Title: Concours D'Elegance car show yesterday
Post by: Cobra951 on Monday, June 13, 2011, 09:52:01 AM
Sandy and I went to this show yesterday in Ault Park (Cincy).  The sheer number of great-looking cars of all ages was awesome.  I have never seen that many Ferraris together in one place ever, including TV shows.  Damn that vermillion-red F430 (http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/2228/869/30567934165_large.jpg) from around '03 was like sex.  Keep the $12-million 250 GTO.  If it's for me, I'll take the F430. /dream

Found a site with lots of pictures. (http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2444600/AULT-PARK-Concours-dElegance---2011-car-show.html)

So that's why I saw the red F430 off Bridgetown Rd. yesterday.  Makes sense now.

That's not the same one I saw.  The one I saw was a Spyder.

I like the F430, but the F355 is still my favorite Ferrari.  I like the 360 Modena better than the F430 as well.

I saw several unusual cars driving around that day.  We followed a Lotus (Elise, I think) to I-71 S from Red Bank Rd on the way back.  A Testarrosa was revving more than moving around the side streets near the park.

The Modena is beautiful in the same way as the F430.  The 355 looks a bit dated to me.  Is it a better performer than the others?  It's not like I have any experience.  (I wish.)

I saw a Model A as well.

Regarding the F355, I just like the look of them the best.  I couldn't tell you about performance in comparison to the 360 Modena or the F430.  The only Ferrari's I think look "dated" rather than "classic" are some of the 80's ones like the 308 and Tesstarossa.
