To me, that is one of the finer retro concept cars. Very well done for that stage of evolution. Would be cool to see it happen. What is the rumor mill saying abouat a new Pantera?

Any of the above would likley have you grounded to your room pretty much full time, thus no borrowing the car keys.

Really, Dan, it's time to cash out the Diablo and sink the $$$ into the Skylark.

Seriously, I think it would very easy to build the Buick into a great sportscar. Just swap out the engine, tranny, chassis, body, interior, wheels, tires and electronics with F360 parts.

Best plan so far. Then he could use it for things like doing donuts in the snow and stuff.

Phantom 360 Stradale...same difference righ?

If you do consider a Vette, I'd wait till that supercharged LS engine that was just leaked on the internet.

Yeah baby! 700 horses and Chevy factory warranty, GMAC financing. With all the supercharged cars around Webby might have to start Midwestsscc.com

Since we're all spending your money!!!

Here's my plan, sell everything and buy the 430 Scuderia Palmer mentioned. Before you say re-wrapped 360 again, read the current Forza article and test drive. It is as fast at the Fiorano track as an Enzo.

OK, don't like that one? Keep the Diablo for dates and light duty use, sell the NSX, add $40K to the proceeds and go buy a new yellow Z-06 for hell raising and track days. Anything you tear up will be under warranty for darn near forever and you can out-run the mysterious Thundervette that you keep running into.

Thanks for the Viper pic. I was needing my gutters cleaned and haven't found the time...

It would sure be hard to walk away from the Diablo, but I understand the maint issues. Hey, at least you don't have to lay awake at night thinking about cam belts!
The CS would be a great car. There always is something out there that can be faster, but like the Cadillac ad says, "When you turn it on does it return th favor?"
Follow your heart (and wallet) but the Lamborghini has been the ultimate attitude car since the Countach was unleashed in the middle of a fuel crisis and strangulating emission requirements, basically flipping the bird at society. It was a pretty capable car too, and has remained so thru the years.

How fast does your boat go?
A boat would be cool but I wouldn't buy them until my car collection's complete

I've been boating since I was a little kid, love the water and freedom of speed out there. You know, your car collection will never be complete, so you need to work one in someday. Even a crappy cheap boat looks pretty good to someone stuck on the shore! Besides, the earth is 66% covered with water, so you'll always find someplace to run it. www.screamandfly.com is the nets performance boating community with several meets each year, lots of drive events like we have, tons of photos and a huge forum.

My Lavey as a twin turned 32" cleaver props at 8300 rpm, which burried the pre-gps speedo, but is a mathematical 121 mph.
It is the only twin OB hull that Lavey built. They started as a California flat bottom drag hull builder in the 60's, now have progressed into the offshore market. These Mod VP hull 18-21 ft models were from the 90's. As is sits now she runs 80 MPH with one 2.4 liter Mercury Bridgeport, pretty good for a boat with full interior and all the amenities and skiing capability.
