Where did all the Carrera GTs go ?
Up until maybe a year or 2 ago, I would see a Carrera GT on the Freeway or on one of the local canyon roads every couple of weeks or so. I havent seen one on the road in a good long while now. Have they all become garage queens already ?
|
Lucky you. Only place I have ever seen one is on YouTube... and it wasn't complimentary to the Porsche marque.
|
I used to see a few driving around but similarly haven't in quite a while. I suspect most have either been relegated to garage queen status or crashed by now.

Weird!
Why today my Son and I went to the Porsche dealership. -There was a CGT parked outside for all to salivate on . It was in for maintenance . Talked to a shaguar sales guy. Never seen one before and thought it'd be a bit bigger. -Nice, though. Small cabin nice rear sighting. Shame Porsche doesn't focus on engine details. Cheaper I guess. That goes along with all the rear engines. |
Parked next to one at the last Supercar Sunday I attended. But I don't see them on the street too often anymore.

This is the video I was thinking of. And don't get me wrong... I would give my left one to own one of these. Just wouldn't use it as an auditory weapon on the street. Maybe. :p |

Most are garaged due to the cost of a tune up!
Soneone was driving Jerry Seinfeld's at Cars and Coffee in Irvine a couple of weeks back! |

That video is of VR Alexander, no? That guy acted like a real d-bag attention whore.

Carrera GT's are ugly. Period.
|
Even the great Walter Rohrl admits now that he could have been faster at the 'Ring in a CGT if they were more forgiving. Sad really to see another super expensive Porsche flagship with insufficient development.
|
There's one that I occasionally see driving around town, and another that I saw at my dealer service department when the buyer of my last 996 was getting a PPI. They didn't even put it in the same service area with the "common" Porsches, it was totally segregated. Wichita isn't supercar city, but I see far more new Ferraris and Lambos here than CGTs.
I think they're appreciating in value, correct? Probably a lot of folks just sitting on them to keep the miles low. It's a damn shame........ |
I keep mine garaged most of the year but will take it out to Cars and Coffee occasionally.
