    Hey All,

    Thanks for all the complements and the kind words. I am new here and did'nt realize that posting something other than a Ferrari was bad (i see it was moved). I won't do it agian, but if it makes you feel better I love Ferrari's too. Here is my 360!

    Not bad - just put in the wrong forum - ;)

    I'm a 996 C4S owner myself - what other P-Car do you have besides that lovely GT2 I see.

    Beautiful collection of the cars. Do you have two 911s? I take it the 911 is the everyday driver, and the GT and the Modena are the weekend toys? How does the GT compare to the 911 in terms of driving?

    OMG, Cobra! Replica or original? (not that it really matters).

    I suppose the GT2 feels slow now?;)

    Beautiful car, congrats. Definitely the kind of car I will own someday.

    it might not be the right place to ask...but anyway
    Q. 1 how does the Carrera GT compare to the mighty GT 1 (pricewise,total production & power,speed etc.)
    Q. 2 is that a removable hard top? (if so would you post a topless pic?)
    thanks .

    The Cobra is from "Superformance" I put in a 402 Roush Racing engine, alot of fun and really really loud!!!! Yes the CGT is "topless" but I have not taken any pictures with the tops off.

    The top is a hard-top like the other models have (911, ect)?

    What exactly is in your collection, if I may ask (and drool, ;) )?
