The big deal in Japan the last several days has been the 2006 Tokyo Auto Gallery. The tuner and custom car show was the venue for the debut of the Toyota Harrier Zagato and is also where the Pagani Zonda Rabbit is on display.

We recently discovered James Glickenhaus poking around the comments section of our posts on his Ferrari P4/5 produced by Pininfarina, so naturally we approached the connoisseur of cars to see if he'd be interested in answering a few questions about the one-off Ferrari he commissioned from the Turin-based design house.

Chief among them is an increase in towing capacity by 600 lbs. to a "class-leading" 10,500 lbs.

The F-150, however, may break the tie with a greater payload capacity of 3,050 lbs. compar
