I've seen at least two different SLR's in Ontario...or at least they had different plates. One in Toronto and another I saw up at Wasaga Beach. Never seen an Enzo though.

Eh, I thought Toronto was where all the money/Chinese gangsters in Canada was? On a good day you can see all of those cars(at least one each) on one single street in downtown Calgary, and Calgary is like a hicktown 1/10th the size of TO.

With ricer stickers too.

I've seen them all. SLR, Enzo, Mclaren F1, Skyline GTR, Elise.

I haven't seen a Koenesigg.

I'd like to see a NSX type-R, which no one will buy in Canada.

I believe but cannot remember for sure that one of the SLRs is owned by a member of the DeGasperas (sp?) family. They are the construction people that own ConStrada, ConDrain etc etc.

on kennedy, close to matheson theres an office building there. i guess its the owner but he switches every week between his phantom and his diablo roadster. havent seen any other exotics there but im pretty sure he has more.

Thats the Guy, i didnt want to give location of his work, but i love seeing his cars. actually he just might be the Bill Gates of Canada, im sure its a IT company. And yeah he does have a diabolo now that you mention it, but his orange murcielago is pretty sweet.

i have seen
Murcielago, Diablo, Skyline GTR, Elise, Esprit, F360/F430 (all over the street), Porsche 911 Turbo, Bentley GT, Ford GT,DB7

Looking forward to seeing:
Koenesigg, Zonda, MC12, Enzo

& Carrera GT, SLR --> people says they seem them but I never saw one

I spotted the Carrera GT at Splendido... which is near Harbord and Spadina. Sweet sweet car...

While walking to school at Queens Park I've seen various Porsches and a DB7. The CCX would be friggin sweet to see in person... do they exist in Toronto?

I love how the Skyline GTR is being listed with cars that cost about 20x as much. Every punk ass ricer boy in town here has a GTR. It's not like Nissan didn't make millions of the silly things. I can't go two steps without seeing one.

Calgary business did a blurb this month about some investment banker in town, about how he has an SL 65 AMG for a daily driver and a Carerra GT in the garage, but his favourite car (according to the blurb) is .....wait for it......"a customized NSX with almost 450BHP!".

Yeah, even though the AMG and Porsche both make 600+hp, it just ain't a tight car if it aint a Type R. :lol:

I've seen 3 in yorkville over the summer all with custom plates.

Is this in Calgary? i think ive only seen one inthe GTA and i think its was an older one, maybe 91 or 92. I wonder how they get them here. I thought the Skyline wasnt shipped to N America. A friend of mine went to Japan and got be a 2000 Skyline Brochure and it looked like a hard cover booklet, very nice, i cnt read it but it seemed nice. Anyone know the process to import from japan?

KawaiiTentacleBeast

Sep 21st, 2006, 02:09 PM

Remember 15 year rule, so 91 Skylines are legal for import this year. The asking price I've seen is usually aroud $10,000 for a GTR plus $5000-$6000 shipping and handling. You can get a Non-GTR Skyline for more around $6k-$7k. It's basically a beginners car for the ricers around here. :razz:

1990 GTR, 74k km $12k shipped to Vancouver (http://www.j-specimports.ca/index.php?page=list/index.php?PHPSESSID=17c5d287333f90302422eef00bcbd9 8b)

Another (http://www.j-specimports.ca/index.php?page=list/index.php?PHPSESSID=17c5d287333f90302422eef00bcbd9 8b)

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way affiliated with the above company, and I have no idea how good/bad they are.

The most expensive cars I seen in Vancourver are: SLR, Carrera GT, Saleen S7 and some very nicely modified F430 and lambogirlies (because most of them were driven by females).

The thing i like about the guy is that he drives them, and doesnt just keep them in a big garage. Most days its the best part of going to work. But A saleenS7, wow thats a nice car, ive never seen one of those on the road.

I saw a red Enzo on Stouffville Rd. (near the 404) early this summer - presumably the same one you did. There are apparently only 2 in Toronto and the resepctive owners are buddies who live just north of Toronto.

na,, there is alot more enzo in ontario
at least 6

Sports supercars are common if you know where to find it, but I find Maybachs even more rare and a bit harder to spot since they tend to blend in instead of stick out like a sore thumb. Pretty sure I saw a 57 around uptown/markham a week or two ago...now that was a sight.

i saw a red 430 at york u this week.

The guy with the FXX does own an Enzo, he also owns a 575M and a couple other cars (BMW M5, Merc ML500). I've detailed one, I am working on him to let me do the others. :D

That's owned by the guy that owns ZR Auto (http://www.zrauto.ca/).

Calgary has at least 1 SLR. The owner is planning on trading it in for a 722 (http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/10/mercedes-benz-slr-722-boosts-performance-honors-past/).

There's also a CGT around somewhere here.
