gianca Report post Posted September 28, 2017 I have started to peal the wrap and weighted the car, I was not impressed with the weight really. I was hoping for it to be a little lighter. 2981 lbs with all fluids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoleIt Report post Posted October 8, 2017 It has a VIN? I thought all the Super Trofeo race cars didn't have vins...So does that mean you can technically drive it on the street? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianca Report post Posted October 9, 2017 It has a VIN? I thought all the Super Trofeo race cars didn't have vins...So does that mean you can technically drive it on the street? No, all race cars do have a VIN Super Trofeos, Challenge and Cup cars. The VIN are not register with the DMV. This particular car even has a Florida title.

CPUNLAMD Report post Posted November 7, 2017 Most illegal cars are titled in FL. This doesn't mean that the car will be eligible for street use anywhere else. Not raining on your parade. I'm just sharing the years of literature shared online stemming from the illegal importation of the older generation Nissan Skylines. I've been thinking of purchasing one of the cup cars, as they are popping up for sale lately. One to mention is the Trofeo cup car being sold in Socal. The seller was honest enough to disclose that the car wasn't being sold with any paper work to have it titled or registered. With that said, it is a super SWEET set up that would be awesome to have for race application or show. Heck, if Ihad the extra $100,000, I'd pick one up just to transfer the parts onto my existing Gallardo. Center lock wheels and everything!

gianca Report post Posted January 16, 2018 And after months of work on the car I finally got it together, I should make it to the track soon. -Pursuit the Cepheus Blue color with the wrap; 3 mil clear paint protection film on top. Also the Squadra Corse stripe. -Note the raised bonnet and the shark fin -Cut the back of the fender and open louvers on top to free up some wheel well pressure -All fluids drain, new brake pads rotors, rebuilt calipers, spark plugs on coils, new passenger side seat, IMSA radio system, all expose hardware on stainless steel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was the very first time that I drive it and it was a hit, everyone loved it. It is actually not too bad specially if you know what to expect, Florida weather has been nice but on a summer day without a/c would not be as fun. Note: It was mind blowing how fast I could take the ramps off the highway "on this street car" ... lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cake Report post Posted January 16, 2018 SWEEEET!!!!! A friend near Buffalo NY bought one and is loving it on track. He trailers it. Had an unfortunate meeting with the concrete wall at Mid Ohio last Sept as he entered Thunder Valley. It was really cold and he overestimated grip No injuries thankfully. Enjoy and stay safe!!

Lambofan35 Report post Posted January 16, 2018 From what I understand, this car had a title when he bought it. Most of the race cars don't actually have a title, this one happen to have one. He didn't get it, he just showed up and registered it as a regular car. Most of the Ferrari race cars don't have a title and have a shorter VIN missing digits to prevent it from being registered. This one has a normal Lamborghini VIN, maybe they just used regular car chassis before turning them into race cars, not sure.
