Haha ok ok...I had a customer once pull into my dealership with one...INSANE. That's the only way to describe the car and when he left I felt like I was listening to a formula one race car haha!

Nice sighting. There's a yellow one in my neck of the woods that I've seen a couple of times now. Beautiful car, but mostly I notice the sound as it pulled away from a light -- not racing or anything, just driving normally and producing a great sound.

About two weeks ago, driving home from work, I was behind a F430 and Gallardo who were driving together. These guys were moving a bit, but nothing crazy. Again, the cars looked great, but the sound of the engines were what stuck with me.

Oh, one more sighting / listening -- a Ford GT40 a while back. Might have been like a year ago. Now this was at nighttime so not a lot of traffic, and that dude was really moving out. The sound was just musical.

NYC is like it is around the wealthier suburbs of DC, I'm sure. On nice weekends, you're bound to see a few exotics being taken out for a spin.

Sweet car, 10 cyl. right? My last sighting was a Carrera GT3 RS, maybe 1/3 the price but that thing looked nice. Guy who got out of it looked like one of the guys on American Idol, pretty young.

Are Carrera GT's rare in NYC? They aren't exactly everywhere around here but you see one from time to time...

haven't seen one ever. But I've been seeing lots of bentleys here. They're like shrooms. LOL. Not that much but it's common.
