Gumball preview

[jmt_arch]

I just got back from checking out the cars at the hotel. Words cant describe what was there. From a Ferrari F50, 360's, 550, 575's, to highly modified Porsche Turbos w/ 500+ hp and 700 lbs. of tq. If anyone lives near by its worth it to check out the cars and talk to the drivers.

The mclearn and the F60 Enzo were not there yet. I was there from 2-4:30. I plan to go back tonight to see what else showed up. There were also 2 new lotus elise's , 2 Morgans, a Bentley, 2 muscle cars, a total of 7-10 porsche turbos, SL 55 AMG, a couple of M3's, around 6 360's, new dodge viper, a lancer EVO, RUF Porsche Turbo, Prowler, and a few others. I expect by now there are double the cars, from earlier today.

I just got back from my second visit to the hotel. The garage was open all day. We walked in and started talking to the drivers and who ever was around. More cars showed up. Someone flew in the KOENIGSEGG, if you haven't heard of it, check out the website. WWW.KOENIGSEGG.COM. The car has 650 hp, 750 torque, 0-60 3.5 top speed of 390 km/h = about 250 mph. We overheard someone say that they don't know if the car will even make it to Las Vegas. Other cars that showed up, GT 2, M5, another 360, G wagon, S4, Mini, Defender 90, and a few others. I shot about 15 mins. of video, I will try to get it uploaded over the next few days. I can't wait until tomorrow. I have to get up at 5am to go to a track day w/ my ducati 748s @ Thunderhill, then rush back by 5, hop into my Porsche and head for the city for the parade lap @ 7 then the start of the race @ 9. I plan to follow the racers for an hour to get more video, for the website. Next year I hope to enter.
