I'll be right around the corner from the Spectrum at the Double Tree for the next 10 days starting tomorrow. Cool place.

Power - Holly S**T. You are thrown back in the seat and keep there. Make my Vette seam like my old BMW 330ci in comparison.

EXTREMELY hard to get in/out. The step-in must be 2.5 - 3 time wider then the Vette.

Will not go over a speed bump.

Close as in Irvine but actually closer to John Wayne Airport.

That car does nothing for me! It looks like a big waste of money!

Porsche should concentrate on building regular over-priced cars & not over-priced Exotics!!!

We are publically traded, I am assuming it is still owned by the company. I am not going to say where I work on a public forum. You can see why. But I also have a feeling that the BODs probably voted to get him that car. At the time, he deserved it, big time. But the people who know me, know where I work.

Just kind of curiosity, how much would be the inssurnce cost on this Carrera GT?
I thought people buy it for collection, and not to drive it in the street.

Sorry about the picture quality. It was taken with my camera phone.
My boss have 5 Corvettes. 56, 65, 68, 76 and 94, plus a 911, Viper, and the lowest milage Bricklin in the USA.

That's easy to say when you can't afford one. I'd give both nuts to own a Carrera GT!

What does being able to afford one or not have to do w/it being appealing to me???

I can't afford a Lambo Murc or Ferrari Enzo, but I drool over those! I just don't get the same feeling I get looking at the Porsche, as I do other super Exotics!

Didn't mean to offend - maybe I should have included a couple of these guys....

Assuming he takes care of it, the Company will likely lose less money on the Modena than if they purchased him another car. Of course, he has to take the use of the car into his income, but that doesn't sound like it would be a problem.
