Hmm, that link is a very general frames page; is there some specific navigation to get to where you're referring?

Sincerely,

Am the only that thinks the CGT is an incredibly boring super car, sure the numbers are ok but the looks? Now the Enzo has it all or even the new race version of the Murcielagos. For me Super exotic and Porsche just don't add up.

Super exotic Porsche??......Try the '98 GT1 for size. Now that to me is far more exotic than an Enzo.

Even Mercedes made the CLK-GTR, I'm talking about production cars, how GT1's were made? CGT is no GT1 for that matter. Why did Porsche take such a conservative design on the CGT?

Porsches are about go, not show.

That's the beauty of it.

When you see Porsches in rap videos and Giovanna ads, that's when you should be worried.

One could say the Enzo is a bit tacky...

I hear you, but for the CGT money you should get more show imo.

Yep. IF the Enzo was able to do 60 laps, it would find itself lapped by the CGT.

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.
