Family Car Reunion

My brother and I went to our parents home today while they were cleaning the garage out. Therefore, all the cars had to be moved outside for the time being.

Well, while I was driving up the driveway I saw something that was worthy of picture and I never take pictures.







Knowing that pretty much everyone on this forum is a gearhead I felt that I should share this joyous moment with everyone.

Enjoy!

Nice driveway ornaments, even though they do make the 8 look pretty unappealing.

Thanks everyone! I might have 'just' an rx8 compared to the other cars but at least I get good use out of my car and it isn't just a daily driver. Autox for me and track days in the near future!



ps.
A lotus will be joining the family (once I make the money that is)

That is a Kit car from Superformance. It has a 351 Windsor stroked to 418 pushing over 500hp and Adjustable Bilstein shocks. I don't think that I would ever buy an original Shelby. Kit cars perform better and will last forever unlike the originals that cost over a mill if you get a good one. My father is definitely a bargain buyer. Everything he buys has to have some sort of discount (including the porsche).

Drove the porsche today....that thing will never stop accelerating. It's ridiculous.

No, It's a Superformance. They're built out here in Ross, Ohio.

You would be doing my father a favor. He never has time to wash his cars.
