I'm reaching for a barf bag. Some guys are just so damn short sighted.

I can top this too. A guy I know (here in Chicago) has a FULL carbon fiber bodied 993. It's a silver 993TT out of Canada, fully race prepped. I heard it held the track record at Autobahn when driven by Randy Pobst on a joy ride.

All the CF on the Lambo looks kind of subdued...I'm sorry the guy with the car in the original post took the stickers off the hood. I was interested until he did that.

I believe those are Tilletts and weigh 5-10lbs each w/o rails. Supposedly very comfortable and are OEM in Caterhams...if you want lightweight seats they are the way to go.

Our local PCA meeting was hosted at the above seller's place this past summer. Fitting in with the overall over-the-top flavor of the evening , a local BBQ grille retailer cooked us hamburgers on a (kid you not) $5,000+ Porsche Design grille. It was actually a fun evening but I never saw the above car. Wish I had. something to tell the grandchildren about some day.

This dealer is into selling things that goes fast on land or water. As an example I give you their 0-60 in less than 3 seconds adult street legal "Go-Kart" offering:
