Your right about the exhaust, it's somewhere between a tweeked out STi and a dentist drill.

What's bad about 612 hp

I respectfully disagree. The Carrera GT is among a small elite of roadcars that went through an incredible amount of development. If you have some time on your hands, I suggest you read this little article.

blacklabel, thanks a lot for the pictures.

For those who love the exhaust note as much as I do, here is a little soundbattle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muLwmMutDb0

Interesting article! Especially this part:
"Porsche’s development center in Weissach, Germany, built a 5.5-liter, normally aspirated V10 engine for racing, and that engine’s bores have been enlarged to displace 5.7 liters in the Carrera GT. Maximum output is rated at 605 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, with peak torque of 435 lb-ft. The engine has a very low center of gravity, a 68-degree V angle and four valves-per-cylinder heads. The engine block serves as a load-bearing part of the chassis structure, yet is so strong that there is no distortion to the cylinder bores. Using dry-sump lubrication reduces the number of engine components and seals and also helps optimize weight and reliability.

The engine has a closed-deck configuration, a principle carried over from motorsports. This closeddesk architecture enables the cylinders to be cooled by internal water chambers that directly surround the cylinders. Three front-mounted radiators and cross flow cooling ensure optimum heat transfer even under high engine loads.

The engine weighs only 472 pounds (214 kg). The block, crankshaft and camshafts are all made of light alloys. The crankshaft is designed to operate at speeds of up to 8,400 rpm and is both forged and designed for minimum mass inertia and thus offers maximum torsional stiffness."

There are like 15 CGTs here now. If you ever get a hankerin' to see one just roll down Queen West almost any weekday between University and Bathurst; some guy drives a silver one back and forth every day. Heh.
