HOpefully you have more mods than you posted in your sig. Those things are twin-turboed v8's. Don't let Dodge's commercial for the Magnum fool you. Those ar 0-60 cars in less than 6 seconds, possibly less than 5.

Dood, the Esprit turbo tips the scales at about 3050 lb. Lotus made their name by building light-weight performance cars. Still, fast as that car may be, the engine probably didn't make quite as much power as advertised.

First sighting in a long time for me...101 SB between Elliot and Warner, about 3:45 this afternoon, saw a yellow ss/sc. I was on the other side heading north.

Saw a GT40 today...not a GT, a GT40. Was getting gas this morning on the way to work. Here's my crappy cell-phone shot of it, through glass.



And here's a better picture.



It was probably just a kit or project car, and not the real thing, but it was well done.

^^Nice.

I saw a white SS with the S/C spoiler and I think the polished 18's yesterday on Alma School turning onto Warner. I only saw it for a second and noticed it lacked the "Supercharged" badge, but didn't have much time to notice much else. If was so sexy and made me a little sad that GM doesn't offer the S/C in white. I would own one if they did.

That could just be a Pontiac Fiero. There are kits available for that. Did you get to look at the interior?

Didn't see the interior, however it did have historic plates, and the Fiero didn't start production until '84.

Saw the black 2.4 sedan with the ss/sc wing again around 5:00 today, at Priest and Washington. High-rise wing on a sedan - I'm still not feeling it.
