Where did all the Carrera GTs go ?

[Wilhelm]

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.

Oh..what was the You Tube video about. Sounds interesting.

Apparently so.

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.

Roger that. Sounds good on the canyon road and in the tunnel (looked like Kanan Road to me) . But that display on the streets around Beverly Hills....not so good. Must be "new money". But I admit, if I could afford a Carrera GT..it would be hard to hold back.

No it wouldn't. Because you're not an a**hole.

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.

The guy that killed himself in one of those top speed road races in Nevada or something?

Carrera GT's are ugly. Period.

[DanielDudley]

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........

[slow&rusty]

I keep mine garaged most of the year but will take it out to Cars and Coffee occasionally.
