This is actually a real Cobra






apparently this Lambo is for me....

















This 599 drives well. Wasn't able to smash on it like the R35 a few months ago but still magnificent.









and of course; obligatory:

SPOILER

Family friend's 32

sadly ran out of battery power before I could take a shot of the Ferrari California.

The F40 is amazing looking as alway (I have a soft spot for those) and the R32s looks wonderful! I like the Qvale Mangusta, I have only seen one in real life. Infact, thats the first time one has even appeared in a pic since I saw that car. Not that I see F40s/599GTBs ect all the time or anything.

EDIT: I totally missed the M12 in the pic, wonderful looking car!

I like the blue one, it just needs a color matched lip and it sits wayyy to high.

Only cars I liked were the BMWs,the SLR,599,the blue 32,and the black 360 Spider in the 2nd Lambo pic
The rest......really dont like

I wish we had car shows like this in Texas

Only ones we have are American classics,and they either consist of very few cars in total,or very few pristine condition cars,the rest being rusty,beat up,etc.

yes because the silver 32 is so different from the blue one to really hate it that much more than the blue. lol

Deeeee-nied! That was a little cold though, you cant respect a Vspec-II Air23? It does look alot better then the blue one in my honest opinion.

LOVING the Ferrari's and the M3's also the cobra sick sick car. nice pic keep them coming!

I'll never completely understand you stance nazis....

I agree as well

I like it,but te blue one looks better
I like darker colors better on R32s anyway,like Nakazatos in ID

Anyway,heres some I took today
Very crappy pic of a Maserati Quattroporte.Its in front of the Infiniti crossover.It caught me off gaurd .It was passing by when I got my phone out to call someone,then it was even with the Infiniti when the camera was on,so i had to zoom in,which took forever........... .So there you go

Then I think this is an older BMW M3,not too sure.It did have the M badge on there

I also saw an Impreza STI,Porsche Boxster,another Quattroporte,and a Bentley Continental.
3 of those were on the other side of the freeway.I saw the Bentley stopped behind a car at a red light when I was turning left
I dont usually post wrecks I see......but this one in Burleson,which i watched happen in front of me,involved an RX8
A Tahoe was changing lanes and didnt see the RX8,and bumped into it,causing it to spin out and hit the barrier
Front end was moderately smashed in,and the 8 was turned around on the NB shoulder.The Tahoe that caused the wreck.......not much damage at all

There's nothing wrong with liking the blue 32 (I just commented because you said you really didn't like the others in the lineup). Everyone has different taste. That car is fast and there's a decent non adjustable suspension package on it. However BMW Neo and I appreciate the effort that goes into making a car both perform and look aggressive. When it looks more seamless. We appreciate the math and subtle suspension geometry adjustments it takes to daily drive without any rubbing. There's a different type of dedication that goes into that than simply preparing the car for racing (although proper set up involves that too). You can have a discordant mess of a car aesthetically but be properly set up to run fast but then what was the point of using a nice car in the first place? We feel you can't just be all show and you can't just be all racing; There's a happy balance. It should be fairly obvious that it's not always an inversely proportional relationship. Although BMW Neo being the wheel guy will opt for a more extreme measure; I tend to agree within moderation- there is definitely a different feeling when driving a properly lowered car at speed and cornering. Done right, there's no rubbing and less slop in the steering response. Aesthetics and the seamless look are a secondary bonus of doing this. The challenge comes in when factoring daily driveability. But even in the most messed up LA streets, it's not that hard.

The Blue 32's owner actually thinks his wheels were in poor taste and is looking for new ones. His friend got them for him and he was too cheap to get new ones. I'm trying to help him out. But no matter how many times I bring up lowering the car as an option... well he's an older gentleman and like most older gentlemen with these cars he's not too keen on lowering from fear of bottoming out. I'll help him pick some proper, tasteful and aggressive wheels and work from there..

Let me guess, Cars and Coffee meet?

As for Air23, I'm sure there're plenty of cars like that around the DFW area. Go to the Dallas Cars and Coffee next month. This month's was last Saturday.

Heard about it and i wanted to go but meh... . Anyway here is the link for the photos that were taken in the event .

Hmmmm......never knew about that
But in those pics,I saw a white R35........same one I posted earlier?

But,heck,this was up in and around Grapevine and DFW Intl.,Im not up there too often,which explains how I only have 1000km on an E9 card that ive had since March

Put some 16 x 8s at stock ride height and tell me that looks better than this:

Oddmanout - BMWNeotype has got a point, and Im sorry to say but the Z shown has the 'seamless' look that The J was trying to describe.

the bmw's above are hot!!!

Seamless is just a opinion and like all opinions not everyone has the same taste.

Agreed

Ditto. Opinions are just opinions, but there is taste involved.

Also mathematical formulas have been used one example would have to be the golden ratio.
