Austin - Saw the GTR

I guess the GTR is finally out in Austin. I saw a silver one driving down South MoPac this afternoon around 5:30pm . I was only able to take a pic of the tail end. Unfortunately it's fuzzy, but I'm sure most of us have already seen what it looks like in the magazines. I couldn' get any more pics because by that time it just took off!

It was funny seeing other fast cars, after realizing what it was, trying to catch up to it but couldn't. I'll upload the fuzzy pic for those that wants it later.

Saw 2 of them this weekend running around Round Rock, a white one and a black one. I was on the fence about that car appearance wise, after seeing it up close and personal, and hearing its exhaust note this weekend.....wow. One of them is owned by SW, he's the local megabucks car guy here in town (owns like 8 badass rides), not sure who the other owner was, maybe a customer of his since he runs some sort of exotic car dealership.

I wonder if he's going to bring it to the car show at Rudy's like he did his other cars.

There's at least 3: white, grey and black.

I heard SW has 2, and one is going to a customer in South America.

those were probably both his then, the 3rd one was actually purchased over a year ago according to some guy who spoke to the owner who I met this weekend (if he wasn't bs-ing to look cool anyway)

Yep I was there too. It's bigger than I thought. I didn't get a chance to inspect it more thoroughly due to towing the kid around.

Did you see the husband and wife + baby team driving the new ZR1 Corvette and the Gallardo? That's one expensive baby seat.
