Just kidding, But one of my very best clients just got this car a couple days ago. All I can say is

SWEEEEEEEET !

Its not very often that I really get excited over a new car anymore but this one had me super excited!! Sticher shock of over $565K I cant wait to take it for a spin :D

Here are a couple pix

These pix dont even come close to doing the car justice, there is more carbon fiber on this car than any other I have ever seen. Even the floors are carbon fiber with a patch of carpet. This is a serious car and hardly streetable.

Dont mind the dirt on the floor I took th epictures before we cleaned it.

Here is a link to a video with sound showing the tach andhow quick it revs. I was barey gassing it because it was cold.

Keep in mind I was still nervous and waaaaaaayyyy excited about this car when I did the video and pictures. Also the video was taken on my digital camera so the quality isnt the best.

Those of you on dial up these might not be very user friendly....sorry.

It made my day and screwed it up at the same time. I couldnt get that thing out of my mind all day. It is at least 100 times sweeter than it looks in the pictures.

I will take some pictures of it again after I polish it out it has a few spots that need attention ( typical dealer stuff )....yep even on a 1/2 milloin dollar car. The finish iis very nice but there are a couple polish marks on it.

I've seen that car many times along with Enzos and many other exotics. There's this place called Crystal Cove in Dana Point/Newport Beach where all the exotics meet every Saturday from 6-9 A.M. I've been there a few times and saw everything you can imagine.....enzos, carrera gt, saleen s7, murcielago, a lot of Ferraris and Porsche, along with classics.

If you haven't been there, I highly recommend you should go.

That thing sounds like a CHAMP car! That is the sickest idle I have heard on a street car. Where do you get these clients Brian?

Right place at the right time? And a little luck. When I met them they didnt have any super cars or elites just your basic mercedes with no customizing. I have been doing their cars for almost 5 years now.

I have seen one other GT, but nothing compares to having the keys in your hand and free run to look and explore the vehicle as you please. If I hadnt been able to really check it out I wouldnt have been nearly impressed. There is soo much to look at that isnt readily aparent when you are just checking out someones ride.

In the last 2 days I have done a few SWEET vehicles

Carrera GT
996 Turbo
Ferarri Marenello
Modded sl 500
BMW Z8
Modded Escalade

And a bunch of other average high end cars :D
