I live in Northridge and see a GTO replica driving around from time to time. It's a really good re-bodied Z. I am sure we are seeing the same one. | ||

I'm not very well verse with older Ferraris, but I swear that I've seen the same GTO in the Valley quite a few times now. It's usually early in the morning driving south on Reseda Blvd near Sherman Way going towards the 101. One time also in Woodland Hills. Anyone know this car? Replica or real thing? | ||

Edward, Michael works out of his home in Newport Beach. While he does occasionally have a Ferrari or two in his garage, the GTO replica is not. It's located in Canada. I would assume that Kartik's GTO wasn't the real deal. I've seen a great deal of 240Z-based "GTOs" running around here in SoCal, odds are that this was one as well. | ||

Whats even cooler is getting a ride in one, a real one. I made a video from the outside and inside. I play it over and over. I will never forget it. | ||

I have seen this replica several times in Laguna. I spoke with the owner, who told me about the project. Looks good from a distance. The fact that it was parked on the street (near my house) overnight on several occasions was a clue. Jim S. | ||

Real or not, thats an amazing sight! However, I believe there is someone in Socal that has an EXACT replica (or is it even a Ferrari rebody?) of a 250 GTO that he drives quite often...Id imagine that would be the same one since sadly, not many people drive their GTOs on the freeway  If it was real, WOW! I only wish I could have seen it...or even the replica if it was one. | ||
