Alternatively you could tune in to "me, me, me, and a bit more me" aka Jay Emm and get bored into submission while getting nothing better than a view of Mr Emms face as he waffles on about how crap McLaren's customer service is......well that's how I see it anyway.....

The year was 2007 and I was twenty years old. I was working for a local Porsche-Audi dealer as a shuttle driver when a customer brought in one of these Carrera GTs for some work. I count myself lucky to have been there when he returned to pick it up. He crawled out of the lot and onto the street that ran out front of the dealer and then made his way to the stop sign with the major highway. Just as I gave up on hearing anything from it, this primordial scream came forth as he floored it away from the stop sign and it was as if the checkered flag had just dropped on a one-car F1 race. He ran it straight to redline and even though he was well away from the building, the volume never seemed to diminish. I'd never heard anything like it and even now, 13 years later I can still hear it in my head and it never fails to make the hairs on my neck stand up. What a car!!!!

Back in April 04 I went to the factory to collect my new Carrera 4S. Porsche still had their "old" museum then, which was quite small. As I was looking round it they began moving some of the cars and I ended up helping them push the 917 known as "Big Bertha" out of the display to make room for a new car. I didn't know what the new one was going to be, but a few minutes later a Carrera GT appeared with engine running. I'll never forget the fantastic sound of that engine and particularly the way it fell silent instantly when the driver shut it off, just like an F1 car. One moment all idling menace and power and complexity, then....nothing. What a great day - thanks for stirring up some treasured memories Harry!

As a Boxster owner, it's really neat to see the similarities between the Carrera GT and the Boxster. The door jambs look the same, the front hood looks the same (though probably carbon) and of course the instrument cluster and steering wheel look to be the same unit (also shared with 996). It's remarkable how well finished this car is compared to something like a Lamborghini of the same vintage - the details are bordering on apple consumer product - level attention.

I used to work next door to HRE Wheels in Vista, CA and one day I was sitting at my desk and heard what sounded like a Formula One car race by the building (this was back when Formula One cars had V10 engines). Of course I had to go out and see what it was and I found out it was a black Porsche Carrera GT, a Maserati MC12, a rather pedestrian Ferrari F430 and a Lamborghini of some sort (might have been a Gallardo-it may have been orange... I don't remember). The guy driving the Porsche Carrera GT was taking one of the guys from HRE for a spin around the building and doing donuts in the back parking lot with it. Apparently, they all drove down from Orange County and one of the group in another Porsche got pulled over by CHP for doing well over 100mph. I'll never own one of these cars but I have seen a couple of them in the wild and they sound amazing. Thanks again for the great videos!

Late September last year, I had the most insane driving experience. I got the opportunity to try not only a Carrera GT but also a 959 and a 918 Spyder. It was a pretty rainy day but you hardly noticed that in the 918, extremely competent but also too competent. It mostly felt like driving a computer game. The 959 was fantastic and felt very special to drive, and also a childhood dream to be able to drive a super car from the 80's. But the car that really got my head spinning was the Carrera GT. A totally crazy car! The specific car I was driving had a sport exhaust and was chipped as well to 610 hp. The sound and the driving experience was just out of this world! And I can tell you it was a bit scary to drive it in wet, it was spinning in any gear. And the owner had before showed a lot of videos of crashed Carrera GT:s as well... But what a car this Carrera GT is to drive. Totally analogue and I think that's why I just loved it! Thanks Harry for reminding me of the experience!

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the opportunity to drive these amazing cars? Does a friend of yours own them or something? I wish to one day drive them aswell...

Splendid history, insight, anecdote, detail and commentary. Harry is unique; his analysis of the marque and appreciation of this attainment are matched by his understanding of real world values and knowledge about the consequences of ownership. This episode was a special treat.

Despite being a great performance advantage, the small diameter clutch and low weight flywheel are one of the main reasons why people crash this car. Jay Leno, Rodger Rodas, Lewis Hamilton's father, etc.. The engine response is so immediate and there is no buffer between driver and engine. If you don't know how to drive a race car, don't expect to be able to push this car without the very real possibility of spinning out. Very similar to 1 liter Supersport bikes. You have to feather on and off the throttle very carefully when you're taking turns.

Thank you for this in-depth review. I've always feared the car due to some tragic accidents on track and off. Your unbridled enthusiasm for the car has eased my concerns. I've always wanted to add a 959 to my stable but now the Carrera GT is a drivable candidate and not just a museum piece.

No shame on Doug. Chris Harris is pretty good as well and I reckon Harry would agree, Chris hacked for him on Evo at some stage, I think.
