Hi guys,

just stumbled over a german news article which describes former Formula 1 champion Nelson Piquet's absolutely uber awesome amazing garage and of course there is also a red Ford GT with 950HP in it (this man did everything right ... this makes me jealous ;) )

You're right...

Black is just a silly color on a CGT :biggrin

I don't think it's the black but the white wheels that spells goon! At least they are not 30" wheels! LOL

There are many cool cars. The front license plate on the FGT could be elsewhere.

On the cobra, it looks like its CF body, and with floating rotors, Im suspect, its not a ho hum, mustang 2 chassis replica with late 80's stock 5.0...... Wheels are easy to change.

To me, the Cobra looks like a West Coast/Stallion model. A very "wide-body" caricature of a Cobra with a chassis more befitting a pickup truck than a sports car, and typically powered by a BBF V8 truck motor from the 80's (460ci). Their literature talks about how thick and heavy their fiberglass body is, as if it were a good thing (for a sports car?). They are big, heavy, and don't look like a Cobra to me. Not my cup o' tea.

Franky, CobraJeff is in obviously in good spirits and enjoying the holiday reflecting his knowledge and you bust his ball's?

I learned from him to not buy a West Coast Stallion POS
