Default Car spotting in Florida - new Saleen, Ferrari, etc. (56k)

these are actually a month and some old probably. Went down to Florida for a week to see my brother's graduation at FSU and went to Disney for a few days. Here's some pictures I took down there...

new Saleen sitting outside a dealership in Talahassee. Great looking car


the next bunch of pictures was from a dealer that was literally right around the corner from my hotel. You could throw a rock from my hotel and put it right through the windshield of one of these cars on the lot, that's how close it was. Unfortunately it wasn't open for the day yet when I got there and I only had a few minutes to take pictures.

group of Porsche's and a (ugly) BMW.


another shot of them.


single shot of the 996TT. Love the white but the interior color wouldn't be my first choice.


nice M5 and some other BMW's out front.


this was a '91 and it had like 25-30,000 miles on it.


Supra in great condition parked in the very back of the lot.


this SL55 AMG was also parked in the very back (surprisingly). I LOVE this car.


sorry about the quality of the next four pictures. Like I said, it was closed when I was there so I couldn't get into the showroom. The windows were mirror tinted on the building so getting decent pictures was tough.

***-end of a Maserati Spyder in there.


side of a 360 Modena.


front of the Spyder and the 360.


another of the showroom. I believe that was a Porsche GT2 in there as well, very sexy.


this was a concept car in the Test Track ride at Epcot at Disney World. It's called the "Hy-wire" I believe, pretty cool looking car.


this is the new stunt show that opened up at Disney/MGM Studios, it's pretty cool. They just do various car stunt scenes, chases, etc. Fortunately it opened the day before I had to leave so I got to see their first show ever. I believe they said they brought the show over from EuroDisney so they were using Opels for their cars.

the red car is the "hero" car, they basically make a little movie out of the stunts they do. The engine is mounted right behind the driver and has 4 front and 4 reverse gears.


some of the bad guys showing off.


lots of pyrotechnics in certain segments they did.


here's a close-up of one of the bad guys cars they had on display out front.


another angle.


nice wheels on the hero car.


and another.


This is a Disney bus that takes people to and from the parks and resorts. Recaro seats and JDM reflective stair tape.


nice FD that was sitting outside one of the hotels.


another angle of it.


that's all folks!

I thought the '91 came with black top and smaller 5 spoke wheels?

I was just going off what the window sticker said, had it listed as a 1991.

Jack Roush was actually up here at one of the Ford dealerships here not to long ago. They got....I think 5 of the new Roush Mustangs in and he personally handed the owners the keys and signed the car for them, pretty cool.
