You did pretty good although the first few on the top are not the best of the bunch but towards the bottom those are pretty good shots, IMHO. The pros will chime in on the whole sun issue which they seem to prefer real early morning, or late in the evening and they get real excited about overcast days too. It gets really complicated taking super car pictures, it is an art we all must lean,if we want truly great auto mobile shots. I know I am with my canon 350d dslr too.
Killer ride, btw, very clean.

Nice Car... As far as Photography, I think there is a sticky on here that gives some help. From memory some tips I have heard for taking pictures of cars are to keep the front wheel turned toward the camera and shoot from door height. The rule of thirds is something I try to apply as well and aside from that I know even professional photographers take tons of shots and hope to get lucky with a few of them.

Take for instance the second to last pic, you could try...
moving you or the cars position to get the building out of the left side.
turn the front wheel to face the camera.
shoot from a slightly lower position.
rotate the camera to create a slight angle.
use a wider angle lens if possible to emphasize the depth of the stone pillars.
have the car (center of focus) at the bottom right/left third showing more sky.
use a polarizing filter to deepen the sky.
use some type of reflector to bounce added light onto the car.
add a hot girl/girls

Love the rims...

But I think the last one is the best.. The second to last one would be alot better if it had the wheels facing the other way...

Take for instance the second to last pic, you could try...
moving you or the cars position to get the building out of the left side.
turn the front wheel to face the camera. (got it)
shoot from a slightly lower position. (will do)
rotate the camera to create a slight angle. (ok)
use a wider angle lens if possible to emphasize the depth of the stone pillars. (don't have another lens to try)
have the car (center of focus) at the bottom right/left third showing more sky. (I think I knew that one...just didn't do it)
use a polarizing filter to deepen the sky. (don't have)
use some type of reflector to bounce added light onto the car. (don't have either)
add a hot girl/girls (I'll see if my wife will pose next time haha)
