    Looks like a 1990 ZR1 and a newer ZR1! Man, when I was a kid I wanted a ZR1 bad! LT5 DOHC under the hood designed by Lotus built by mercury marine. Right? If I can remember. How do you like the 90 ZR1?

    It was my dream car in high school too. This is my 3rd one....it has a Lingenfelter 415 stroker motor that is an absolute beast. Revs almost like a 458 despite displacing 6.8L.

    Outstanding car collection! They are beautiful and I love the garage layout.

    Congratulations and the F458 looks perfect at any rotation!

    Thank you sir. It is sterling grey with caramel leather, and it matches the Grigio Silverstone/cuoio 458 quite well. It also has a twin rotrex blower setup similar to Novitecs Ferrari packages.

    Good eye. It is an Underground Racing Stage 3 twin turbo Gallardo. Makes 1000awhp on 93 octane, much more on race gas. The last of the 6 speed manual Italians!

    Do you need a 35 year old "son" to hand these down too?

    Awesome collection, and congrats on the 458! Do you mind sharing your thoughts on driving the tt G? And also the black series?

    The TTG is a bit of a bear around town with the Tilton triple disc clutch, but there is nothing....nothing like the sound and feel of that TT V10 at 8000 rpm under full boost. Everything else is underpowered, period.

    The SL Black still gets more attention than virtually anything I own, except maybe the Fisker.....and the TT V12 is like a locomotive in its torque delivery.

    I hope I speak for the majority here when I say id LOVE to see more pictures of your whole collection! My father had a Zr1 back in the early 90's as well and I vaguely remember riding in it a few times.

    Also a big fan of the E39 you have there, you really dont see them anymore oddly enough.
