Carrera GT

[alexr40]

I went to one of my customers to give them some service and the owner just bought this inexpensive slow car

Porsche Carrera GT.. Somewere in the 600HP stock. The disc brakes/rotors are almost like my 18"rims of my Lightning.

What kind of service? oke:

Sweet.
They're actually about 550bhp stock.
Great cars, some of the best supercars in the world. harder to drive than the enzo (which is good - it's a supercar it should have a learning curve, which the enzo doesn't)
Clutch is designed to work everytime. Ceramic clutch. many supercars can do 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, but can only do it a few times before the clutch is toast.
Some owners are actually complaining about the clutch however as it is designed in such a way that it's either in, or out.
So it can be emberassing stalling the car in traffic, or spinning the tires. Again, learning curve some owners just don't know how to deal with. Once the car gets moving however, s'all good.
gorgeous cars, seen only one in person and it looks better in person than photos... much better

The actual HP rating on those cars is 612hp, but hey who's counting.

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Really?
Because originally the car was stated as only going to be having about 550 hp. when it was announced, pre-production.
So that's pretty damn good that the found an extra 60 hp!

that yellowish color sucks in the picture because it was taken with a celphone and the quality sucks. it looks like mustard. but its really an RX-7 Yellow. its looks great and shinny in real life.

The rims have one nut holding them in, so they need a good bit of torquing. The wrench that comes with is a special device I believe invented just for that car, or invented from something for that car so customers can take off the wheel if need be.
