Throwback Thursday February 26th Addition

It was way back in 2004, TLP (Before there was a TLP) was at Sonoma Raceway for the Wine Country Classic.  It was also a special year because that was the first year Porsche manufactured the Carrera GT.  We we walked behind the main grandstand and behold before our eyes a live and up close Carrera GT, the first one we had ever witnessed in person. The Carrera GT is powered by a 5.7 litre V10 engine producing 612 hp.

Over a decade since they began production and it's styling looks as if it was just revealed.  It was also known for its unique exhaust note which can be heard in the video below the photos.
