Well I was cruising down the road and to my suprise I saw a CGT! in the window of the Porsche Exchange in Highland Park IL.
I had to pull 2 U-turns to get back to it. Luckily there were no stupid ropes around the car but sadly still couldn't get into it.

A good day then :D

The CGT is only slightly impressive next to the DB7 ZAGATO :shock: :shock:

A gorgeous car, if slightly wierd looking and based on a 10+ year old chassis :roll: :wink:

I'm liking the 550 Barchetta too.. i saw two a while back.. it took the dealer over 6 months to sell them, and they have just got one of them back :lol:

Nice F40 :D i have never EVER seen an F40 in real life, so i don't really know what to expect if, and when, i do see one :(

{EDIT} Just saw the plate holder on the Zagato and you were at lake Forest Sportscars :D A few other members have posted pics from there before (caps12@???) and it seems to be a great dealership with loads of decent cars on stock 8)

Yeah LFSC is one of the best in the country if not this half of the world.
I was the first to post pics from there a few months back and then Caps was convinced that it was worth while, the place is more than just a dealership, they have realy nice lounges and a sweet ass pool table and putting range, The Speed Channel is always on all the TV's, they build racecars for people and they have their own teams aswell they were building a Camaro race car and Corvette race car today and they were the dealers team cars to go along with their Ferrari's and others. They have a World Class Service Department in which people from all over the country bring their cars, They service 5 Enzo's eventhough they only sold 2 of them.

What a load! Dang, too bad you didn't had a tripod for the pics took inside!! Some of them are quite blurry, but nonetheless, amazing cars! i love the 355 in silver while the CGT is beginning to be boring since 90% of them seem to be silver :?

08-10-2004, 10:15 PM
yeah I wasn't exactly intending on going to look at cars today so the camera was low on battery life and I couldn't afford to use the flash all the time so some look a little crummy and with the CGT that rear end pic if I moved back another cm I would have been sitting on a Carrera's rear end so I was squating trying not to hit the car and trying to get the whole thing it was a little akward sadly the showroom is fairly small especially with such a large car like the CGT and Cayenne but it's all good. That and they have some funky ass lighting in that building with the sun coming through the window aswell.
LFSC is probably the best Dealership I've ever been to they are the nicest people and will answer any questions you have wether or not you are a customer.

bad ass pics t-bird... yea i havnt been to LFSC in a while. tyler is really cool there and their service department is one of the best.... my cousin owns a ferrari specialty autoshop and he gets most of his parts from their service department. they are really cool people and have really hot girls who work there. lol. thanks again t-bird. :D ps. aug 29 downtown on monroe street there will be 60 ferraris parked up and down for the italian village brunch. you should check it out.

Wow you had a great day, some really nice pics. But i think the db7 zagato is so ugly and i have seen it in person, looks like a dam blowfish.

Thanks T-Bird, some very nice cars there. I also love the 550 and that 355 is beautiful. :D I agree with budagboy2 that the Zagato looks crap.

so true i never did like zagato,
and yes all this CGT in silver is pissing the hell out of me, i need to go down the my local dealer and start asking when the next one is coming in
nice pics T-bird

yeah all you have to do is drive up the tollway and it turns into 41 and it will be on your left if your going North but you have to go to the 2nd light after it and pull a U-turn and drive back to it. I think the 3 GT3's are reason enough to go check it out.
