From the results of that test, it looks as if the Lambo could use both steroids and Viagra. Luckily the test was only one lap so the Lambo could complete it.

I like the looks of the Carrera GT. Not all about flares & wings. It is all functional. The Enzo's appearance to me was a step back. I think the F50 is a far better looking car.

Allan, you have to be seriously in denial. How can you say a CGT is boring, and boxter on steroids. You need to add a tow truck to your signature.
Why do i need a tow truck? Got any cars you need picked up?

Im not in denial at all. I dont like the CGT. Id rather buy a Pagani Zonda. Im not against Porsche, i love the TT's.

I prefer the style of the Murci, even if the Cgt was priced 100,000 less than the Murci.

As for the Murci, it offers on the street, almost all of the performance of the Cgt,and it is visually more appealing. On a track the CGT will win, but 99.99% these cars are on the street. Also, the Murcielagos lap time was very close to the Enzo, which is even more overpriced.

I have to agree a bit with Allan,

I really like the CGT alot, and I think the exhaust is the best sounding of any car around. But for the specs and price there are cars I'd rather have. I still think what Porsche did with TT's and GT2's are beautiful.
