Post some pics when he gets it.

He's thinking white with the carbon fiber blade. Gunmetal or Black wheels and all the exterior pieces such as the grill and vents will also be done in carbon fiber. Give it that monochrome look. There are few cars I like in white but, Porsche's, the Gallardo and the R8 all look good in white. He's not a fan of black cars as they tend to hide the bodylines and who wants to do that.

I think for what he wanted he got a good deal. If I wanted a super race car, Id get the CGT, its the balls. But if I wanted a sweet fast ride I would get those cars. Very nice, im just surprised your dad doesnt have a dedicated race car.

hmm....dedicated race car you say..
89' 3.2L, roll cage, racing seats, completely gutted. The engine just got a full rebuild. They bought the car from some guy in Houston. He is part owner with our Porsche body man being the other, couldn't have picked a better person to buy a race car with.
They said I could run it around the track at the upcoming OctoberFast. I think I'll take them up on the offer.

great call on the Ford....ha....you will rarely here those words come out of my mouth....I think its a great car, I am guessing he didn't get the Mach 5 looking paint job, too bad, I do have a soft spot for it....
I can't say I like anything about the audi, a fan of the CGT but in the end...he's got 2 great cars....instead of 1 great ca....and if his heart wasn't sold on the CGT, then he's winning by buying what HE wants.....post pics!

YellowBox, I can't saw I would have done the same with that money, but I've never had that much money to spend on cars. I do like both the R8 and the FGT, both sexy cars at the opposite end of the looks spectrum.
I think he made a good choice.

Absolutely the most kick ass sounding car I've heard. The sound is absolutely intoxicating.

Which is more to the point. Why buy more of the same? It's time to step it up to the next level.

On a side note, what i am really anxious for is the enzo my dad ordered in may and is due to arrive in a couple of weeks after i broke his mclaren f1's engine last summer on a crazy graduation celebration (whoops!) hehe...

Well, my dad has a 98 Volvo. Sometimes I even get to drive it. I know, I know, you are all jealous.

The phrase "more money than sense" pops into my head for some reason.
And who says the $3.17 a gallon we are paying for gas isn't going to a good cause.
