Damn the SLR sux:P

Bet you're glad you got that CGT ben. Maybe the prices will stay firm on these things. I know they're making quite a few but still, it seems like a fricking miracle of science thus far

I only wish I was a balla' so I could get one

Baller (balla) <- Getto version adj: Big Tymer, high roller, cash money. i.e. instead of tollet paper to wipe your a$$ you use 100 dollar bills.

You def. have to be a balla for this car. The prices should stay level, maybe drop a bit. But hope no one's expecting an investment like the enzo.

Spanking?

The Enzo had the fastest top speed, way above the CGT.

I guess ugliness accounts for 1.12 for the Enzo at Nardo.

Let's hope not!!!

$480K after tax is just of out reach for me....

I pity those who are concerned about resale on these things...If you can afford to buy one, you shouldn't be concerned about it's resale. This is a car for life, not speculative investment...

Erik, the CGT has a redline-limted top speed. Also, the CGT has a lot more downforce than either the SLR or the Enzo, which accounts for its slower 0-300 kph times.

That's just the top speed tests (Part 2). Part 3 was an actual track test at Nardo where the CGT took home the crown with no meaningful competition - Enzo included.

Edit: My bad. The high speed test was around Nardo. The track (1,600 m) test was at a place I can't pronounce.

I just hope we see these things on the roads. I mean it's still a Porsche after all and MEANT to be driven. Porsches aren't supposed to sit in hermadically sealed garages never to be driven.

Entertaining, but doesn't make the Enzo any less of a car. Enzo > CGT.

no car is meant to be sealed in a garage, but you've gotta be gratefull for those that have done that w/ some of these vintage cars we have from our past

"but doesn't make the Enzo any less of a car. Enzo > CGT."

nah, what makes it less of a car is that it's a $650K + MSRP/$1 mil + market price, butt ugly car that is considerably less durable/reliable than the CGT which is it's equal while giving it's owners leather, A/C, nav, and bose vs. the stripped out enzo. if the MSRP (and market value) of the enzo was only $250k, i'd still be taking delivery of the $450k CGT instead.

IMO, the CGT looks like a Boxster, nothing special at all.
The Enzo has the CGT beat in the looks dept. by a LARGE margin.
