Post Viva Las Vegas -- Carrera GT sighting

Just got back from Vegas, where I had some excellent car sightings.
Saw a silver GT cruising down the strip on last friday, it looked like it had a bunch of equipment inside it.
Didn't have enough time to grab the digicam out of my pocket before it was too late <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" /> , but the car looked incredible in person -- the proportions seemed rather long, even after reading so much about it.
I thought they hadn't started delivery yet, and if so, was this car just around for magazines to test or what???

Next, saw a blue Murcielago at the Palms, with Sacramento Kings stiching on the inside. That's one mean car in person.

Finally, and best of all, saw a red Enzo Sunday morning and was able to snap a few pics while leaning out the window of a cab.

sorry the images are so big, in a hurry and didn't bother to resize

ROFL. I bet it made that guy's day in that Think (or whatever that golf cart thing is) to pass an Enzo.

I think the Enzo is wonderful, really built for a purpose and still looking good.

Aspire,
I saw two Carrera GT's on the Strip 6/26 (Thursday) around 7pm. Flew down there for a couple hours of gambling, and as soon as I hit the strip I see a yellow one followed by a silver one. I couldn't get the digicam out in time either!!!

I saw a black one driving around the test track at Weissach just few weeks ago. It had all kinds of antennas and stuff attached to it... looks like they're still fine-tuning it

Those are quite the sightings! Amazing I never get to see anything of that caliber where I live.

Those Carrera GT's that people have been seeing around are likely the same ones that were seen testing in Death Valley. There are pictures on the net but the website with the full sized pictures is down now. There was a yellow, black, and silver Carrera GT. The yellow one looked almost exactly the production model while the other two had some strange things like 993 mirrors and '80's style tail lights.

the Enzo looks a million times better in person, especially in black
