    That's correct, it is the Chrysler Imperial concept car. I personally enjoy the fact that Jim's was also next to the Exelero, which I think is a bad a** design as well.

    Those are a homage to the greatest sports racing car of modern times. They are both running lights and turn signals. (Changing from white to yellow)

    It was good talking to you Jim. You are missing out on the world's smallest car show tonight. I don't think I've ever seen a Ferrari there in the past three years I've been going, so it might not be exactly your style. ;) Next time you are in town give me a call, and we can figure out a plan on something to do.

    I was amazed to find the actual prototype for Jim's exhaust. Sometimes you find the most amazing things in ordinary locations like... well a Washington DC Metro bus. Note the incredible similarity in shape and function. I hope that some credit was given to Flexible Flyer for this shape.

    One should note that the FFMB5t (Flexible Flyer Metro Bus 5 ton) has an astounding 0-60 of 19.7 seconds and a wind tunnel cd that by coincidence matches that figure of 19.7. I believe in the engineering books equate this to driving a barn up 95. Both enviable measurements that I'm sure led Jim and the boys at Pinnafarina to copy this superior exhaustive technology.

    Further note that if you will not have the opportunity to get a ride in Jim's spectacular vehicle, one can be had in a technologically similar machine for a pittance buck 25 (or free if you have a pass from Metro) I guess that will be the closest I will get to the P4/5 experience will be by riding the N5 going up Wisconsin Avenue whilst reading my Car & Driver looking at Jim's pictures. Oh man, this rush hour ride is going to rock! I hope I get a seat, don't want to bend that mag up!

    ; )

    warm regards

    Jean Todt and Michelle listen intently as James describes the P 4/5 design process.

    One of many luminaries that stopped by during the weekend to see this contribution to the world of art.

    but I have now seen many videos and photos. IMO, it looks 1000% better than the "factory" Enzo or FXX.

    I guess he wasn't flattered
    by realizing someone decided to change HIS design ...

    Not at all. The Enzo is a celebration of Ferrari's return to F1 Dominance. I was looking to celebrate the great Ferrari Sports Racing cars of an earlier era.

    Ken was very supportive and as Jason's boss oversaw the whole design process.

    Yeah, I figured out Jim was home when I called this morning. :p

    I hope she makes her way back to the Bay Area someday. Jim, if you want to put some miles on her, I can think of no better way than bringing her back here, but this time, let her stretch her legs on the way. :)

    Awesome party. Incredible car. Great speech. Unbelievably generous access to the car (and access to the event itself). AND I was told by a friend who dined with you Thursday night that your family is amazing (and was especially impressed by your older son's utter lack of the pretension and attitude so commonly associated with privilege). You've given a lot to the car collector/driver/fan community with this new car. Class act, all the way. Cheers to you and your family.
