Well I talked to the dude in charge of the car and he said it's a real GT40 for sale at ZR Auto. :dunno:

From what I had heard it is a kit car. And if you refer to this thread http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38222&highlight=diablo+performance

You can see it being completed and tuned at Diablo Performance. And Redlyne_mr2 states in one of his posts:

Thats a reproduction of the original gt40 dude, the new ford gt's havent hit the sales floors yet


No way an original GT40 would go for $150,000

[SmoothOperator]

Me and a few friends are going this weekend i was just wondering how much is it to get in...thx...the gt-40 is sooo tight...and the saleen...(Drool)...

[Moonracer]

$10 bucks for adult.

Yes that Saleen S7 is amazing! I like it more than the Diablo that is also there.

[Melinda]

dodge claims itll do over 400 mph and 0-60 in 2.5sec :dunno:

some engineering dude looked at it and did some rough calculations based on the exposed frontal area. They figured it could go much over 250 mph.

Thing is too big and heavy. I will see if I can find the article.

[C4S]

Nothing really special this yr ... wanna see the MINI Cab ...

Beside the S7 .. no special car ...

Not really I think it's true. I think the Maybach was only there for the Vehicles and Violins Gala which is held the day before the show starts. The tickets are like $125.00 so most of the wealthy will be there which is the market the Maybach is after.

[air_mikey]

anyone get pics of the s2000??

[Moonracer]

Yup!

Clicky (http://www.supercars.net/garages/Moonracer/200v2.html)

Who the heck is this guy ?? and what is he doing ?
Canada William Hung ?? :poosie:
:barf: :poosie:

Why not just take a pic for the nice girl behind him .. :(

[benyl]

The guy was a homie type G. They were showcasing the SRT-4. I think he supposed to be some racer type guy or sumptn'.

Basically a F & F type wannabe.

She was pretty hot, but I only got pictures of her legs as the stage was rotating and someone bumped into me.

[infamous]

well i'm going to this thing tomorrow....i'll see if i can post the pics soon.....damn i want the audi rs6.....:bigpimp: :drool: :burnout:

[benyl]

I wasn't impressed by the RS6 as much as I thought I would be. Really it is just an A6 with a big ass motor under the hood. You can't sit in it or anything. Mind you, I didn't really ask either.

[Loose]

How do you guys shoot? Flash or no flash? Tripod or by hand? Settings?

I experimented at the etown show trying to get away without the flash, nothing worked.

[Loose]

... and check the pic of the GT40's motor... I can't believe they weren't showing that off.

[benyl]

The photos I put up here are un-edited (except for the boarder) and all shot without flash. I just had the lens completely open and with IS (Image Stabilization), you can handhold most of the shots. Most of my shots came out a little dark, but PS can fix that real easy.

[benyl]

Here is an example of what I am talking about:

Try playing with the levels with it, that way you avoid the ISO grain that was seen in that second picture, you can notice it in the windows and such.

I am the biggest noob when it comes to photoshop.

I did that in less than 2 minutes to show what can be done. I also did it on my desktop instead of my laptop. I just realized that my desktop monitor isn't adjusted right. I can see what you are saying.

Practice, practice, practice is what I need.

Just msg me if you ever have any questions man :) That thing about the desktop/laptop brings up a good issue. I am often finding myself thinking "what will this photo look like if the person has their brightness cranked, and will they see the detail if their monitor is too dark" :(
