I'm a bit of a Ferrari fanboy. One day I'll get my 512TR, and slam it on HREs !!

Thanks! And please say no to the HREs. The 512TR is a seriously amazing performance machine that will run 180mph all day long....sounds familiar. Slam it, and it won't.

A friend of mine has a 89 RedHead and a 87 (I think) 328 he's been letting me drive lately. What fantastic cars! I haven't really had a chance to wind out the RedHead yet but I that should be soon.

the 308's sure are pretty, but imagine an LT5 in one.

I took a quick nap and had a dream of a 415 in a 512 TR lol .

I'm sure we can get along :) I love HREs for many reasons but don't worry .. It won't be so much a rediculous looks only slam, more like lowered with nice offsets and reduced fender gaps. The 512 is fairly low as it is. My z is pretty low but don't worry I've already tried topping it a few times and there's only more stability !

Sacrilege! If you've ever been in a 308 ripping at seven grand, you wouldn't want one in there either. No the power isn't the same, but it's a very light car and the sound is something else.

Just like I wouldn't put a Ferrari engine in a Corvette...just wrong. :)

Here's a better pic out in the sun. Going to give it a nice bath and then I'll post some better ones. Second pic, you can see what I'm dealing with in the paint. Those swirls are mostly dirt, but once it's clean it will need some serious work.
