Reflectors can work, but they have to be big and close. It's also
tough to keep them out of the sheetmetal with most angles. White
sheets of mat board under the bumpers will make them shine, but you
have to clone them out in post or strip in pavement from a second shot.

John, if I may butt in...your outfit will absolutely "do it" and
beautifully. If a fairly windless day, a couple low reflectors might
be handy. Let me quickly add, Paul is exactly the right one to ask.
Am very much looking foreword to shots of your acquaintance's
"stable", although I'll have to practice some serious drool control
in the meantime. =)

This is my favorite shot of the car, a 1970 Hemi
Barracuda that's worth
around half a million US.

Great shot - I can see why you like it!
Apart from the equipment mentioned above, were you using
anything else?
Basically I'm trolling for tips on how to best show off a
car; I ran
into my car-owning accquaintance the other day and
mentioned I was
interested in coming out to shoot his stable.
Apparently he'd been
thinking along those lines, too, so it will almost
certainly happen.
He's got an impressive lineup; apart from the Ferrari F360
and the
Lamborgini he recently picked up a new toy - a Bugatti
Veyron!
There's also a Viper roadster, and I'm sure one or two
others.
I don't know whether he's got a Tesla.
I don't have either the K-7 or 60-250 yet, but I'm sure the
K10D
and the trusty FA* 80-200 will suffice.
