"I'm bringin sexy back" Part II - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**Ian Carlo** · 10-10-2006, 02:42 AM

Not to steal the thunder of the other thread but on Saturday Oct 7th, I was invited (oO I can hear the haters already) to a fall cruise that kills the one happening next weekend. I hate to say it but the best cruises are the ones that are invite-only because it ensures that the ppl coming have the right frame of mind and usually a smaller group is better. C7's fall cruise is just too big to be of any kind of driving enjoyment. Essentially you end up behind a slow pack of cars for the whole trip and you can kiss any kind of enthusiastic driving goodbye. Some of you will remember that the best cruises were when we did Forks in a small group and specially the Hamilton-Niagara run that took us thru one of the trickiest routes ever (think Touge). I would never go on any of these roads if I didnt know the drivers and know that they can handle themselves accordingly.

Anyway enough preaching and on to the pics. Lithiumus who rarely posts on this site drives an NSX and 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! Lithiumus 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. For those who did the Hamilton mountain run with me last year, this route was easily 10x more difficult and treacherous! 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!
I'll let Lithiumus add his own comments...

**DA_BOMB** · 10-10-2006, 03:15 AM

On another odd note, did anyone see the Top Gear episode where the host received his brand new Ford GT, and it wouldn't start?

**Castel** · 10-10-2006, 02:38 PM

the black VT looks like it has Gallardo rims - totally changes the look of the car.

looks like an awesome time. i also like the plate on the 355, it's true but he didn't have to say it

**NateDoGG** · 10-10-2006, 03:07 PM

omfg too sick
now how many were real and how many were kits lol

**lithiumus** · 10-10-2006, 03:47 PM

Well, I have to say that it was one of the best "drives" I've had. Ian didn't know what he was getting into when I quickly jumped at the opportunity to lead the final group through the run.

Leading with free road ahead means you can set the pace. I'm glad Ian was as vocal as he was during the run as I was able to gauge and anticipate a lot of the heavy braking (esp. in the middle of some hard turns) based on his reaction as he had a much better view of some of the left turns and also noticed him looking through the trees on some right turns.

Because of this, I was able to keep the car balanced and the turns nice a tidy... though at times, break neck speeds... the only 2 cars that were able to keep up was the 911 Turbo and a Red Diablo... and that was only because we ran into slow traffic every 5-10km...

There were no "kits" but there was a Lambo that was not 100% real but it was fully custom built so it shared all the dimensions and about 40% were original. That custom built Diablo is probably faster than the real ones... and was the only Diablo who kept up with us!

**MX3Autozam** · 10-10-2006, 03:49 PM

**m33how** · 10-10-2006, 03:50 PM
