super lucky....i know that ran you big bucks.....lol, do you need a friend, i'm available on sat and sun...lol

 

No, not so far. If I hadn't read all the horror stories, I probably wouldn't have even noticed. The trick about letting out the clutch with no throttle is cool though... - Tim

 

congrats on the car. def one of the most desirable cars to own at the moment. by the time i can foresee myself being able to purchase one, they would have passed the age limits (5-6 years) i have for purchasing a car.

unless ofcourse i have a non-linear fortune change

 

congrats. beautiful car and driveway!

 

Congratulations sir, a Carrera GT is an incredible achievement and you should be proud.

 

You already respect the car - so that's good, point #1. Point #2, warm up the tires! Stock PSI is at 32 (cold) - once you warm the tires up to 36-37 PSI, much more grip. Enjoy in good health!

 

BTW, where do you find parts diagrams for CGTs online? There are a number of Ferrari parts sites that have diagrams, but I haven't found a Porsche CGT one yet. Workshop manuals?

Ahem, so much new to learn...

Congrats! Most of us dream of owning one super car in our lifetime and you own two at one time. Awesome just plain awesome.

 

I guess the Veyron can't be far behind. Great choice my friend, P-Cars rule.

 

living the dream! congrats

 

Awsome car Tim! Enjoy in good health!

 

Truly awesome and be safe. Thanks for sharing

 

Tim,
The tires should definitely hook up better than what you experienced. The stock tires on the CGT perform MUCH better after they warm up though. If they still don't hook up well after they are warm you should replace them with new tires. Once you learn the car and get the tires nice and warm 5/10ths is all you should ever push the car on public roads. If you can find a road where there is no chance of someone pulling out of a driveway and you have great visibility you might be able to raise that a couple of tenths.

Enjoy!

 

my favorite car def need pic of f40 next to the cgt.

How do they compare to each other?

 

Congrats on your new stewardship Tim. Be careful out there. There's a reason that the number of CGT's are dwindling almost as fast as Porsche made them. Be safe and enjoy!
