Wow, my jaw would drop seeing those cars all in one year, let alone all at the same time, did you guys all know each other and intentionally drive near each other, or was it just by chance that you saw them on the road?

100% chance.. sure would have liked to have had some open road to "open" it up a bit and stretch some legs.. (knowing the Viper would have been WAY ahead of everyone else)

Ive got one kind of like that. I live in WI, and a whole group of us went to WIS Dells for a saturday. It was as follows:

(2) Modded NSX's (red and black), (2) Fourth Gen Supra TT's (also modded, yellow and red), (2) Eclipses, (01 spyder, and mid to hi 12 sec GSX), (4) Yes FOUR 300ZX TT's, also modded, (1) Older Porsche 944 Turbo, (1) 86 Corvette, very very fast.....he was a little ahead of me (less than a car), (2) Third Gen RX-7 TT's (one is the forst Pettit Racing RX-7 ever built), and (1) S2000 (me), the only stock car there, except for the 01 eclipse spyder, but that was and auto, and it was the guys girlfriends car, his car was in the shop, its another low 13 sec GSX.

We took all back roads to the dells, and it was the best day i have ever had.


OH YEAH, there was also my biggest competition (best friend) he drove a (stock) 99 or 2000 M Roadster.....very nice car.

It was a lot of fun, and im going to stop talking about it now, because my car is away for winter (i know kinda early) so its depressing to not be able to drive it. if anyone in WI lives in the Milwaukee/Waukesha area, and would not mind letting me go for a spin that would be awesome.....J/K

haha i can beat that...

driving down kuykendahl (from 1960 towards 45 for anyone in Houston area) i caught up with a pack of about 7 or 8 Benzes - all black. it must've been some promo organized by M-B for journalists, because they all had Cali plates. Anyways, i couldn't get any good runs (even though i'd get slaughtered by each model!) because they pulled into some country club. tho i did get a thumbs up from several of the drivers and the SL55 did one hella burnout at the traffic light!

anyway, they were all the new AMG models and a single non-AMG :

E55, SL55, CL55, S55 - all with the 493hp blown V8
C32, SLK32, CLK500 .........edited by me

i'm sure that's easily half a mil worth of cars... yikes!
