Default Last few days in Perth (GT3, M3, SL500, 3200GT..)

A few sights from the last couple of days.
I just caught this 996 GT3 before he drove off. I went up and asked if I could take a few pics, and he said that would be fine. The guy he was talking to at the time got jealous and asked if I would take a picture of his car also (a Ford Falcon station wagon), so I did too shut him up. I didn’t post the pic, I’m sure no one needs to see it that badly.
Then I asked the driver to floor it down the road (quite a long straight before the lights) and he obliged all the way to the redline by the sounds of it…..what a beautiful sound, similar to a M3 IMO, I have new found respect for this car.

GT3:





This is him flying off, to fast for a proper picture:



The black M3 I took pics of from my car last week, finally caught him in a carpark. Notice the paint on the drivers door, someone hit him.:









I’m not usually a fan of white cars, but this SL500 looks great IMO:



A blue Maserati 3200:





A fairly rare (for Perth) Cayenne, can anyone tell whether its an S or Turbo…I couldn’t see how many exhausts it had:






Alfa 156 with shiny wheels:

It sure was an impressive sound, never really heard a modern Porsche at such high revs....now I want more.

BTW, I just noticed that the M3 isn't the same one I posted pics of last week taken from my car. I never compared the rego as I just assumed they were the same car, but to my suprise I now checked and found out I have 2 black M3's in the area. :shock: 8)

Same here, very good pics indeed!! I love the 3200GT btw, have taken some pics of it on my holiday to Italy. Of a black one to be precise. I should take some time to host them for you guys, but there aren't any other supercars that I've managed to take a picture of so ...

I think the 3200GT looks better then the new 4200. They changed the rear lights and the 4200 doesn't have those very nice air intakes in the bonnet anymore.

The GT3 had QLD plates so not sure where the family that owns Enjo is from....hope the car wasn't here just on holidays but permanantly.

Thanks 23790554, I also noticed the red calipers but wasn't sure if that was only on the Turbo.
As for the front bumper I couldn't tell the difference between the two on pics I looked up on the net.

its a turbo for sure, red calipers, big wheels, and u can faintly make out the dual exhaust on the far side, also the S on the back is easy to see, i cant make out the word turbo, but it surely isnt an S back there. nice pics btw, it was nice of the guy in the GT3 to 'give it some stick' for ya!

^ It sure was nice of him, next time I see him I think I'll ask for a ride since he seems so generous.
BTW, you guys were right about the Cayenne since I saw the same one in a carpark today and its a Turbo :shock:, got a couple of close-up shots of it now also.
I will post them some time soon.

I also like the Alfa, there seem to be so many of them around here.
As for the Maserati's, I also prefer the 3200 lights, but I saw a 4200 today in silver and it also looks stunning...so I'd take either.
