Just passed a Carrera GT in Malibu

Looked like a father & son out for a little drive. Silver with 'Boxster Red' interior. I think it was the one from Auto Gallery -- where they had turned down an offer for $100K over sticker. Wonder what it finally sold for?

The sound of the car is pure audio heroin.

Indeed, I heard McKenna take his through the paddock and around the track at Fontana. It had a very distinctive sound, like nothing I've heard before.

I'm glad you got to hear it for yourself.

A capitalist pig out wasting precious fossil fuel .... no doubt.

A CGT was running against some 962's, 917's, etc. at Rennsport II. It was doing a fair amount of passing!

where'd you dig up that f-1 motor???

Yep I think it is still an Auto Gallery dealer car; I have seen it around the Mullholland & Las Virgenes area myself. Sweeeeet sounding car.

I think I saw the same car pass a bunch of friends and I on the 405 going north. It was about 30 car lengths ahead at one point and I could still hear it when he was gassing it. Father and son, I want to say European descent based on the darker skin tone...sound like the same couple of people?

uhh, dunno what part of Europe you're referring to, but us midlanders are pretty pasty

Yup. Prolly just well-tanned beachy types.

Thats possible too...woulda been a pretty dark tan from what I remember

Mckenna is a pretty tan guy...his CGT is black.

I remember when I saw the car at Fontana, McKenna's little boy was standing on the front passenger seat eating a hot dog...

You may want to consider parts other than Europe as well.

not the 1 from Auto Gallery, that one has a black interior.

You're right! I saw that the day it came in, and I would have noticed the red interior. This was brighter than Boxster Red and it looked like there was some suede/alcantera in it.

However, it did have an Auto Gallery (chromed logo) plate on it.
