GM used to own the proving grounds not 5mins from my house, not sure where they moved to but I'd bet this happened in Salt Creek Canyon just east of Globe. US60 doubles back on itself a buch of times as it windes thru the canyon and I've seen a few manufacturer plated cars roaming through there, hell of a road. Sux to see one torn up already but I'll bet this happens all the time.

You probably said the same thing about the NSX right?? Crying about a handling car not going fast in a straight line is just stupid. If you want a car thats fast in a straight line get one that's built for it.

Porsche backed out of it.

"Oh dear" :lolguy:

Moar!!! I would marry her do whatever I'm told to.

Been hearing about this, nasty hit for sure.

Looks good until I saw an Alfa Romeo dragging down what looks like a C5........I'll still see it.

Yep, down here they sit with lights off, hiding in the bushes, in expeditions, f-150s and prolly others I havn't noticed yet.

No less than 4 959's in one shot........:megusta::megusta::megusta::megusta:

Ohio LOL.

That sux, if you end up out this way be sure to let me know as I'd be up for that if I'm not locked into anything which I'm not right now. PM incoming.

My roommate has a 99 Mystique V6 that has the MIL light on, codes P0420 and P0174. The car has 81k miles. The shop he saw simply want to replace the cats on the car at a cost of $1000. Apparantly the cats are built into the manifolds on this car?? From what I read though the P0420 may be caused by the system running too lean somewhere overloading the cats and causing the rotten egg smell hes getting. Couple suggestions I picked up are to try and run a strong fuel system cleaner thru it and if the cats are dirty to try possibly laquer thinner in the fuel system to clean that out?? I'm no mechanic but am trying to help him as he knows nothing about cars and don't want to see him get ripped off. Suggestions where to start looking and some cheap remedies before he goes to a shop again to drop $1k on a car worth only $2k??? TIA, Ben

Thanx for the vid. I like the customizable displays and how the nav screen drops down for storage and the aux inputs, clean.

You going to be out near AZ at all?? If so you better get a hold of me so we can get together.

I'd hit it.

Yep, that's it. It had a lot of prototype parts that Porsche used for R&D supposedly, as if it's not a rare car to begin with.:dumb:

959 is my preference, but I'd sport that Ruf in a heartbeat!!

Added a couple more.... http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6896 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6897 For the 2 wheel fans: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6890

Also got a ride along in a 13' Shelby GT500 and this as well driven by the Bondurant instructors: http://social-gen.com/barrettjackson/index.php?e=52&id=21259&s=2

Made it home just in time to catch the last day of the auction. It's incredible, as much a car show/auto extravaganza as it is an auction. Thousands of cars, hundreds of vendors, and 2 very sore legs and feet. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6872 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6874 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6879 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6884 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6888 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6894 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=808&pictureid=6882 Rest of the pics are in my albums and you don't see a fraction of the cars that were there, my cameras batteries were worn out inside of 90 mins. Fun time for sure.

That pic makes it look decent, it's growing on me for sure.

It's a Vette, and thus it needs to sound like one and not a Camry.

"Sound management"?? Because the LS has always been a shitty sounding engine? or it has 8 mufflers and resonators so it doesn't exceed retirement community sound limits of 18db?

Always loved these cars, one of the sexiest around and especially when they have a proper engine like yours.

That is actually quite sharp. Can I get one from the dealer like that??
