzzler tax
