All Revved Up

Last weekend, over 75 members and invited guests gathered at our Open House event for a chance to engage in searing debate over which of the assembled supercars were most worthy of attention and praise.And as contrasts go, this one was a doozy. One guest brought his DeLorean DMC-12, featuring original gull-wing doors, a fiberglass underbody, and structural brushed stainless steel panels:

(Conspicuously absent was the flux capacitor.)And in the other corner sat - not one, but two - Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadsters, the 617hp Anglo-German ultra supercar known for its speed, athleticism, comfort, and quiet ride:

…and a hand-built, front-mounted supercharged V-8 engine, which ladels out endless torque to comfortably propel the pilot from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds:

Other guests brought a wide assortment of classic Ferraris….
