Someone tell me they also saw the yellow Ford GT40 today

I saw it about a mile from where i live in Mill Creek... My gosh it was such a beautiful sight. Every single car going the opposite way (i was following it as I was heading to school) were turning their heads just to see it. Yellow with black stripes, and it was smaller heightwise, but longer then my FD.

SOMEONE TELL ME THEY SAW IT TOO and THAT I WASN"T SEEING THINGS!

I saw one a couple weeks ago when I was driving through cor'd lane. I didnt really like them in pictures, but I do have to say they look really nice in person. Pretty sweet cars.

I saw an enzo on the freeway a couple months ago near around Lynnwood-ish.... but it was red. Do you mean GT40(old one) or GT? the old ones are probably way rare these days. I haven't seen a GT on the road, but there was one at the dealership here in Lynden, WA for some reason. I think they won a drawing for one or somethin...

I saw two of the new GT40's cruising on Mercer Island about two months ago, on a nice day before the rainy days hit. One was blue, and the other was red. Beautiful machines. They look unhappy on city streets though, as if they're begging to be taken to a high-speed road course, so they can do what they're made to do.

^^^^ i totally agree about the unhappy portrayal you're talking about. we hit about a million stop lights, and it was just contrasting so much compared to the other cars, i seriously wanted to follow it on the onramp just to see how fast it pulls away.

In my area, there's a silver R33 skyline, a yellow ferrari 360, and a silver murcielago, and this weird maserati car i don't know the name of, i've seen them all at least twice, steve i'm sure you've seen the blue maserati in silver firs right? some mom drives it

I saw a 'new' Ford GT a few weeks ago. It was red with white stripes. I was sitting in a classroom, taking a defensive driving class (lol). I heard it before I saw it. I looked out the window and was SHOCKED to see it drive-by and pass out of my sight. I've never seen one before.

I tried to race some maroon R-33 this last summer. Saw him coming back from playing pool at Jillians in Seattle. The guy was a *****. He had stickers, FMIC and exhaust and when I 'fronted' on him he just n00bed it up... He actually hit it next to me, too bad I pulled. He should've down-shifted.

After that he wanted nothing to do with me. I got next to him and he seriously slowed down to 50 on I-5... So did I. He got off soon after. What a n00b. I swear he thought my car was faster. He didn't know that he could downshift to 3rd on the freeway.
