Is that Zim's XJ220 (I'm thinking how many XJ220s are in the US, let alone the West Coast). If so, dang that car gets around :)

I love the Cayman. As much as I dislike Audio systems with performance cars, that overall package integration sure looks nice!!

Not a GT40, but a Ford GT. Also, I don't think that's Zim's friend's XJ220, as I've seen at least 3 different examples on the West Coast, owned by various people. If there's a shot of the exhaust headers, I might be able to tell for sure. So...does it look like PAG is the official "new" crystal cove?

^^ oops. i'll correct that, thanks. =)

what's the difference between a GT40 and a GT?

...

PAG isn't even as close to being as quality Crystal Cove was, at least the last GTG wasn't. There were only a few Ferraris, few Porsches, and not even a single Lamborghini. BUT! There were tons of Fords there. lmao. I was really bummed out. I mean, Mustang, after Mustang... =/ It was expected I guess. Afterall, it is their territory.

benaholic's got it backwards...

GT40 is what they made to beat Ferrari back in latter half of the 60's. It was a pure bred prototye race car that was 40 inches tall...and that's where the name comes from

Ford GT is the new production car, which is a remake/mix of the old race car. Just as much as the new mustang is a remake of the original Mustang.

Nice shots. The PAG has some serious issues. While AM had done somewhat well in the past couple of years, the group as a whole is in the financial sh!tter. I read in automotive news recently that they are contemplating selling Jaguar and perhaps Land Rover as well.

Renn- The original GT40 was formulated to beat the Ferrari 250LM correct? I always thought the 250LM was one of the strangest looking 250 bodied, Colombo engined cars.
