    A few of us headed down South to Charleston to visit our old buddy CG and his stable of cars. He was nice enough to let us try our best Schumie impressions on the South Carolina backroads.

    Here are some pics and video from the weekend.

    The Alpine edition VT was awesome. I let off at 145 and still had plenty of steam left....

    Love that Diablo!

    Nice shot of a speedy pass :)

    Thanks for posting!

    What was most enjoyable to drive? If you could choose one, which car would it be? TR, 355 or the mighty Diablo?

    They are all so unbelievably different...the 355 is very nimble compared with the others...the TR is a *LEGEND*. The Diablo is essentially 15 years newer than the TR (model year/drivetrain/engine spec) so comparisons are not really fair.

    Since I've got a TR already and don't need another one...I'd pick the Diablo. :)

    12 Cyl torque is so addictive!

    You have a TR? When you go and see it be sure to wipe the dust of the phantom shark please ;)

    I sold my 355 last week and bought a Diablo - yes, it's a real beast. Now I understand all the treads Frank Parker posted about 12 cyclinders :)
