What a selection! Always a good scroll down.

The Lincoln concept is much like the Lexus Excelero (or whatever it was).

Maxn ,that was the best C&C I've been to if you didnt have the pictures people would'nt believe these cars were all in the same place for free .Very crowded also .Watching every one drive these cars away is real fun,seeing guys light up a Ferrari or a Lamborghini is really something.If you think the R56 S gets hot ,stand by one of these ,you can feel the heat 10 feet away . I'm hooked.

WOW- Ford brought out some of the current show cars and the rest of the attendees blew that away! Where else can you see a Drag Pinto parked next to a tuner Porsche Turbo??? I haven't been able to spot one or two, good challenge for today. I wonder how the Alfa owner got the Spider here? Great job as usual Max! (I liked the self portrait on SLR door-very artistic!)

Lets see. An RS4, a gorgeous last gen. RX7 in black with gold Minilites, a TT Henessey Viper, and a GT2(?). Rediculous! And, what was that red Ferrari towards the end of the second list? F50?

If any of you are Road and Track readers you might recognise the Hennesy Viper-it just won the 0-200 blow out in this months issue-beating the Bugatti Veyron in the top end. If I remeber correctly it was running 1100 hp that day,had racing slicks on (heated prior to the run) and has no cats (how does it pass CA DOT?? Steve Millen drove it on the runs and described it as ferrocious.

I just checked the R&T site-they have a video of the run-right about 23 seconds to 200!

Personally, I think he's a tool. He is to car customizing what OCC is to choppers. Trepanier is better. Ever see a C4 'Vette that has factory wheels, factory paint, no hoodscoop, A/C and 1200 hp? He built for a guy and was featured in PHR a few years ago. Looks like it should still have the LT1 but instead it features one similar to this:
