Today's note-worthy car(s) sightings
We need a thread here for car enthusiasts to babble aimlessly about cool cars they saw out in their day...So here we go...
 http://ford140i4.50megs.com/cgi-bin/...0GTS%20(1).jpg http://ford140i4.50megs.com/cgi-bin/...0GTS%20(2).jpg I saw a 2nd-gen Viper GTS at a gas station on my way to get an allergy shot! It was red with silver stripes...I had to pull over and take a picture of it; Even had to tell the driver he left his gas lid open (As seen in the first picture  )...Someone somewhere like California may say "Ehh, Viper; I see 10 Diablos a day here", but a Viper's alot to behold here in Louisville...And no matter how much of a Ford fan I am, I was originally a Mopar man because of the Viper...

A Corvette and a Porsche. Those are the most expensive cars I've ever seen.

Hmm, judging by the winshield sticker I see, they either are on a test drive or possibly just bought the car.
Edit: Fixed minor typo. |

The guy could've also worked at a dealership...After the gas station, I trailed him down a road for a half-mile until he turned onto Shelbyville Road and into a Mercedes/Dodge dealership lot...
Bastard...I wanna work at a Dodge dealership and fill up Vipers too...

This morning I went to college for a while and I saw an Aston Martin DB9 parked on my university's street, along with 2 Porsche Carrera 4S, 2 or 3 Boxsters, a Carrera Turbo, loads of Range Rover Vogues, a few yuppie vehicles, e.g. BMW X5 and Mercedes ML500; also a Maserati, a Bentley Continental GT and a black Ferrari (355 I think) with Irish plates.
It's not uncommon to see Lamborghinis and Ferraris about, and I don't really bat an eyelid at Porsches, whereas in Peru a Porsche will attract stares from everyone; I think I've only seen one or two EVER in Peru. The wealth in London is mind-boggling sometimes. |

Like this one, by chance?
 They should paint a bullseye right in the center. |

Hmm... a couple weeks back we had a guy pull in to the gas station I work at with--I think--a mid-80s model Ferrari, bright red with black trim. Sucker had a V10 in it; I bet that thing would blow the doors off anything on the road. Beautiful car, really.
That's the kind of car you don't see around -here- very often; on the other hand, Porches are a dime a dozen in this area. I have seen a guy cruising around town in a DeLorean a couple of times, though...

 The neighbor bought this just to irritate the rest of us .As far as fast, you might have some trouble keeping up. It's got a built 390 in it and it runs great. |

Just needs a crudely built wooden 2x4 spoiler, and a coffee can tailpipe.

Saw a flat-black C1 Corvette driving around earlier today...Hood was missing and a big-ass V8 with a blower on top was sticking out...

Now THIS is a car I want to see. And own.
 And this is the leaderboard on laptimes from the ever-popular Top Gear show.  0-60 in 2.88-2.94 seconds. |

I saw a white 2004-ish chevy impala catch up with a silver 2005-6 mustang cobra this morning -
I think the blue and red flashing lights on top of the impala helped it catch up... Don't forget to live before you die.

Saw a '96 Corvette Grand Sport not too long ago on the highway...
Those things are badass...

I always thought of GS as being a Buick thing - a step-up engine and an extra inch on the wheel diameter...
What upgrades do a Corvette get when being tagged "Grand Sport"? Don't forget to live before you die.

There are no real upgrades...The Grand Sport monkier was just a special edition in 1996 as a tip-off to the original 1963 Corvette Grand Sport...Aside from special badging and emblems, it was painted in Admiral Blue with a white center stripe, had black five spoke wheels, and two red hash marks on the hood above the driver's side front wheel...
It's only a paint job, but a C4 Corvette never looked so good, and the LT4 engine in 1996 Corvettes are badass on top of that...

Although it's rather common to see a new model Chrysler 300 as a taxi, it would kik ass to see a "C" as a taxi, since the "C" model has the bigass hemi V8 engine (345 horsepower I think).
