I live in minivan / SUV land so don't see many cool cars on the road. Plenty of Porsches, BMWs etc but only a couple Ferraris and Lambos around.

The exception is of course Carlisle during show weeks. Those are mostly muscle cars though.

Really there are a LOT of nice exotics in our area.  The owners only ever drive them on really nice days and the rest of the time they are driving SUVs'.

My moms old neighborhood ( Point Ridge Farms ) had.

Ferrari 355, 360/430 ( I cant tell the difference )
MB S500
Maserati GranCabrio,  Quattroporte
Porsche GT2, GT3, And a guy who had a "DOW JONES" plate on 2 different 911 Turbos ( 1st a hardtop then a convertible )
Viper RT10, GTS ( GTS may have been an ACR )
Lotus Exige

Really though I have only ever seen 1 Lambo around this area and it was a 1960s' Muira.

Yea they don't drive them and most of those people have at least 4 car garages.

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

The rarest car I have personally seen on the street where I live was a McLaren F1.

Parked at Baskin Robbins where we were getting ice cream, and yes, it was real. (Also had euro plates, so probably wasn't legal.  shifty )

My neighbor has a 599, and that's an AWESOME car. I see Ferraris and Lamborghinis occasionally around here too. A white GT2 occasionally cruises around as well, and that is especially cool. My mom's friend had a Carrera GT, but he sold it.

I was at my friend's house the other day and he was showing me his neighbor's cars... we went to the door and asked to look at them. He has a GT2 convertible and a Gallardo Superleggera. Both are souped up with aftermarket exhausts, and carbon fiber accents/lips/spoilers/diffusers. The guy is a total deadhead though, and has grateful dead stickers and license plate  frames on them  shifty.

You need to play a little more Forza buddy.  facepalm

A GT2 convertible doesn't exist. That above is a Porsche 997 TT Convertible and regular Gallardo with Callisto wheels and Gallardo LP 560-4 front bumper.

Look a again, its not a 997 TT, that sir has no side vents for the turbo, nor is it widebody... just a regular 997 convertible me thinks. (still nice though)

Guess this doesn't really count as exotic, but I saw this parked outside of WaWa several weeks ago:

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

arrow-up haha s'all good.  I was just reading through the thread and I saw your post after his and was like I swear I just read that  shifty  Saw a Lotus Exige this evening.  Later, pulled along side what I thought was a newer GT500, but in fact it was a Mustang GT someone wished was a GT500 and had gone to almost ever expense to make it look like one (hood, paint, headlights, exhaust) except for where in the stripe it would normally say GT500 it just said GT.  He gave me the nod and got walked by a station wagon.  spider

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

I rarely see anything around Harrisburg, although there's a guy in Mechanicsburg with a chameleon paint Fiero with a Lamborghini kit on it.  West Chester is where I usually see the "exotics".  The owner of a restaurant we like drives 2 Ferraris, a red F430, and an older yellow 348.  They are up .  Also have seen a GT-R, and an R8.  The R8 had dealer tags on it, and was driven by a total brotato, so I'm thinking it was a joyride.

Saw an F430 yesterday.  Seen a Bugatti a few times.  There is a Gallardo I see every now and again at my local Home Depot.  That always cracks me up.

I love the Mitsubishi-esque bump in the hood.  Gotta make extra room for that turbo.  star

When the "exotic" sightings thread become the "craptastic modification" thread?

Lots of nice cars just North of where I live, in the Barrington area.

But I get to see and ride in this a good amount.  Straight pipe sound ftw.  (His RS4 will be replaced by a GT3 soon)

Re: Local Exotic Vehicle Sighting - What do you see?

I rode in my girlfriend's friend's dad's Elise for a while.  I'd like to thank Jeremy Clarkson, and all of Top Gear for arming me with the specs of that car.  He was so pumped that I knew as much about the car as he did that I swear he wanted to adopt me.  Then he showed what the second cam was all about, and eek
