| | | Carerra GT sighting----thought I'd share.
I was coming home from work yesterday and noticed there was a VERY low profile car behind me with a VERY wide stance and I was like "what the heck is that"? Well, I slowed down and this is what pulled up next to me! This is the exact car:  
My area is not know for having very many (if any) supercars, so needless to say I was freakin' out. I had my new Canon Rebel XT with me but I couldn't get it quick enough to snap a pic.  This one is $440,000(I think)

| | What part of FL are you from? Cause their all over down here, mothers friend has a black one. I didn't care for it at first (looks wise), but driving it, what a car, the feel, the sound etc. Clutch is not bad at all so don't know why so many people had issues with it saying it's undriveable, little more senstive then normal clutches that's all. When we went up to Sebring a few times to race he brought his CGT out to play, very quick on that track  . Dealer down here, Champion, one of the techs had one out for "testing" (probably joy riding) awhile ago, spun of 95' into a ditch, ouch, sure that client wasn't happy.

| | | A friend of mine who deals in exotics cars has a new 2005 silver Carerra GT that has never been titled. He has had it and been trying to sell for over a year now. I took it for short drive about 3 months ago. Orginally he wanted $457,000. I bet he would sell it now for under $440,000. One thing I find hard to believe about the car is the plastic parts on the dash. The whole car is carbon fiber including most of the interior then they put cheap looking plastic on the dash. Also the wood shift nob does go very well in a high tech car. The car has the exact same brembo brakes as my lambo but comes with ceramic brake discs which I really like. I wish Lambo offered them. I see another silver one and a black one around Cape Coral all the time.

The ceramic disks reduce the unsprung weight and brake fade but need to be hot to really work well. I am still perplexed as to why anyone would want them on a street car. Anybody know if they need to be replaced when the pads are?
Does not mean I would not take the car, very 907 ish look.
