I don't love the exterior of his paint-to-match CGT, but the interior is gorgeous. Great mix of retro and modern day.

Maybe you guys can help me. I took pics of this car and absolutely love the color. My pics probably don't catch it, but at first it looks black, then as you walk up on it, it is a very dark metallic brown. Just curious what the color is and if it's original. I do highly recommend going to this show. Lots of eye candy.

I ran into Cal tonight at a sushi restaurant here in Nashville and asked him the color of the blue RUF. He said the name was Lake Placid Blue. Also, I thought it was a Turbo. He told me it is normally aspirated, but that it does have 460 hp.

If you like the orange and silver GT3 RS, some good pics here, at Ray's. Some nice "common" GT3's too:

This is a great thread. Thx alot for posting such a personal thing as a guy's hot cars and his actual garage. It looks more like a museum to Porsche! Wish I lived in that neighborhood.

Not to go too far OT, but if people will pay around a $60K premium to get an RS with no wait, then I need to get in another line of business! $198.5K vs. MSRP of $134K!

Yes, I mentioned that it was a 550, but it actually is an RS60. Only 35 RS60 and RS61's were ever built, I believe.
