what car did u own before stepping to the big GT?
and how do they compare to the GT?

 

stradale, and while the brakes are just as good on it, acceleration seems woefully lame. the stradale is a whole lot more go kart like though and is a fantastic car.

 

GT2, Stradale, various modified 993 & 996 turbos...and to be honest with you they really don't compare to the CGT.

The CGT is a culmination of all the best parts of these cars raised to yet another level.

Just wondering, is the CGT so much better that you no longer have the urge to drive your other cars?

 

can't speak for amir, but my stradale has only been driven (briefly) twice in the last month, and one of those was to obtain a tech inspection while the other was just some errands within a mile or two of the house just to get it out!

 

Bill,

I still love my other cars but everytime I take one of them out I instantly get the urge to come right back home and swap it with the CGT.

Since I got my CGT I've only driven the Stradale about 150 miles and the GT2 another 200 miles.

Bill, I know you're itching to get one and keep trying to talk yourself out of it but trust me as was the case with me and then Ben, if you can get any decent amount of seat time in one, you will forget all about your RUF and 360 CS. It's just that good.

 

Hey Bill,

Didn't realize it was you I was talking with at Pioneer today about our Stradales. Nice to meet you!

Are you thinking about getting that gorgeous Carrera GT?

now i wish i could drive a CGT for once.

hmmm. is it that good???

 

Hi guys. It's a funny thing about these cars. I get bored of things very fast and, somewhat related, always want the fastest and the best. I use all of the cars I have now equally. The CS when I want the looks, sound, paddle shifters and go-kart experience (a noisy red CS with a stripe causes quite a scene). The Ruf when I want the raw acceleration. The Viper when I want to tear-up the tires, show-off the engine, or want the sun and wind in my face.

Would replacing all with a CGT make me less bored? Probably not. I think I would be bored in a year or two if the CGT were my only recreational car, especially if Porsche or Ferrari come out with a faster car. Would I replace an existing car with a CGT? Probably yes. However, I will wait to do that since I'm not bored with the cars I have now, and a used CGT may be had for a better price later (i.e., I can use the extra $100K or so to build another garage or buy another car!).

I'd like to see what you guys are doing in another year! The problem, for me, is always wanting the best. Even an Enzo and McLaren sitting in my garage will get old if there is something much better.

Bottom line: if I knew the CGT price was not going to go down, I would buy one today. But, since I'm not bored now, I will wait.

Of course, we are all VERY fortunate to have these experiences.

 

Amir- I hear you have a great collection of cars - got any pics of them together ? I need a new desktop pic!

 

Darren,

I don't have a picture with all of them together yet, but I'll try to work it in this weekend and send them to you next week.

Amir

 

that picture brought tears to my eyes.
so damn hotttttt!
Let's see some of the other pix of the car.

Bill said he has some videos of a CGT lapping Stradales on a track he's going to post!

 

That is a great picture! It really shows how the two cars are very similar regarding cooling, aerodynamics and styling (form follows function). Thanks for posting!

 

Great shot Amir, beautiful cars..
