    Yesterday I saw a very dark grey exotic driving down Bolcum Rd in St Charles. At first glance I thought maybe a Zonda. But after asking around and looking at pictures, maybe it was a Maserati MC12?? Anyone seen this car around, it was amazing... :)

    I doubt it's a Zonda only because they're not really legal here, though some exist, I haven't heard any in this area. And there are no dark grey MC12s. Did you see any other distinctive markings on the car or anything?

    'Moron: IN BRIEF: One who is able to develop mentally only to the age of eight to twelve years old.'

    Shawn, I doubt that's you! :)

    As far as the Ultima goes, I believe it's homolagated.

    Oddly, the Ultima is one of the cars I'd REALLY like to own one of these days, but never with a wing. Call me weird - I don't like 'em on the Countach or Diablo either.

    I watched that video-pretty cool although I'm not wild about the name. Any estimates as to how much a well-powered kit would cost finished? (500+hp)

    And oddly enough, other than the girls, that's what Andreas likes at Hooters too.

    Da Wings!! :D
