Plugs on floor for trickle chargers was some good forward thinking.

Dan (likes the garage and contents)

Didn't notice the comments about powder coating the wheels silver. Looking at them again, I do notice that they are a gloss silver instead of the OEM satin silver. Unique look!

My wife and I just finished our house, when the slab was poured I had a smooth finish done. He then, sanded, scored the squares and had to hand lay out the finish chips. He then sanded again and put 3 coats of clear on top.

I'm going to run in H or J class. I have a 2007 Cayman S that my shop built. We actually have 5 cars that we are going to run next year with 4 of my buddy's. I can tell you it's the slowest (hp wise) track car I have had but the most fun to drive. Makes you work for it. I did a 1.52.8 at TWS with a 200lb rider in it a few weeks ago. I did a 2.28.5 at COTA this past Sat.

Not yet, Huracan is scheduled to be here next week! I will keep you guys posted after some seat time.

Thanks for the pics, inspiring.
I am a huge Trans Am nut. I had one in High School and been in love with them ever since. I have a '72 and 2 '73's. The '72 is a #'s matching 4spd, the red '73 I have owned for 14 years, sort of a resto mod. The Brewster green '73 is a crazy build. I had Detroit Speed build it, it was a SEMA car at the ARP booth. It has everything DSE has in their catalogue +. Mini- tubbed, 4link rear suspension, DSE front Subframe with power rack, 675hp LS7 6 spd ect.

Thanks, I am still learning the car. The hardest part for me is learning how to get on the gas fast enough out of corners. I'm so used to feathering the throttle in the more powerful cars..

Hey SW, gorgeous house and collection you got going there. Is your 458 the Triple Pearl Yellow (Giallo Triplo Strato) by chance? I have the same color in my 458 which is currently for sale.

Wow, that's a rare color.. Mine is regular Giallo Modena and it's a loaded one also. Good luck in your sale!

Did you have a blue Scud? What happened to it or is it getting mods?
