Nice car man.

I was really hoping the front of the new 8's would grow on me but I just want to chop it off and replace it with the original.

As hard as I try, I can't get that front bumper and rear lights to grow on me.

Answers to a few of the questions:

Not sure what you are seeing in the photos but there is a light green metallic 1970 Camaro in there somewhere.



I have not driven an RX8 since I sold the 2004 so it is hard to compare. I can say that it does ride firm but not harsh.

I had an NSX for a few years and I really missed the balanced feel of the car. The RX8 has the same balanced feel to me. Besides, it has a rotary engine and looks cool.

After looking at the R3 for a couple of weeks the other RX8s just look a little plain

Here are a few of the LP560-4, I am trying to find the time to take a few group shots of all the cars.

that is sexy!

so how do you shift that thing? Paddle shifters? I don't know anything about lambos

JRichter

^ Its a paddle shift manual and +1 on the drools. The performance of the LP560-4 is phenomenal and I love the looks.

^looks like a camaro SS convertible to me

CaptMatt15

Yeah, the window shape had me confused for a second, and then I got to thinking about james bond, but then I figured it was an F-Body....

Anyway, dude, your garage is beautiful - tons of classics, Viper, GT, 2! Prowlers, theres an old GTO or Le Mans up under one of the lifts - I want a garage that looks like that one day

Steve T

It uses a computer controlled manual and you do shift with the paddles. They have really raised the bar with the new e-gear sytem.



05rex8 is correct, that is a 2002 Camaro SS convertible.

The GTO is a beast, 467 fuel injected 4 spd. Stupid fast in a straight line but you could time the 100-0 stopping time with a calender.

Not one R3 in the inventory of any South Florida dealership.

They're all over Tampa, drive for a few hours & take your pick.

I could not be any more jealous right now. I like how your garage is perfectly clean, yet you still parked the Lambo on some cardboard sheets....

What are you, a hedge fund manager or something? Christ.

Steve T

The floor is actually 3/4 inch thick rubber "Horse Stall" mats from the local Tractor Supply store. I was going to be cleaning the car and I don't like the tire dressing to get on the floor, gets slick and old guys like me have to be careful of the busted hip!

Unless you come with a huge trust fund, no

If I was a hedge fund manager, youwould be seeing all these cars posted in the for sale section after the last few weeks.

Do you by any chance have a silver zr1 and a son that goes to baylor? Sorry for the random question.

Steve T

If you ever get out this way just let me know and I will be happy to show you around.

I own a few different companies. My main business is in direct marketing data and analysis.

Nope, I have two daughters, one attends Tarlton and the other graduated a few years back.
