Porsche Carrera GT compilation

Porsche Carrera GT compilation

BMWM1128 is a good friend to anyone who's a Porsche lover and, in particular, a Carrera GT lover.

VRAlexander's Porsche GT is a slick compilation of photos and video set to a great soundtrack that's embellished even further by the screaming engine and exhaust notes emanating from the CGT.

The best bit of the video has to be when the CGT roars through a Malibu, CA tunnel. That sound is worth losing your hearing for! Even better is the fact that our camera car appears to be CGT too! And a bright orange one at that.

Watch the cars slice through heavy LA freeway traffic, scream past surfers at the beach and wake up the neighbors in downtown Beverly Hills.

Can we have this car as our daily driver, please?

For some Porsche history and some gloriously-shot footage of the car, check out the Porsche Carrera GT Promo video.

Carerra GT Breaks down in LA Traffic



StreetFire's own Jonathan catches a Carerra GT stuck on the side of the freeway in LA traffic. The slightly embarrassed driver apparently had some battery problems. I guess that's what happens when you buy a super-exotic simply to admire it in your garage.

VRAlexander and EVOMS Set New CGT Record

VRAlexander and EVOMS Set New CGT Record

Brought to you by VRAlexander.

VRAlexander, Evolution Motorsport and StreetFire's Jonathan Fambrough team up to capture VR and his 2005 Carrera GT win the TEXAS MILE standing mile record for the Porsche Carrera GT. Congratulations VR and thanks for sharing this moment with StreetFire.

EVOMS
) staff tests the GT on the dyno and shows the test results. It's fun to watch the GT's back wing appear. It raises a little over six inches when the car achieves 75 mph then pulls back in flush at a speed reduction of 50 mph or less. Cool! Then we watch VR take the CGT out on the TEXAS MILE runway. Like the jets that normally take to the air off this runway, you'll watch and listen to the CGT wind out and win the record.

This is one of the sexiest cars I've ever laid my eyes on whether standing still or in the wind. You should watch VR's CGT Compilation or any of his video uploads. They are exciting, professionally done and show a skilled auto enthusiast at work and play.

VIDEO:Exotics Rally Crew Quick Run in NYC

Exotics Rally Crew Quick Run in NYC

Brought to you by Hovik.

Hey this one is nicely done by Dreamin' TV for Exotics Rally. Exotics Rally was founded in July, 2007, for auto enthusiasts who have similar interests in cars, travel, driving, and evening activities. The rallies have been held mainly in the Manhattan area but they are branching out into other parts of the US.

The video: It's an "Exotic" night run through Manhattan. The video offers great visuals. You'll see a couple of Murcielagos, a Gallardo Superleggra, Carrera GT, and GT3Rs. There is footage of the cars seriously smoking the other traffic, but mostly the Exotic owners are having a blast just driving. And who can get enough of that Lambo roar you hear about one minute thirty-four to one minute forty-five seconds into the clip? About five minutes in the vivid images start to become softer and mimic fantasy. Pretty cool! An exotic 'car' fantasy world! Then later on all that horsepower verberates off concrete as they go through tunnels. Toward the end of the video see some "Exotic-struck" fans trying to get some snapshots standing in front of one of the Murcielagos.
