The second of these may be a repost, but it appears some folks had trouble accessing it... so:

Lot's of people downloading, so it'll take a little while...

I am not sure why this is surprising. The CGT has 200 more hp and weighs less. No doubt the CGT is a great sport car but let us not forget a Belguim production sport car selling for around $400,000 LESS, beat the CGT time around the Ring by 30 seconds.

really, what car is that? the donkey one (is that "production" car even US street legal like the CS and CGT with all the weight penalties that entails)? if so, didn't it do 7:18 vs. the 7:28 rohl achieved 7/04 w/ the cgt (hardly "30 seconds")? incidentally, the cornering ability (not a product of hp for sure) of the CGT dwarfs that of the CS despite the tire advantage very much going too the CS. same rubber and it would be scary fast (probably even donkey car fast). lastly, the CGT is at least 100 lbs heavier than the CS.

and you know from past experience with the pcar vs. fcar that the "price" argument is a loser's one. it's the same one the pcar guys use against the fcar guys even though their much cheaper cars whoop the similar segment fcar equivalent.

the "production" vehicle:

the 1388 lb "production" vehicle with the 125 mph top speed (and i don't even think this is the "RS" version which achieved the 7:18 - ON SLICKS):

Anybody else hosting these videos? The Trapster site's inaccessible because its bandwidth is crapped out.

Until the Trapster (SM) site gets moved to a co-lo facitlity, the download performance is going to be terrible.

I loaded these files on eXeem (www.exeem.com) as "cgt1.mpg" and "cgt2.mpg". The eXeem client is easy and free, but it does display ads.

Please let me know if you try to grab them from eXeem and have luck (or trouble).

I got it up and running, it says that it is awaiting peers to download from.

I will just let it run and see what happens.

Can you put it on Lime-Wire?
