But, the most i've ever been yelled at for merely looking at a car *didn't touch it* is when i was at a local exotic car dealer in Tampa.
It was saturday so a few friends of mine and i just wanted to look at the cars for fun.
So we walk in and the manager gives us a sorta dirty look and we explain to him that we're just intrested in seeing the vehicles.

I love it, plus its fast as all hell, they def. dont call it a supercar for no reason, and i def. wouldnt rather but a 911, maybe a GT3, but that still wouldnt even compair to the Carrera GT

i would def. be buying multiple supercars with 50mil, not to mention modding the hell out of my trans am

In case any bodys intrested in an insder perspective, I have driven one (about 300 ft) and have been passanger on a test drive up to about 120 on a crowded city street (woodward ave for the locals) The entire car is carbon fiber, the under body pans (theres 3) are 50k for the set and they sit about 3 1/2 inchs from the ground think well be replacing a lot. The diff color locks are so they dont get mixed up side to side being that the tread is diffrent on each side, they also torque to 400 ft lbs.
The clutch is tricky, and the shifter oddly placed, its quite an ordeal to get into the car, especially with out dragging you feet on the body or the sill and scratching the cf. The engine at 7500 rpm is one of the sickest things I have heard (also about made me **** my pants) and the car flat out pulls, the owner couldnt shift and ground 2nd 2 or 3 times before he got it, 3rd was the same way. The seats are not really comfortable, you have poor side and rear visibility, its very difficult to enter and exit, curbs are its worse enemy right before driveways and pot holes. And I hope every one we sell gets taken home and put in the garage and never driven, I dont want to drive or work on them ever.
Car is badass, but for the money Id get a ling 650 tt and a nice shrine/garage for it.

Your right, his 448k is like 5k to us. I get more excited over a pinto with a built 350, and a roots blower!! LMAO
More of a realistic and tangable thing to me. Not syaing if someone gave me the keys, I wouldnt try and drive the **** outta it for 5-10 minutes.....
I actually really dont like the car. 911's and 944's are what I grew up to know as a Porsche.
But this things is a Robocop creation from hell.....LMAO Later guyz, have to get in a bunker....mortor attack....(I am in Iraq)
