I agree - it looks like a track car for sure. Not really keen on the looks as a road car, but cool siting for sure.

That spoiler makes the car look 10000x more aggressive than the one that originally comes on it.

Nice spotting.

the car cannot be registered in canada, so it is registered to a residence in north carolina.

first in flight.

I heard a rumor that Zahir crashed his Enzo......perhaps that is why he's driving the MC12

Haha that wing looks like it belongs on that car though! Le mans anyone?!

I remember seeing this on Highway 1 on my way out to Invermere...don't remember when but it was probably last summer, i definitely did a triple-take on it. BEAUTY!

Car was at race city tonight, along with Zahir who was actually in a Lime green Murcielago I think and like 10 other exotics.

Me and silver_gs-R were just at race city watching these guys. Was a lot of fun. The green Gallardo was loud as hell. There was a white Porsche not sure if its a kitted 911 or a GT2, it was dark, but that thing seemed outrageously fast. Seemed to pull the hardest of all cars there. Sounded like a jet too. We followed the Mc12 from there all the way to 17th, what a car!

The white Porsche is a 996 that's been modified by Sportec. It's good for over 700rwhp.

man oh man. The Gallardo is and always will remain my dream car. I have no idea why but it just stands out to me much more than any other supercar.

05-15-2008, 11:43 PM
Perhaps it's the color?
I'd take the Porsche Turbo over that any day!

What you guys have forgot to mention, is that the Green Gallardo is a TT, tuned by Jason Heffner out of Florida.

Yeah its been here since last year. Saw it going down 9Ave one afternoon last summer.

The nice weather if bringing out all the cars. Already saw a couple of Ferrari's out and about yesterday and today.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they build this one on the enzo chassis?

Yup.

MC 12 was what Maserati wanted for racing. In order to register for racing, they had to make a road homologation version of it. They made a few of these road versions.

The MC 12 we have here has EDO modifications on it (that rear wing, et.al)

^yes.

The Porsche looks sick. Definately on the list of cars that I can realistically own one day.

Did he crash the enzo? apparently it's at a body shop.

Nah, it wasn't crashed. It was just getting a few touchups.

The lettering on the wing and windshield looks tacky. I'll take one with a stock wing too.

The lettering looks much better in person. He was downtown cruising yesterday.

seen this ripping up the road course last week at race city on wednesday when the drifts were on.

That thing is sick, so much better in person. That white Porsche's exhaust note is sickk. it sounds like a jet plane... ill try to get my shitty phone movie uploaded.

and it's his wife's ride.

I went on one of Zahir's cruises (a couple friends have bought Ferrari's from him), I brought my NSX, even though I was out of place by a long shot everyone was very nice to me. I took some pictures when we got to Banff Springs Hotel to show the size comparison with the MC12 and my NSX, the MC12 is a long car.

It was pretty wild, Zahir's Enzo is the best sounding car I've ever heard. There were some really nice cars there, lots of Ferrari's, a DB9, the MC12, the TT Gallardo, a couple Maserati's, an SLR roadster, a couple Porsches. I stayed with the MC12 most of the drive, it got amazing attention driving through Banff, almost everyone on the side of the road had their camera's out.
