The final car we saw and took pictures of was a Nissan GTR that was parked out front. The car did belong to the dealer and we all know the capabilities of ‘Godzilla’, but frankly, they just do not command the attention of even lesser performing cars. They are technical phenomena which allows the 4000 lb car to do amazing …

Moving around to the front of the Dealership there were a few other exotics to be found as well. This previous generation BMW M6 was a nice looking car and with its 500hp V10 they make for a serious GT and some consider them a competitor to the Maserati Grand Turismo, but to us the Maser has a lot more …

Of course, we are not just Ferrari fans and the simplistic and lightweight approach of Lotus, as taught by its founder Colin Chapman, does have appeal to us. This white Lotus Elise was a fine looking car and there was another blue one in the used lot area as well. We prefer the Exige over the Elise, but there were …

After walking through the garage we made our way back outside where there was a nice 308 GTS QV (Quattro Valve) being serviced and a few other non Ferrari cars which were all nicer sports and exotic cars. The 308 was a maroon color which is not a common Ferrari color but did look very nice. It is always exciting …

Well, after drooling a bit too long over the 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo, we figured we better move along and walked through the garage area where there was a 1980’s Testarossa and a 456 GTA (Auto trans) next to it. These were unique and I actually included a picture of them instead of the California and 458 Spyders …

The 288 GTO was built back in 1984 for racing and used a turbo charged V8 that produced 400 HP which is small in todays world, but was huge back in the mid 1980’s. The body was based on the 308 GTB but was heavily modified and while it may have resembled the 308, it was a completely different beast. …

While they did not have a F550 or F575 on hand, when we moved to the back of the showroom we found something much more dramatic… Take a look at what they had roped off. That is an Enzo, F50, F40 and 288 GTO. These four cars represent the top of the Ferrari line for their respective decade. I love …

Along with the new Ferraris on the floor there were also a few used ones. For the V8 series of Ferrari I have always preferred the 430 and of course they had a nice coupe on the floor as well. They are beautiful cars and I prefer the styling over the newer 458. And for the 430, make mine a …

The one big missing item from the showroom floor was the new F12 which is the replacement for the 599. The F12 is just now rolling off of the production line so I did not expect to actually see one in the showroom. While they did not have a F12 in the showroom, they had what I would consider a …

Of course, the ‘high’ volume car for Ferrari is the 458 Italia and not only was there this excellent coupe (GTB in the old Ferrari days) version on the floor, but there were actually several more 458 Spyder’s as well. I am personally a fan of the coupe version of just about every car, so I included the picture of …

The Maser’s are great to look at, but they occupied the smaller side of the show room, lucky for us, the larger side housed the Ferrari show room. As we made our way to that side of building, our eyes were dazzled with an overload of beautiful red objects of driving desire! Sitting front and center and taking center stage …

As one might expect, there were several new and used Maserati Grand Turismos on the floor as well. The black one pictured here was a new one and the Pininfarina designed GT just looks fantastic. While I love the GS, I do admit the GT upstages it a bit in terms of looks, especially when sitting next to each other …

We walked in on the Maserati side of the SLC Ferrari dealer and they had several Maserati Grand Sports (used obviously) on display. The one here was a beautiful blue one that looked new. The GS cars had a small HP bump from the standard 4200 coupe and also a stiffened and more sporty suspension and one of the things …
