Beautiful car. Love the ZR1's.
Awesome collection SW. I love your garage.
I see a drum set off in the distance. Do you play the drums?

Awesome man! I think the first time I saw your stuff was with a white ZR at an import vs domestic race in Texas somewhere. Was that you or am I imagining it?

Nice! Love the ZR1. How do you decide what to drive everyday? Those are some hard cars to pass up driving.

I drive a old man SL65 daily, but it does make 700hp:)

Very cool! I'm not one to give any advice, but I'll step out on a limb......May I suggest changing to color scheme on the engine cover to match the body color? That blue just looks odd with the red - - -at least to me it does.

Can't wait to see it once you are finished tinkering with it.

I get what your saying but I have seen that done and I'm not sure I like it..

Have fun with the ZR1! I agree on the C6 looking better as well. I can't put my finger on what I don't like about the C7. It just doesn't do it for me compared to a widebody C6.

Thanks, drove the DSE T/A a few months ago, I will always love my T/As

Funny, no I don't. That drum set was a Christmas gift to my Son from a good buddy of mine, Joey Kramer. He is the drummer for Areosmith and he got my Son the exact same drum set he uses except in a miniature version.

Yes, that was my '94 white ZR1 LPE 415. I loved that car. I think it went 10.45@135 N/A..

Looks good. Are you going with HRE for rims?

What does the Mclaren feel like at full throttle? Do you prefer it over the 458?

Yes, HRE wheels for sure. I really like the McLaren better overall than the 458. It's faster and feels more like a true sports car. The 458 is great but it's almost too smooth..

:king: :king: i thought i was looking at a dealership and its your garage !!!!!! holy crap:king: :king:

That is pretty awesome.
I see you also have a 911 GT3 in your gorgeous stable. One of my dream cars. How do you like driving that car?
(I'll probably never be able to own one, just wanted to know your thoughts on the car overall.)

theres my idol. long time no drool. my friend had the same zr1 as that. 2010 though. just got a blue z07 auto. first auto sports car he has had. he loves it. but yes, the lines are aggressive. especially with the big wing the z07 package comes with

Big deal..... what does Shelby think of it??

LOL

Nothing beats AMERICAN V8 Torque.... then add some handling... and you have a super car. I think the Corvette is the hands down best value in the car world today. Bondurant will make you a believer. Redline it all day -- pound the brakes at every corner... they don't squeak or rattle... do it again the next day. Amazing for the money.
