Porsche Carrera GT
Adam and Sandy check out Dino Crescentini’s awesome Porsche Carrera GT. And just when you think we are going to have to tell you we can’t fire it up for you, Dino gives us the OK to bump start his Porsche super car so you can hear the music of his V10 sing.

Nice episode! Dino seemed like a down to earth guy. Keep up the great work.
On a side note I think Adam mentioned in “LA auto show” episode when you guys were talking to the Mini Cooper rep that he was interested in the Mini Cooper S JCW GP Edition .
I’m not sure if Adam was serious or not, but I happened to be surfing Craigslist and found this( I think its the one he wanted):

I have NOTHING to do with this car. Just thought you might be interested.
Keep up the awesome work!
I told Adam that I will spray paint the mirrors red and toss in a strut bar for him and save him some bread 😉 No more cars for Adam until the Lambo’s are done!

I just recently a guy up here in Portland, flipped his Carrera GT going onto the freeway. so yes lots of them have been crashed. BTW you can get the Carrera GT come’s in yellow.
OMG…sweetest car ever. Who do I have to blow to ride in one of those?
A gorgeous car. One of my faves. The CGT sounds more like a race car than any street legal ride. The rev at high RPM gives me shivers.
I’ve also seen ’em in Red. So, red, yellow, black, white, silver, I think. Plus anything custom. Fantastically engineered car, notoriously difficult to control at higher speeds, from what I’ve understood of it. Gets “twitchy” when trying to squeeze the last 2/10ths of the performance out of it.
Hey Adam, you forgot to get the owner to remove the two roof top panels
that fit snug in the trunk!
Guys I heard this podcast a few weeks ago, and had to check out the video for myself… I am around exotics all day, but never have I seen or heard a hotter machine.. Keep up the great work, and keep the “Carcasts” coming!!! A fairly new listener in Delaware..

I actually rode in that car with Dino at Willow Springs last summer (2010). I own a Lotus Elise which I spun 2 times, once at 110 on the straight. That scared me but every 5 or 6 seconds in the Porsche with Dino, I thought to myself “Ok, we didn’t just die but this time, we’re going to.” That thought went through my head every 5 seconds for 6 soul shaking laps. When I got out of the car, I almost fainted. I had to sit down and my hands were shaking badly.
One of the 5 most terrifying experiences on Earth. Fun too.
With its ability to reach a top speed of up to 180 miles per hour, the new Porsche Carrera GT offers truly enjoyable race-track driving experience to all sports car enthusiasts.
