Default Saw my first Carrera GT on the road!

Not much else to report, sadly, other than:

It looks great in person. IMHO better than in pictures. I was on my way home from the airport in one of those parking shuttle vans and we ended up behind one at an intersection. The GT turned right and FLOORED it on the way to an onramp. Holy crap did it move out fast and the sound was UNBELIEVABLE. Closest thing to an F1 car I have heard on the street.

We had a Carrera GT show up to our POCONO DE event last weekend.

WOW!

Hopefully it was driven capably and you were able to see its true potential? Unlike, say, most Ferrari's at Tracquest events LOL

I saw one a few months ago on the road. It was going the other way. I was lucky not to have caused an accident looking at it.

I was glad I was in the parking shuttle so I could gape without trying to drive... OTOH, in my car I could have drag raced him LOL NOT.

A guy sitting next to me on the shuttle said "Is that a new turbo?". I tiried not to sound too patronizing when I answered with "errrr no that's the New Carrera GT, >$400k, >600HP, etc."...

Saw / heard one leaving Placerville, CO screaming up the canyon toward Dallas Divide this September. What a concert bouncing off the canyon walls. JK
