Positive note. There are still elements of youth that desire exotic cars and possibly vintage too.  Speed freaks and petrolheads have always been the outliers.

Beautiful at every angle. The paint scheme only adds that much more to perfection.

Agreed, it seems that photos don't really do justice to that view.
I was that same level ^^^  of surprised when I got a good close-up/personal look at one

That really pissed off a lot of hardcore GT guys that they'd sell to Paris Hilton & ppl like that and not us.

The 05-06 cars have the look of the GT40 & they sound a lot better than the V6.  The new car is gorgeous in its own right & crazy fast & crazy expensive

Here it is during car week in Carmel parked on the street same week as the Rolex Reunion at Laguna last year (2nd photo) It was also displayed with the original P1075 and a 2005/06 all in the Gulf colors the year before again at the Reunion (2018). Enjoy.

I've got three friends that have theirs coming, all chose the Gulf Livery, and none are youtubers or social media stars.

I am going with one friend to see his on the line at Multimatic later this year. That'll be a treat.
