some more Austin pics!

Hey dude, great post indeed. Couldn't have described it better myself. Don't forget the monster calipers and ceramic discs on the M6. They were beyond huge at first sight!!!

I'll throw in a few pics from the event to accompany your post. Didn't really snap any interior pics though. Bummer on my part. Enjoy nevertheless!

I really love the pictures here on the forum showing the Sakhir Orange exterior but I am afraid, that without seeing it in person, it may be a mistake. Some of the photos show a red undertone. My question for you guys that went to the event is does Sakhir come off like Hemi orange you see on a Dodge Challenger or something else?

Thanks!

Go for it

Since there is so much interest in the colors of the cars, I decided to upload some more photos, but in this case, unedited. The exposures on them however vary a bit, but hope it gives you some more insight on what's missing from the set above. Enjoy!
