    Today I kind of went carspotting. I saw a v8 Vantage on Mccormick going south past main st. in Skokie, then in Evanston saw a DB9 volante (convertible) with hazards on, stopped in front of the Evanston Women Center. I filmed it, the owner came out and I asked him to revv it, and it was sooooo sick! Got it on film too! Good day! (Was a LFSC Car)

    I put up a video of some recent spottings. Too bad I didn't have my real camera when I saw Michael :) Some nice exhaust notes in this video though:

    Burnouts, fish tails, blowing stop signs. Generally being a dangerous jerk on a busy public road, and giving exotic car owners a bad rap.

    356 Porsche cab (silver) on Lasalle, filthy red 360 on Kinzie (I think), burgundy 456 on a flatbed trailer near MI and Oak. Haven't seen any Lambos, or R8s (usually see 4-5 for every Ferrari).

    VERY nice sounding black Maserati Gran Turismo at Roosevelt and West today. Beautiful car! I would have gone for a pic but I was ruining a kid's day!

    The torque you quote is too high.
    The real one is 516 lb/ft.

    Gray Maserati Quattroporte on Hobson Rd. in Naperville. Best I've seen in several days given the weather.
