now THIS is a fall cruise! *56K blow me*
A friend who drives an NSX invited me to their annual Fall Cruise. This year they have taken to inviting other sportscars and I'll just let the pics speak for themselves.
Leaving the Red Dragon behind for a ride in another red beast.
Arriving at the pre-meet at Vaughn Mills, I was greeted by this wild NSX:
Not exactly my taste but hey it was blown... other more notable examples were there too:
This one has Brembo Indy brakes which are a step up from the GTs most cars have:
Comptech SC'd on 19" HREs... owner said he dyno'd around 360rwhp:
and then some other cars started to show up... all of them in red... hmmmm:
and then they just started coming out in droves...
Heritage Livery paint (same paintscheme that won 24hrs of LeMans back in the 60's) = USD$13000 option!
stick with the racing stripes and it's "only" a $5000 option:
which would you pick?
here's an easy way to check for rear tirewear on the Ford GT:
then I hear this beast roaring in, revving to make his entrance known:
notice the camera-rig strapped to it? seems they got a crew to film the day's events... oh and those plates means he's never come up against an SRT4...
Got Lip?
as I'm taking pics of the Diablo, this other yellow bastard rolls in:
not to be outdone in the pizzadish contest:
getting hard to pick a favourite, eh?
suddenly we hear the squeeling of tires and see this...
damn ricers, right?
so which car do you think was pulling this stunt? a Ferrari? that 996 Turbo? that blinged out Diablo?
NOPE, try this... which would be my pick of the bunch, believe it or not... hehe
a chipped CLS55 AMG putting out around 700lbs/ft of torque!

so then we cruised up the 400 to Orillia... check out the cameraman in the Porsche... it was amazing passing by other drivers and seeing the looks on their faces... these pics remind me of those Cannonball run vids... w00t!
we stopped near the waterfront on our way to Muskoka and caused quite a stir with the residents who didnt expect to see such exotics on their stroll by the lake...
we picked up more Lambos on the way... this one I hope owns stock in the clothing company...
this part cracked me up... when you have this kind of a meet, you dont go get your own coffee... it comes to you!
Timmies sends over a C6 Vette loaded with donuts, muffins, and coffee... LOL, I kid you not...
reaching the "start line" of the backroads course thru Muskoka... hmmm not the kind of cars you want to see following you closely on some insanely twisty roads... hopefully everyone has some good brakes and tires! *gulp*
I didnt take any pics of the run cuz well I was too scared for my life! My buddy and I as his navigator led our pack which included a loud 1980's Porsche Turbo, a couple of Lambos, and a few NSX's. Let's just say that we did some very fast driving thru very twisty two-lane roads littered with elevation changes and blind corners. This route was easily 10x more difficult and treacherous than Forks! Luckily everyone seems to have the skill and commonsense to drive within their limits so no one was hurt. A lot of angry residents though!
Here we are arriving at the "finish line"...
on the way home, the Lambo and CLS55 AMG have a difference in opinion...
oh and the Benz won the arguement... lol
it wont be too often I'll see this in my rearview...
Whew! what a day it was... I cant wait til next year's Spring Fling!
