You are right. It’s not the car’s fault. If you go into a corner too hot in a rear wheel drive car without traction control, the last thing you should do is lift on the gas. The weight that is keeping the rear wheels planted on the pavement suddenly shifts forward, causing the rear wheels to lose traction and around you go. Earlier 911s got a bad reputation for doing this because TC had not been invented yet and untrained drives would buy them and go out and kill themselves. It was always blamed on the car because the engine is behind the rear axle. This might be somewhat true but you had to know the car’s limitations. Just because it was a Porsche did mean you could corner at any speed you wanted.
Couldn't have said it better myself. It's nice to see someone who knows what they are talking about.
Watch dde their gt suspension gave up while driving
An excellent answer👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Regardless, this wouldn't scare someone like Walter Rohrl. Dude drove Group B in a rear wheel drive Lancia 037 and is a freaking legend. The car is a little bit shit.
*DIDN’T mean
I feel like the CGT and the original Vipers were basically similar. Very power cars that had no safety. And as such, it caught the appeal of many car enthusiast and such. And many car drivers I feel like overestimated their control of the car. They were fast af go karts
Yea it would suck not having abs like the original viper
True there are cars that are dangerous only in foolish hands and cars that are dangerous
I kind of think of the air cooled 911. Those were about as minimalist as it got, and required a certain skill to handle.
@@ChadKenova vipers got a 6 pack of abs
@@skylinefever spin out from aggressive yaw inducing steering
I got overtaken by one on the motorway once. I never thought I would ever see one on the road!
@Peter Angles yeah
I was lucky enough to see one through the window of a dealer. Only 1,270 units so what are the odds I see one again
@@vladimirchervenkov6949 Saw one up close and personal back in 2004 sitting at a dealership.. And also heard a crazy story about it! Turns out, the dealership screwed up the order (got the wrong color) and the person who ordered it - refused to purchase. So the dealership was stuck with it at that point...
I don't think that they are actually that rare, considering the more than 800 hundreds of certified CGT engineers and mechanics commenting on this video in the space of just nine days.
Oh dude you were blessed that day.
One big problem with a C-GT, the rear shock setup, check the retainer set screws at the bottom end of the coilovers and make sure they are set correctly and tight. If you lose a rear shock due to this problem, you'll most definitely be heading off road and possibly into a tree or building.
Someone recently watched daily driven exotics
@@zachblevins1 happened to multiple people before, including Jay Leno
My 10 yr ownership of a cgt says BS. These shock stories - "they bleed" etc. etc is BS.
@@richardthelionheart5594 sure
Yeah, let me go down to my garage and do that now... 🙃
Everyone: Porsche Carreara GT is barebone and unsafe
Meanwhile first gen viper owners: you call that unsafe, then what the hell are we
i think they are about damn equal for killing you if you fuck up
Both will kill if such person doesn't know what they're doing/ gotten themselves into. I'll say the Carrera GT, vipers (mostly first gens) and TVRs are the most dangerous cars on the road
You: first gen viper is unfafe
Pinto: heh cute (proceeds to explode)
Unfinished?
How the fuck do you compare a 1 mil car with a 50k car?
I knew 2 actual race drivers that had them. they both said it was the closest thing to their race car that hey have ever driven in a street car.
I always thought the viper was the most dangerous car ever made, but now maybe i'll change my mind
There's another car. The TVR
Viper a close second
First... Learn how to drive the car you're about to purchase or embark upon.
viper definitely killed more poeple.
The LFA also have a bad history of crashing. The CGT on older tires still is faster in the ring. The problem with the cars is 1 the tires 2 people forget is a racecar. You can comfortably cruise in the CGT but it is still a race car and that's why people get fooled.
Great explanation you broke it down perfectly. I have had the pleasure as a Porsche technician to drive several of these and the 918 and there is nothing like the CGT in this world it's a amazing car but takes a huge amount of respect and experience to really enjoy it. And I have had several customers argue with me about why they need tires and they haven't driven the car for several years.
I absolutely adore my CGT. Hands-down my favorite street car I own and have had the opportunity to drive. I'm glad that this video points out that while the car is "dangerous", it's only the case when people drive above their limits, or do things that are human error. This car is an absolute blast to drive, sounds amazing, and looks great. It'll be in my garage (unless I'm out driving it...b/c who keeps these things in a garage when you could go drive it - what a waste!) until the day I die.
Liar
@@jeffdriscoll6096 lying about what? It is the best car in my experience.
@@jeffdriscoll6096 he's legit
@@jeffdriscoll6096 I work at the dealer, And I’ve worked on mazers CGT.
Yes!👍🏿
Damon Fryer from DDE had a mechanical failure on the rear suspension system in his CGT like a week ago. He said the car's rear end felt like it went sideways. Then questioned if that could have happened to Paul Walker's CGT. It was a common failure in the component but Porsche never recalled it.
Nope, the scene investigation report clearly showed that that crash was caused by taking a corner at a way too high speed with a "tuned" car that was on old tyres and that had not been serviced by a qualified Porsche mechanic in several years. The multiple attempts from both Paul Walker's and Roger Rodas' families and fans made to blame it on Porsche are pretty lame.
But it kind of figures with the very popular US culture of not accepting any responsibility and always trying to shift blame. The Porsche Carrera GT was sold as "the closest experience to a racecar that's road legal you can buy" and it came with the explicit warning that the driver needed to be extremely high skilled because the car was "no compromises at all." Yet a lot of Americans with more money than driving skills bought it, crashed it and then blamed Porsche for selling them "an undriveable car." And in my opinion pretty ignorant judges validated their claims.
He also didnt read the manual and left the spoiler up like an idiot, something he told Jay Leno the other day when he pulled up with his NSX, which jay while polite was like why would you leave it up in the up position.
which caused a failure on the car
@@tjroelsma I found the porche PR rep.
@@jesseflores9087 Great, where is he?
@@tjroelsma it's like CNN say's that you need you vaxine 1-2-3 time (covid ) just saying that maybe it could be a caus or not but did they really focus on the rear suspension... or the easyer way speed and old tyres or , i remeber when i was young how i loved tire that had no more tread on it on sunny day . did you ever try or did CNN ever talk you about it ^^ Porsche know the failure and dont even recall that's a major problem . and if you dont see the video of DDE just take a look by yourself
0:46 Ben Chen was very intoxicated; the car did not fail. He was very intoxicated, hence why he continued to drive for blocks after the initial crash and even got back into the car and tried to drive off while police officers were on scene. He could also be seen stumbling around after the crash. It had nothing to do with the car being “dangerous” or failing it simply had to do with BC being extremely intoxicated and making extremely poor and dangerous decisions as a result.
yeah it was all over the news, not only that it’s not his first crash with an expensive car,
it says a lot about the rest of his research...
Explain the other wrecks????
@@ruskiyify91 there were a lot of inaccuracies…
@@gaddyify BC’s other wrecks or the other CGT wrecks?
In the case of BC he’s generally quick to run out of skill and will drive in a completely reckless manner endangering those around him. Just like when he wrecked a McLaren that wasn’t his
Nice to have all the details of one of The best that Porsche ever made explained in easy terms.
Instead of dragging on, you could've just said that porsche built their version of viper.
I've got 2 Vipers & yes they're VERY Dangerous, the Gen. II is much more so than the Gen. V just because of all of the upgrades on the Gen. V! JMO
To think about it, 10:19 is literally the footage of Paul Walker burning in that inferno. It’s heartbreaking. Apparently in his autopsy report they found smoke inhalation in his respiratory system, which means the crash didn’t kill him, the fire did.
Did he Survived or Passed away??
@@TheRealAli_Real Passed away.
Faulty information. Ben Chen was on drugs and speeding around on wet pavement, not his first reckless crash in a supercar. And James Dean didn't lose control or crash his car, he was in a head on collision due to the sun being low in the sky and the drivers couldn't see each other..
My favourite car of all time. Some of the issues with the handling were caused by the original tires which were not really up to the job. Michelin came out with some revised tires a few years ago and apparently makes the high speed handling more predicatable.
True. But it is a one off experience. So visceral, so real. Hang on and enjoy the ride.
1:01 Race in Paradise Paul Walker and Roger Radas🕊️😭
Paul Walker's a chomo you shouldn't celebrate him. He only got away with it because he's rich and handsome. He was dating a girl when she was 14 years old and he was 25. There wasn't a big stink about it because her parents were totally okay with her their daughter dating a handsome movie star he groomed her till she was 18 and then married her.
I am lucky enough to experience been a passenger in one of those. The owner is a really good friend of mine that owns a few rare cars. The GT is the only one he doesn’t let anyone drive other than him. And after been a passenger I see why. I have never been on a stock car where you have to counter steer as much as you have to on that car.
I’ve got one, and while it’s definitely a heart pounder at the top end, it’s also just a dream to drive casually. The suspension is so supple and the cabin just feels perfect. Gear changes are smooth after second, and the the revs come so damn fast. I really don’t think that it’s as “dangerous” as everyone says, I think people are mostly bad drivers. My SLS GT is more likely to go sideways.
Advertising in disguise. All carbon frame, yes? Means in a crash, your bones are protecting the car.
You own a Carrera GT AND an SLS AMG? What do you do for a livin
@@iFigure Probably a family owned corporation.
Ben Chen was wasted and crashed his GT multiple times on the streets of New York. He also had the right lawyers and "connections" to get out of being charged. His mention in this video is an insult to the automotive community.
He also left the country on his Daddy's private jet very soon after.
@Clémoki26 that wasnt a normal carrera gt....it was a gemballa cgt god knows how much that car costs now
Justice is fraudulent and if you have enough money, you can just pay off the judge, prosecutor,, and state.
just like Hulk Hogans kid whatever his name is
The correct name of the test driver is Walther Röhrl. He´s a living legend, drove Monsters like Audi S1 Pikes Peak and Group B. At the age of 66 he sets the record lap at Nürburgring Nordschleife in a Porsche 918
Walter Röhrl
This car almost killed DDE superstar 2 days ago when the coilover backed out of its threads, which has been a common failure point in this car.
I have been around since the CGT was released and know many who own them. I have never heard of this problem by anyone. It could be the car that DDE has was not maintained properly or just needed the coilovers replaced since the cars are getting up there in age.
@@speed_and_motion so you saying Jay Leno for telling Damon from DDE weeks before too make sure the shocks are replaced
@@timberlinecline3667 no I would say that it is something that could be wear and tear as the car ages. When Jay Leno spun it it wasn’t due to the shocks, it was driver error. DDE drives their cars hard so if this is in fact a common issue then they should have had it checked out during a PPI before they bought the car or taken measure after delivery to have them fixed.
Damon beats on his card like a moron. One day one of them cars he breaks on a constant cycle is going to kill him, and to be honest the way he drives on public roads I dare say he has it coming. I just hope he doesn’t take out some innocent person just going about their business in a civilised manner
The coil-overs are on a canti-lever also there is no lock screw to hold the rings in place. Over time they back out and pull it's self apart. By design it's flawed from the factory
You can add to the list any high-performance exotic on old tires (more than 6 years). Also add almost any exotic car that rarely gets driven by anyone who rarely drives hard driving in an aggressive manner in places they should not be doing so (yes absolute driving skills translate, but if you're used to car X, it isn't too hard to get caught out by car Y if it has unique handling characteristics).
Oh and I would say any number of TVRs are more dangerous than the Carrera GT.
New subscriber! Wow! Loved your video! Great work, can't wait to see more!
The Ford Bronco II was so unsafe Geico refused to insure them. Now that's a death machine.
And yet we all love to drive this dangerous beauty, and listen to the most amazing engine sound ever.
First gen vipers : oh boy you have no idea.
Great vid Brad!!!!
Just like the original viper, no fancy tech just pure power,
Even DDE had the unfortunate experience
Yea Suspension is fragile
The DDE CGT didn't crash. It had a mechanical issue. Every car has issues.
@@nekethoms9963 suspension broke while driving
@@RCLepcha well obviously Einstein. It happens on daily basis buddy
@Neke Thoms and what happens when you're racing and have a mechanical failure. It's called a crash dumb ass. So, if DDE was racing and the suspension had a mechanical failure, please explain what happens next.
Thank you for your very refreshing honesty.
"Give the knife to a child and get ready to dial 911.." I see what you did there hehehe.
Sadly, the CGT never had a proper set of tyres - and Walter Rohl has stated that the only issue with the CGT is this lack.
The CGT has never killed anyone. But people have killed themselves in CGTs. This is a very important distinction. If you claim the CGT has killed people, then you also need to accept that Ferraris and Lamborghinis also kill a lot of people.
But we know people kill themselves in supercars - NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!
Well said! (Went looking for this type of comment before posting a similar "guns kill people" type comment) ... a very simplistic argument presented in the video that could apply to everything from electricity to LEGO...
This is why I like to ask "What car kills the most people when they maintain it properly and obey traffic laws?"
@@skylinefever We're in the 'it's not MY fault' era. Always blame somebody else seems to be the SOP these days.
Good video. I drive all these fun cars for a living but the CGT always spooks me to drive. Not necessarily because I think it will crash but it just feels fragile. The delicate clutch,the wide carbon fiber rocker panels that you have try not to scratch etc etc.
Great show mate thank you
You might like to view the DDE channel and see a CGT fail its rear suspension under low Driving Conditions and no fault of the driver just a Part Failure letting go, if he was going any faster he would have been forced off the Road. And who knows what could have happened.
I was going to suggest that too... not only DDE one but a few others have had the exact same failure on their CGT
This is the first thing I thought of too.
And the Porsche tec on the channel said that he's seen 2 others and knows there has been more
@@scotth8831 oh yeh that's rite .. think that they should be recalled... does anyone know How many defective failures/ major faults it take before they recall a car? Because it seem like its a very big safety issue that hasn't been addressed
Fr trying to say driver error but the pos breaks because it has a failing part that would've easily make someone wreck, but he's probably paid by them to not down play them or tell actual truth🤦🏾♂️🤣
@Sted Snellings I doubt that, the car is a 16 year old car, I don't think they have liabilities anymore and definitely won't be paying him to down play it
Carrera GT = European's 1st Gen Viper
I always say cars don't kill people, it's the driver driving it that can kill people if in the wrong hands
Another one who compare a mil car with a 50k car :\
@@claudiuvma well they perform and act similar so what's the problem?
@@claudiuvma The comparison is that the car has no ABS, no traction control, RWD, and a crazy power to weight ratio.
good content as always.
it’s really not all that special. it’s just the actual race car on public road. that’s all that is. why it’s compromising the comfort and safety for speed and those who are skilled enough to control it. simply put, if all the race car companies put their race cars in production, you get this carera gt. …
Great video!
Still want one
Porsche Carrera GT is an awesome car
Cars are meant to be driven not sitting in a garage collecting dust until your too old
And going full out in a car that probably does spend its life in a garage isn’t smart to begin with
Everyone knows that
Also correct 00:35 that test driver drove a pre-production version. All production versions took his findings into consideration and applied them to the cars. Basically you're talking about poor maintenance to the car, causing it to be dangerous.
It almost killed Damon fryer from DDE
amazing video man
I love this video. Super cool!!
I like how they tried to make a million dollar Viper competitor. 💀
In terms of dangerous to drive they r comparable.Hell in the hands of an 18 yr old kid you could throw a GT mustang in there.

One day if the speed kills me don't cry because I was smiling RIP Paul 1973-2013
I would very much doubt that Paul walker was smiling when he was burnt to death in the accident, and if it hadn't been for the so-called so-called professional driver fool, Paul walker was a passenger, he would still be alive!
I'm one of those fortunate enough to own one of Porsche 911 Turbo S here in London for a couple of months now. It's amazing compared with my Range Rover as a birthday present from my parents which is 7 years old by now. Love your channel.
Porsche is like Kawasaki in that respect awesome machines designed to run and perform on the ragged edge. Pure adrenaline and power
I'm pretty sure the Ben Chen story was from outside influence. His car was a Gemballa (heavily modified) known as the Mirage GT. I don't think the actual car was attributed to his incident.
Poor guy couldn’t even walk or talk from how wasted , ehm scared he was from his car :D
@@michaelmahrik9946 😂
Yea he was heavily intoxicated, he’s also crashed multiple supercars
1 word…coke
Not only was he drunk but also coked up and not only crashed his gemballa GT once he took off from that scene (hit and run) he crashed it again into another car
Interesting take on the this model. It truly was a no-nonsense automobile that did not tolerate either fool or novice. This is a very specialize tool meant for only those with the proper skills necessary to survive the experiences this extreme expression in automotive engineering. I'll be the first to state I've no business owning one. It is far more than I could handle. Had I one it would be for show - not for driving. It also happens to be art in my opinion. I own several motorcycles. Among this is a Suzuki Hayabusa that remain pretty much stock. A few mods but nothing at all extreme. It is too much bike for me. As an owner I will never see the full potential of this bike, but that's not why I have it. I simply loves how it looks. I ride it occasionally and never very far or at anywhere near what is is capable of. I've not been past 120 on it and that was maybe twice. It is 23 years old this year and has but a little over 5K on the odometer. I'd rather look at it than ride it.
I have watched some youtube videos on the Hayabusa, I agree that is indeed a awesome bike with breath taking power, I am glad to see you are the type of owner that will be around many more years.
Have always loved the CGT. It is the one car, I'd buy if I had to money to fork over. Very informative video!
The CGT has become one my fav's!!!
Still the best porsche design ever
I like 918 more
One of my FAVORITES.. if I was able to acquire one.. first modification would be an ejection seat like a fighter jet.. 😁
Fair analysis. Ultimately, we as drivers are responsible for what we do behind the wheel, regardless of what's under the hood, what tires connect us to the road or what suspension keeps them there. The CGT is always going to be a special car no matter what owners do with them.

That’s my dream car as well bro! Good stuff Keep it going
James Dean didn’t lose control; he wasn’t even speeding. Another car didn’t see him and turned in front of him.
Right ! I think it was some guy driving a Nash. The Porsche that Dean was driving was small and a light silver color , highly reflective and would have looked very unfamiliar and virtually invisible at that time from a distance .
Still one of my favourite cars though. For track day blasting, the CGT is definitely the one to have. However, for everyday drive, I can't resist the McLaren Mercedes SLR.
once he said "lets kick it into overdrive with my dream car the porsche Carrera gt" I knew he was my best friend
You made some nice valid points! Cudos!
Ben Chen actually killed his CGT.
James Dean didn't loose control of his 550 Spyder, he was hit head on by a farmer in a Ford pickup truck with the sun in his eyes. It was neither the cars nor Mr. Dean's fault.
carrera gt isn't dangerous - it just allows the driver to access the full power of the car without restrictions. Get someone that can't drive in there, or give them really old tires, then it becomes dangerous.
And for that reason, it is my top 10 car of all time and I will own one, I love it.
The Sig,Roger Rodas & Jay Leno r all good drivers.If they had problems that speaks volumes..
Great video.
The soundtrack of the CGT is awesome!!
Rest in Peace Paul Walker. :(
The original 90s dodge viper was the most deadly car. 💯
Could l add if we’re on the subject of dangerous Porsches…..my early 1980’s 911 Turbo widow maker! Most dangerous thing I’ve ever driven in 50 years!
It has airbags, ABS and traction control, just not stability control. At the redline was 8,500 rpm.
Watch what happened to dde in a recent video. The suspension collapsed on the rear right side, causing the body to drop onto the tire and almost making Damon spin out into a tree. It isn't an isolated incident. The suspension hat loosened up and, once it got to a certain point, the stud ripped the threads out and dropped it. It's happened on multiple cgt's. It's possible that that failure combined with old tires is what caused Paul walker's death
I remember people saying there was fluid leading up to the crash site that evaporated? Possibly a torn brake line from such a failure? I still say it's Porsches fault. Garbage car designed incorrectly, glorified Volkswagen Beetle.
+ excessive speed and public roads is what mainly caused Walker's death
@@kajee7945 That's not totally true, the investigation blames roads that weren't completely dry and tires that hadn't been changed after 3 years of excessive driving. Also, nobody was on that road except Paul and Rodas so I'm not sure how it being a public road matters and from what I hear nobody ever drove down that road.
@@arcturus4317 From your reaction i can already see you don't have any considerations that public roads are known for having all kinds of bumps and crevises and pothole's wich you wouldn't find on most circuits around the world....plus if you look closely at the footage that was taken of the scene of the accident it clearly shows tree's posted next to the road they were driving ,wich is another aspect you wouldn't come across on a circuit but instead you would have barriers or run off space by means of sand traps for instance ! The driver was deffinately driving way too fast for the kind of road they were on at the time of the incident , period
@@kajee7945 Wrong, I've seen the videos of people driving that exact same road, there are no potholes or bumps. Read the official report. You think Rodas, a pro racer, wouldn't know the speed he needs for a corner? The speed would not have caused them to crash if the tires weren't worn out to the point they couldn't keep the grip.
I used to love this car until the Porsche 918 Spyder came about!
Absolutely! 918 Spyder is way better looking too.
I agree. As a Porsche enthusiast owner of two Porsches. Drive smart -- have fun. Drive dumb...
nice vid bro
"When you put good will out there it's amazing what can be accomplished."
-Pdub
James Dean didn't loose control of his 550 Spyder. He was hit by a young inexperienced driver
pulling out in front of him when he was at speed. Totally not JD's fault
No ABS or airbags? They need to get their facts right!
The only car closest to this I've ever driven was a Ford GT. A buddy of mine back in high school his grandfather at the time had bought him an 87 state trooper interceptor 5.0 mustang at auction And Modded it up even more. That car was insanely fast.
All analog RWD +600hp supercars pre-2010 were all killers especially the CGT and Enzo. I would never race them but keep them as garage queens.
Good news is the GTR changed everything in 2008 with its advanced electronics whereby everyone can race a supercar and not crash and die! And today, the Plaid baby! just waiting for the 4680 Roadster next year! 🔥🔥
U forgot the ccx that thing is scary without a wing on the back
Virtually ANY car (sports, muscle, super or hyper) can be a killer in the wrong hands or in the hands of an inexperienced driver.

Dangerous to Amateur drivers , Full Throttle on cold tires ? Just cause you can afford it does not mean you know how to drive
idk if your opinion is acceptable
well ur right😆
I once heard more than 10 CGT’s revving at the same time it gave me goosebumps, there’s something mighty about that car.
7:45, just an fyi - sold Porsches from 05 -09 @ Euroclassics in Richmond, Va. All Carerra Gt's had front driver and passenger airbags. Other than that, your video was fairly accurate. Was lucky enough to sit in one of our clients cars and actually hear that engine several times in the flesh. As good as it sounds on video, it is nowhere close to feeling the hair rise on your arms from the goosebumps you received from your eardrums vibrating to the pitch of the v10. Best automotive sounding road car ever. Period. 2nd imo is the f355 and 3rd is any Zonda with the mbV12.
What about the F50? It's interesting that you chose the F355 instead of it. It's all just a matter of taste and preference, but I've always found the F355 to sound a bit synthetic in comparison to the F50.
One of the early 911s were nicknamed the widowmaker. Looks like history repeats itself as the CGT is the widowmaker of the 21st century.
and if the car does not kill you, his price tag will
If I ever get a Carrera GT
I will put a sticker on the rear window: *Diapers are mandatory for passengers.*
Poor Paul, but I couldn't think of a cooler car to die in.
The CGT is truly a very very special car. It is like all the great cars ever made. Respect the limits and love the ride!
Damons suspension blew out while he was barely moving and his tire locked up and and he had to pull over and get it fixed.
What's that you say? A Porsche the Most Dangerous Road Car Ever?
Classic Porsche.
I liked and subscribed for the most wanted reference, when i was a kid i used the carrera gt to beat it, my favorite car of that game
If Damon fryer can rip it on a daily basis with no trouble the myth of this being most dangerous supercar has been debunked.
idk, he posted a vid the other day where the car messed up while he was driving it
I think you forgot to mention Ben Chen was extremely drunk and crashed his carerra GT on PURPOSE. MULTIPLE times. Plus he is Known to be drunk behind the wheel crashing extremely rare cars.
James Dean's crash didn't happen at high speed, and it wasn't his fault. He was essentially T-boned.
yeah if you read the details, it was a two way raod and some guy couldn't see james coming, so he made a left turn in front of his car and james hit him on accident 🤷♂ a 50s pickup truck vs a really light open air porsche with no airbags, no surprise it ended the way it did.
Well, well, well.
In the space of 9 days, it appears that there are more than 800 certified CGT engineers and mechanic specialists on UA-cam.
Porche killed a legend and still haven't recalled that o ring
even if its dangerous i dont give a fuck i would definetely drive one if i ever have the chance in my life, imo best car built in the 2000's
The problem is quite simple. The car is a flyweight for this powerful engine. For this engine, the car should have a weight of three tons in order not to lose contact with the road.
I knew this was a sepcial car the first time I saw it...and heard it. I worked in burlingame CA just off the 101 in the bay area and I drove past a porsche dealership that had one of these in the window, on a turntable. Beautiful. Then there was the one day heading to work, driving northbound 101 before redwood shores blvd and i hear this sound, that I can only describe as indy car like, behind me. I look in the rear view and i see this thing, a carrera gt weaving in and out of traffic and sounding like a banshee on the prowl. Silver of course...seems they dont look right in any other color. He passed and i tried to at least stay in sight ( my POS 1998 tacoma lol), not to even think of racing, but to hear that beast. What a day. He exited redwood shores, probably a big wig for Oracle or EA Sports, both being right off the highway there.
It,s the best looking German car of the last 20 years in my option. The sound is like the song of an angel. And the car is fast as hell its a masterpiece
