I didn't know where to put this thread, so it's now here. (mods, feel free to move as necessary). So, McLaren has today announced what will likely be its competitor in the GTE class at LeMans. A modified 650S Long Tail. Pricing to be about 400,000 quid. Makes me note three points: 1...

I've figured out what they should call the new GT, given that they've all been "NAMED" "GT", but the original was dubbed the "GT40" and ours dubbed the "GT", the new one should be dubbed "GT-E" or "GTE". Both for the 'eco-boost' engine, as well as the racing class at LeMans it'll most likely...

And doesn't it look GLORIOUS in Heritage..... http://www.carthrottle.com/post/this-is-how-awesome-the-new-ford-gt-would-look-with-a-gulf-livery/ Although as a proper homage to the original, the number should be 50.

I can't wait for his review (he's suggesting it's not til next week?), but in the interim, he gave us this. And it's almost as good as watching the vid. The man can drive, and the man can write. I was enthralled reading it. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=29402

Not a huge Jalop fan, but this is exciting news, GO LIKE HELL might be made into a movie!!! Not sure how you feel about Tom Cruise (but Top Gun was fun), but GT40's and LeMans!!! http://jalopnik.com/tom-cruise-could-play-carroll-shelby-in-the-movie-of-go-1451587424

The ROFGO GULF collection will be displayed at Spa 24 hours race in August. Cool stuff. http://www.blancpain-endurance-series.com/news/details/rare-chance-to-see-rofgo-gulf-collection-at-spa

We had a charity event here this past weekend. With the generous support of a LOT of drivers, we raised a quarter mill for two local sick kids charities. Easily 45 cars, with the majority being Ferrari 458's and Lambo Gallardo's. There were probably 15 Ferrari's AND 15 Lamborghini's in total...

eventually, you might see a car. Wonder whose it is and why they didn't tell us about the shoot. If you hunt out the website (and I'm not suggesting it would be hard to find, look in the bottom right of the pictures - haha), you'll find some NSFW pics (with the car of course) too. :thumbsup

And besides the smoking deals on the Alfa and also the Bond Aston (with working 007 gear), take a look at that little gem in the bottom right hand corner..... Feb 1971. Need a time machine.

So, I saw a piece of art that was done for Ron Dennis at McLaren with the introduction of the McLaren 12C some time ago. A single silhouette strip done to evoke the shape of the car, fullly wrapped in Carbon Fiber. Beautiful. I then contacted the broker to see if the artist would commission...

Not sure if Rhys Millen is related to the Stillen guys, but he's in here demonstrating some amazing drift control at ~3:50. It's worth a watch. The whole thing is. Enjoy the Rube Goldberg experience as envisaged by Red Bull. :thumbsup...

8.3 seconds. 181 mph. In a QUARTER MILE!!! Wow. http://youtu.be/SZZvpXHcKSM

Custom? Yes, they do custom. Here's my set for my Heritage GT. SWEET!!!!! Thanks to CanadianCobra (John) for all the input in helping design these (and for letting me copy part of your gauge design) and to Colton74 (Steve) for picking them up in Utah and listening to me go on and on and on...
