    Very nice. Like the license plates.
    Hope someone is careful opening the door in that Rapide.

    Thanks! It's the 2012 C63 Black Series in Designo Matte Grey. Only 4 arrived in the states in this color. It's a monster and one of the best cars I've ever driven (besides the 458 of course) as my daily driver.

    Thank you - no these arrived around the same time (C63 Black Series around March and my 458 Italia around May) without plates.

    Well, that's hard. If I want big power the Gallardo. My G makes 1130whp it has a full Heffner build with twin 67 turbos. It's wicked fast. Faster than a BMW S 1000RR bike. Also my G is a 6 speed gated shifter. But, I have to say the 458 is smooth and fast. If I want a car that's light on its feet and super comfortable the 458. Here is a pic of GTT engine.

    That Gallardo is something else with a 6 speed does the traction control delay with all the power?

    I have to turn off traction control. Too much power it will overwhelm the system when on boost. I have Toyo R888s they are super grippy and have all wheel. But, when on race mode with MS109 when cold it will burn all four wheels rolling on gas. Have to get tires warmed up and they will hold the power from al roll. I am in process of turning her up a bit to 1250 whp.

    This is a friends C63 this has 1200hp he has spent twice the amount he paid for the car new.Its not often I'm scared of a car,even at a regular stop it cannot stay on traction and becomes unstable.He has a Gallardo I will send him a picture of yours.He just bought the McLaren so we are all wondering what he will do to that?

    Wow super nice! That thing must be a monster! The thing about front engine cars with rear wheel drive is its hard to get traction. He needs to send his G out to Heffner or URG. The beauty of it is it the G gets traction and goes. No spinning just go! I have a buddy who is now building twin turbo Gs. Let me know if your friend wants to talk to him. I can give you his cell on pm. Not too many platforms that can put down 1400 whp.

    I really like your garage the best. Clean and humble. The AM is nicer looking than a FF

    Secondly my 21 hp simplicity sit on mower, sporting the ferrari badge and the correct matching colour scheme
    What else could a yorkshire lad need in his garage!! Image Unavailable, Please Login

    No. It must be the 458 "Monte Carlo" prototype :)
