Porsche Carrera GT
Popped into JCT600 in Leeds today and they have a silver grey one in the showroom. Absolutely beautiful machine. Lots of other stuff to dribble over but even a Fezza F430 looked ordinary compared to the GT. It was the only car without a price on it too......

I briefly drove one back on Aril this year and it was hard work after being behind the wheel of a 430 with an F1 flappy paddle gearbox.
GT has a small, light clutch (more like an on/off switch) i am told and it was a bi*ch to pull away in, you had to balance the revs between 3-7K and let it upo SLOWLY - still stalled it more times than i care to remember.
Great on the move and the engine note makes the 430 seem really tame and weedy.
Finish outstanding along with the nice luggage included. Liked the interior but hard to get into for a fat bloke like me.
Performance was impressive to say the least, manual gearbox in the one i drove was stiff but the car was new(ish)
If i had to choose between the GT and an Enzo (whicch is comparible in most ways) i would have the Enzo as that was easier to drive day to day. Having said that i cannot afford either
Nice mota
