hey cali why do you start new thread to these cars already you start a new thread to the ferrari f70 why don't you post all of this in one of your hybird thread?.

[Californikan]

hey Nex, just cause the Porsche 918 and Ferrari F70 are two very special and highly awaited supercars. There's going to be a lot of news coming out about them in the next year, enough news for each to have a thread. I'll put info about all the other hybrids in my hybrid news and photos thread, but just these two cars are so special they deserve their own threads
