Haven't seen either of those turbo f-bodies, but I think Ken Janke (AFLAC exec) and Erik Rivera (owns an home theater business off River Road) both have or had newer red Ferraris recently.

Heck, while we are on the subject of cool local cars here's a recent pic of the PTAP NSX and Shaun's Viper (and my lowly Z06)....

i pass by that viper all of the time since i work downtown. I left a cottonmouths game this season and was behind him on 3rd avenue(i guess he was going back to his shop) and he dropped it down at around 35 mph and almost put it into a tree....it def. has some power in it lol.

Hmmm.......That's cool. I'm from Texas originally, and I will be headed back March 10th. I don't think that you stay too far from me actually. I see you around my neighborhood all the time. We should roll out to one of the meets together one day before you leave........

Don't worry man, you aren't missing anything lately. The scene slowed down a bit due to cold weather and rain and stuff like that.

Racing? What racing?

Just kidding!! There are quite a few nice cars around here. You just have to be out and about at the right time to catch them. Most of the people with quick cars either just stand on the sideline and talk crap about how fast their car is and what it can do or pick on slower cars, lol.

But if you're serious about coming to Columbus, just let us know and I'm pretty sure we all could get something set up.

I am actually in the market for another car myself. Well I will be in a few months anyway. I thought about getting either a LS2 GTO, RX7, or a Terminator. I have to do a little more research first though. I may just get a turbo regal like I originally wanted before I got my Z28 or get into DSMs again. Or I just might keep my Z and get an LT1 powered car. Heck my dad keeps trying to convince me to get either a Dodge Ram or a Silverado. If I go that route though it would have to be diesel powered, which I don't have the money for yet. Man!! So many choices, LOL!!

Have you thought about getting a C5 Z06? I remember a while back SheikSS told me that they were getting to be pretty affordable. You can find some for as low as around 20 grand in decent shape.

Out in texas you can find c6's for 25+ with low miles. I know corvette palace is a good place to shop. My boy bought a 06 c6 1l somthing package but its nice 6 speed 44k miles black removeable top all that stuff for 24 k out the door. Im in the market as well for a c6z or a c5z I all ready have what I want to put in it. 418 ls3, ls7 topend budget minded of course. Im looking for mid 500 on this set up i like boost but I want the vette to be tamed.
