naa see them i could have identified easily, whatever this thing was it was mid engined, no room in the front for an engine, looked exactly like an ME four-twelve from behind, didn't get to see the front for long enough. the lights looked wrong for an me-twelve though. (besides i shouldn't have seen one of them on the street). been checking out other brands too, but the 4-12 is the closest looking thing i can find!

didn't pay too much attention at first, thought it was just another porsche or something. ("just another" haha) lights looked more like those on the boxster and early 996's... but then i didn't get to see for long.

That could be a Carrera GT IT IS a Porsche like you thought, IT IS mid-engined, the back lights kind of look like the ME412 and the front lights are very similar to Boxster/early 996 as you said

Re: whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

i know theres an Enzo over here somewhere, and i've seen a couple of Diablos (SE and VT roadster), so i guess i can't rule out a carrera gt.

Re: whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

I've seen just about every desirable supercar in Monaco, but the highlight was seeing a McLaren F1, my all time favourite car.

Re: whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

nothing is very rare in Colorado, especially living around Denver. We have one of the highest average income levels in the country. I get more excited over classics than I do Ferrari's, Porsche's, etc. I also lived in Germany from 96-98, so I guess I got bored with them.
