ben,lj is spot on with his comments. No modded Turbo will ever touch the CGT driving experience.
It's about the feel. The sound. The look.

You are partially correct. I have driven the CGT. KA more than matches the "feel" and the "sound." As for the looks, I would take a CGT any day.
The sad part about this discussion is after you factor in the down time and the money, the CGT doesn't look so expensive and is definitely more street friendly. One other thing that hasn't entered the discussion..............the CGT hasn't been modified...... yet.

tt-ing a cgt would be very sad indeed. Ferry would be rolling in his grave!!! I just can't see the point of ruining the exacting throttle response and free revving nature of that car when it's turbo charged. Save the aftermarket turbo charging for vipers...

what's even worse is super cars from 10 years ago are as quick as ones of today

I think to resolve this debate, we should give an indepedent third party, who has never driven either cars, both a turbo and a CGT. Say, someone who drives an Audi, or something along those lines .
That person can then say which car they consider to be the true supercar...
Sounds like a plan to me!
