In my stock Syclone. No suprises. Was filling up at Amoco and the (assuming) owner of the station came by to show off his car to his buddies. He said it was $500,00.00. It was silver and very loud. Mostly carbon fiber, including parts of the engine (in the rear), interior, and exhaust. It had 19" rims in front and 20" out back. Tires looked like 3 of mine put together. It said 3605 lbs on the gross weight sticker. Guy said it has 605 hp, and 3 seconds 0-60. No need to describe race, was toying around out of respect. Sorry for short story, I am very sick. Peace.

I wish I could run into one of those on the road. Only one I've seen was at Car & Drivers 50th anniv. party. And it did sound sick.

Re: Lost to a Porsche Carrera GT
$500k and it takes 3 sec. to go 0-60? That does it, my Sy is for sale.... the first $250k takes it. :lol:
I'm always amazed people drive cars like this on the street when at the next intersection a $3250 Taurus with a cell phone using - lipstick putting on - Big Mac eating driver could wack him.

Re: Lost to a Porsche Carrera GT
Two of the mov videos at this link http://www.northeastsyty.com/videos/autox/ are of a Carrera GT at the C&D 50th. I'm on a junk ass computer at work, and I can't download the videos to see which ones are which. This pos still has a turbo button if that tells you anything. You can hear it though, and it sounds gooooooodd.

Re: Lost to a Porsche Carrera GT
Looks to be movies #514, 515, 525. I've seen a C-GT around here. It does sound nice.
Lots of wrx tire smokin in the other movies there. Fun to watch. But (maybe its me), the front end of that 2006 sti is horrendous; looks like that @$$ ugly b9 Tribeca suv. :roll:

Re: Lost to a Porsche Carrera GT
I would never feel bad if I lost to a C-GT they are sick little cars. V10 Mid/RWD 6 speed with 612HP and 435ft-lb in a 3000lb car thats sweet. I think 0-60 is actually 3.8 sec and 1/4 is 11.4 and top speed 205mph yes! But for $500,000 I think I would rather go with the Lingenfelter 427TT 8 something 1/4 :tup:

Re: Lost to a Porsche Carrera GT
The WRX was drivin by WRC driver Petter Solberg. I was signed up to ride with him, but he went through 2 sets of tires in an hour so I had to settle in an Audi S4 with editor Tony Swan. Not hot on Audi's, but that S4 was much quicker than I expected. Wish it was an RS4, that would have been even better.

Re: Lost to a Porsche Carrera GT
I've seen two different Carrera GT's running around the South Bay over the past month or so. Can't wait to line up for a 0-100 blast with one...like that'll ever happen, ha ha. If it does, I'll surely post it here like my Diablo race. Sweet car, but $500K? C'mon...that's retarded.
