I was walking through the infield tunnel at the Glen yesterday before the start of the IRL race when a seal gray GT comes through before I could get my camera ready. Damn, talk about big ass tires! That thing was beautiful.

 

I desperately want to see one in person.

It's the only supercar I haven't seen in person yet.

 

You mean Carrera GT? There's a dealer on LI that has one in their showroom for the longest time..

 

Yeah Shoofin, Carrera GT--gorgeous. My brother who is somewhat car stooopid, sez "What the hell is that?" thinking it was a Ferrari at first (close).

 

I have seen them couple of times around Danville, CA area.....I was surprised to see how small they were

 

Of all of us you should know better: Pics first, thread second.

 

i saw one while i was washing my car. i heard it before i saw it.. some old guy was driving it.. it was nice.. silver with red trimming on the seats..

 

meh

 

That car is my unicorn. I've never seen one, I barley missed one at the Ferrari dealership. They said "We had a Carrera GT in this morning, you just missed it!"



THey showed me the Enzo in the back though

 

Theres one in the window at the dealership here...Once a week we take a stroll by and stare and drool....I will get my friend to take a pic of it with his phone....definatley a hot car...

 

There are a bunch in my area, there never were too many supercars around here untill this past year, i guess its because the CGT is pretty much the only supercar you can get serviced in MN, everything else you have to send to a shop that isnt ferrari/lambo certified or you gotta send it to chicago.. i dont know what color i like more, they look amazing in every color!

 

Guards Red. Without a doubt

 

He had to purchase 3 other ones just to qualify.

I'm serious.

no, he's never given me a dime.

 

3 other CGT's or just 3 other porsches???

 

I saw one too, it was yellow, sounded sick as hell. It was on labor day, and it was zooming by UCLA. Sick sight indeed.

 

You're thinking of the Ferrari Enzo, and that wasn't true for that car either. Yes, having Ferraris in your automobile portfolio helped your chances of being selected, but you didn't *have* to own a Ferrari previously. I could go order a Carrera GT right now if I had the money, you only have to "qualify" for a loan.

 

i heard the same thing about the f50...that you had to own a ferrari before...i didnt think it was true although it probably helped with getting first word of its release. oh well

 

I saw a seal grey GT last week on the showroom floor of a porshce/audi dealer I was at....it still had all the protective crap on the seat and dash..

I tried to open it and it was locked

 

Actually, to buy the enzo at MSRP and from the dealer, you had to be a previous owner. At first you had to of owned a F40 or F50. But now, anyone can go buy one, you just gotta pay a million +





and yes, anyone can go buy a CGT, and there are a TON available cause they are selling like shit

 

No I'm not. I've been to his garage, I've driven the GT3, Targa, and his convertible. He owned a Targa, and had to buy more to get "in." He actually told me if I come out again (17 mile drive area), that I can drive the GT. He did give me a ride.

But he won't give me a dime.

 

Get the hell out there!!!

 

Either you were lied to or he was. You didn't have to buy anything to get the Carrera GT. He may have done so to get his name earlier on the list, but like I said, I've never bought a Porsche before and I could go buy a CGT from the dealer right now.

 

Maybe, but that's what he told me and the rest of us drooling nephews.

We are still blown away by this. His cars before he purchased the '97 Targa (b-day gift from Grandpa). Were a Ford 15 passenger van, an old 70's Benz 450sl, and that's about it.

 

i see it alot down here in irvine, ca....he lives in the apt complex next to me. only in the oc would someone buy a car before a house.

 

my friends father has one....its AMAZING
