    Though I personally dislike Porsche, I may just have to go up there with my camera tomorrow.

    I can see how not thinking a Carrera or maybe a Turbo wasnt exotic, but I mean a GT2 or a CGT, you cant deny those being exotic, dont know about you, but I dont see many around the neighborhood... Rob, if you go up there, please tell us if its still there, i dont even know if its for sale or not. Thanks,
    David

    How amicable are FCI & Sport Auto to enthusiasts (meaning hardcore Ferrari heads, but not an owner...yet :) ) poking around with cameras?
    It's been an age since I stopped by FCI.....back in my NCSU days though I haunted the old location two or three times a month, but that's been about 15 years.
    Just wondering if they'll let me a car nut admire a little art again

    I don't have problems with either, i know everyone at sport auto on a first name basis so i dont even bother asking to take pics there anymore, i would definitely ask if they mind taking pics at FCI though, i always do. they always tell me sure, go ahead and to take my time. one of the guys there named Vic saw my big SLR-looking F828 in my hands the first time and gave me his business card and asked me if i could send him pics and use them as long as i didnt charge. i later emailed him a link to the pics i took that day and he never responded ( i didnt think my pics were that bad!)

    I like the new S2000's, the 2.2 litres. I think you might want to supercharge it and make a few engine mods here and there and I think 400hp would be quite adequate for an S2000 doncha think?

    I kind of surprised that nobody bothered to take pictures of the F50 they have tucked away in the Ferrari showroom.

    Also, anybody in the showroom who notices the '91 348ts (red with black roof & sills -- near the F50), take a good look at the wheels. They're mounted backwards. You'd think an FNA dealership would spot that and switch 'em around.

    It is a little joke ;)

    I am taking delivery of a CGT soon, it is also Seal Gray except the interior color is different. I chose black (Porsche Natural Gray) over the colors pictured in this thread, which I believe is Terra Cotta.

    I will probably be selling it fairly soon afterwards, if anyone is interested in a pristine silver/black CGT that is still being produced...let me know! ;)
