Message Hey buddy, as you know all of the cars (mine at least) are from Norwood. Some guys get laughed at and some do the laughing. I'll let you figure out who does what. A list you say?

1987 Ferrari 328gts: Shown in Jan '94 Turbo & Hi-Tech Magazine.
Red, turbo. This is the second fastest car for now. This car's engine
was blown in December and is currently in the shop getting a new engine
and paint job. The engine will be beefed up so that it cannot blow
up again. Should be finished and ready to break again soon.

1988 Ferrari Testarossa: Will be in Turbo & Hi-Tech Magazine sometime
later this year. Red, twin turbo, nitrous. This is the FASTEST car at
id, if not the fastest car (0-120) in Dallas. This car is now running
better than ever. Developing ~900+hp. Without the nitrous it feels like
a jet. With the nitrous it's more like "Point it straight, ignite the solid
rocket booster, hope nothing gets in the way!" So far two input shafts
have been broken while shifting from 3rd to 4th and dropping the clutch
a little too hard. Texas is probably the only place in the world
where you can get baseball sized hail... the TR learned this the hard
way a few days ago when a really bad storm blew over our offices...
Major hail damage. Will be fixed one of these days.

1995 Ferrari GTO custom: This car is currently being built by Norwood.
Will be red, twin turbo, nitrous. Totally carbon fiber body, GTO chassis,
sequential shifter, ~1000hp-1200hp, 2300lb total ground weight, 18 inch rubber,
some kind of traction control, 5.7 liter billet aluminum V12, 25psi
intercooled boost, direct port nitrous, etc, etc... I do not think man
should go this fast while still on the ground. Will probably end up
being the fastest thing on the road.

Dave's car:
1995 Acura NSX-T Black, stock. Going to stay stock. Don't now how
this car ranks speed-wise yet... but by far the most comfortable of
all the evil id cars.

Adrian Carmack (No relation to me!)
1994 Dodge Viper: Black, stock. Probably going to stay stock. Adrian
does not seem to subscribe to the FASTER, FASTER school of thought...
Third fastest.

Good 'ol John
1992 Ferrari Testarossa: Will be in Turbo & Hi-Tech Magazine along
with Carmack's later this year. Yellow, "Fly Yellow" that is, stock
(for the moment). In the shop right now having nitrous added.
Well, the nitrous melted the engine, so now this car has a single
turbo. Fourth fastest.

1992 Ferrari 348: Just bought this for his wife. Little faster than the
Vette.

Kevin's ride
1993 Corvette: Black, stock. Probably going to be traded for a truck to
pull horses around in. (This *is* Texas, someone here has to own horses.)
Fifth fastest.

Shawn
1994 Ford Explorer: Black, stock. Hmmm... needs a turbo.
It's an Explorer, it's supposed to get eaten by T. Rex, not get away.

Michael
1995 Volvo station wagon: White. Volvo... what can you say?
It will be running while the rest of us are in a ditch with engine
fires.

Sandy
Some domestic family car... we are embarrassed.
Hahahah.

Jay
Another family thing... but he does have a motorcycle.
Ah, what a cool motorcycle it is though. '95, Cobalt Blue, BMW R1100RSL.
It's a Toyota, so it's probably faster than Sandy's.

That's it!
