Carrera Gt Sighting

This afternoon I saw a silver Carrera GT on Balba Blvd. and Rinaldi Street in the north San Fernando Valley. Anyone know of one in that area? Seen them at the car shows but, its really nice to see one in the streets!

I wouldn't doubt that there is one tooling around Cali, I can't wait to see one in carbon here in Houston. I saw a diablo last weekend, it was pretty cool, but couldn't compare to a CGT.

I believe there's two in the valley that are actually being driven. One is the silver you mentioned and there's also a black one somewhere in Encino / Sherman Oaks area that I've seen cruising Ventura Blvd. a few times. L.A. is THE place to spot exotic machinery being driven like any other car, I've seen 3 Enzos on the road, more Gallardos than I can already count and Murcielagos galore on the weekends.

i know of two on the road in soCal. one I saw on the fwy, tim allen driving, the car is black. another was sold by the dealer here in pasadena, i tried talking him into a test drive of their GT3 but no go, he mentioned he sold a carrera gt and i should stop by to check it out. i dont know who the owner is but it's a silver one, looks darn good.

ln LA it`s either that or a Prius and the Prius waiting list is shorter

THAT THING IS WIDE!!! You couldn't make an MR2 that wide ... without it looking as obvious as a Laser 917 GT!

I saw a silver one on US 290 between Austin and Frederickburg, heading West about a month ago!

Yeah, the silver one. I have seen it twice in the twisties in the Santa Monica Mts. Yeeeeeah, people from around here, you know which road. Man, twice he was going the other way. Jeff socal

Fantastic! I saw a silver one, looked like it was spinning about 5 degrees over the middle of the Franklin mountains, it descended slowly, stayed put for a short while and then ...whoosh... up and away in a fearful raucous scream.

Ooops...ok, I'm awake now...rude!

(question: in what town was that UFO sighted???)

My brother saw one in the South of France. It was entering the "Estate" of some Russian thief, I mean Oligarch. He said it sounded INCREDIBLE, just like an F1 car.

About 2 weeks ago I was at Boardwalk Porsche picking up
my red car. A CGT was being delivered to it's new owner.
Porsche sent a factory tech. to go over everything on the
car with the new owner. I had a chance to look the car over,
it was unbelievable. I had no idea it had spin-off hubs, and
tons of cool looking carbon fiber.
The owner looked to be about 65yrs. old, he said he will only
drive it 3 or 4 times a year. I was green with envy!!
The car was Black on Black!

I drove alongside a Gallardo on the 101 the other day and must admit it looks and sounds great! Have also seen "the" silver CGT on Mulholland. It makes my daily 50 mile commute a tad more pleasant to drive thru the mountains and along the coast with these kinds of highway companions to listen to and look at
