oh my - "Top Gear Drive of the CGT"

top gear drive of CGT

here's an excerp:

"I thought the Ford GT was fast. I thought the McLaren F1 was fast. I thought the F15 jet fighter was fast. But none of them even gets close to the fearful savagery of this Porsche. It is utterly mind blowing.

And what makes it an even more astonishing event is the noise. Because on full power, the 5.7 litre V10 sounds exactly- like the engine in a Formula One car."

"Last I heard was December 04."

my build date is 8/04 but my allocation is probably 2nd or 3rd production run. so, i'd expect they'll be here before that.
