Porsche 911 GT3 spotted in Cary, North Carolina

Details on This Porsche 911 GT3:

  • Location
    Cary, North Carolina
  • Description
    Beautiful 911 GT3 parked at Whole Foods in Cary. Clearly a long way from home, as it had California plates on it. The owner was walking out to the car right as I pulled into the plaza, so I only got a few photos, but I tried to take advantage of where it was parked with this angle. Like it?

I'm terrible at guessing age, but I think he was probably in his late 30's or 40's and had long hair.

Nick your first thought for this angle was dead on! The shot looks terrific.

Maybe he lives just across the state line. If he's right near Weddington I guess that makes sense.

Well I'm pretty sure the guy who owns the 458 and GT3 RS lives in Weddington, so it's probably not the same one. I'll try to find out more about him.

Yeah the 458 at the YMCA had a South Carolina license plate and the one at Southpark that I saw had an NC plate. Now that you mention it, I think I saw a red one up in North Charlotte a few years ago, before I really got into cars.

Ah, cool. It looked to be a bit darker red than the one that is at the South Park Mall a lot. I've only seen one GT3 RS on the streets, and it was before I took pictures of anything (*rolleyes*). As far as I know, the one I saw is still owned by someone in Cary, and there's a black one with orange lipstick as well. I have seen a red GT3 in Charlotte (it was in the University area) and a silver one at Phillips Place though.

And thanks Gabe! Glad you like it!

Yeah the 458 at the YMCA on my profile is his I'm pretty sure. I've seen the GT3 at the YMCA also, but I didn't have my camera with me. Hopefully I'll catch it soon!

Parker - That must have been quite a move. I know someone who moved here from CA like a year ago and they still have CA plates on their Navigator, lol.

Dustin - Thanks! I know there's a blue GT3 RS somewhere around Ballantyne (the owner also has a Ferrari 458 Italia) but I've never seen it. Hopefully you'll be able to get one of these - or a GT2 - on camera soon!

Yeah I was surprised as well. I did see a Lotus Evora a few months back that was from CA as well though, so it's not like it isn't possible :P

And yeah, seems like everything I post has a similar angle. Guess it works for me!

I really didn't get a chance. I was setting up for this angle when he walked up and opened his door, so I quickly said "you've got a beautiful car! Can I take a few pictures of it?" He said it was fine, got in, and closed the door before I could say anything else (he's actually in the car in this shot). So no, unfortunately I didn't.

And thanks, Shane!
