Spotted a Silver GTS going down Windsor road this afternoon. Turned off Windsor and blocked me behind him. Awwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Finally saw my 1st one in the wild (apart from my test drive) about 30 mins ago.

I was at lights on Zilmere road that turned green but I checked the mirror as i was taking off and saw these angry looking angled led running lights coming out of the dark towards me. Couldn't help myself, pulled over to let it past to check it out. Was an orange GTS with custom plates. Looked hot of course. Had to turn a corner straight after though so didn't get to stalk it for a while.

After I pulled over and back in behind it, the driver touched the brakes slightly, hope they didn't think I was unmarked police instead of a jealous dude hanging out for his own to arrive. ;-)

Saw a silver GT/GTS drive down Burwood Road towards Campsie today in Sydney.

im happy i dont see many in the wild as my heart breaks everytime, i still havent put a deposit down and dont know if there is any point to an order anymore since the wait has blown out to 18 months i might as well wait for the hype to die down and the wait to decrease somewhat before i order

There's a silver GT in my work car park at Rhodes.. Gone from only ever having seen one on the road to having two ( mine and the other) in the same spot!! Going to have to stalk the owner and say hi

Spotted my car

Testing my phones camera, its rubbish at night

Interesting note:
I may have been pushing the car a little tonight, and found that with the TC left on and sports mode off (normal) i took a corner much faster than recommended speed and notice the front tires slipping rather than the rear. it was only for an instant, but was wondering if that would be because of the GT wheels not being wider?

damn white looks AMAZING at night ! ^^ can't wait to get mine!

Saw a red one in edgewater. First one I've seen beside the one I test drove.
Thy look so much better in real than they do in photos.

Thats what Wheels article noted as well. They thought its due to GT wheels and tyres.

O.o He's in the UK atm. So either he lent his car to someone, or it's now stolen. LOL

Yeah CHI- something...

I saw him near the 86 meet at auburn. I was tempted for a race with my aurion. Kid and wife in the car so no go. !!!

I spotted the LED's about 100 metres behind me and I knew it was the 86 gts
