Math question: CGT > 599?

IF (SLR > 599)

http://www.killstory.com/ks//story.p...-spanks-599%21

AND (CGT >= SLR)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdDKT6B_adY

THEN

CGT > 599, right?

Where's the freakin video!? :-)

PS And dare I mention 599 > Enzo means CGT > Enzo?

Yea we did.
In my humble opinion, CGT isnt in same class as 599 or SLR, those two have trunks, Radio, etc... comfortable cars that one can drive everyday.


CGT is somewhat of a race car that demands more skill than the previous, plus it doesnt have a trunk so to say (its for the T-Tops). Even with all this, the SLR still smoked them both.

Looked even, or slightly to the CGT to me (slowly pulling away in 2nd run).

buying ONE bad *** car (and having any kind of a family)
Id get the Ferrari hands down

buying ONE bad *** car and having no family or being single
CGT hands down.

The CGT is a beautiful beast and I bet is an amazing car all around.. the Ferrari is GORGEOUS and would be a better city driver and more tame..

:shrugs:

well the SLR won the first round and probably would have won the 2nd also had the start been better set up buttt...

it doesnt matter. i agree with the above, these are all completely different cars. although cgt to 599 are almost comparable, the slr is just a luxury beast with monster power... not really the same raw track car a cgt is

I don't intend to be insulting to anyone, but the video is stupid. Anyone who buys one of those cars to race the quarter mile is an idiot.

Evo magazine's tests show the CGT beating the Enzo on the track where they test all of their cars. Even though the 599 has an Enzo engine, I don't think too many people believe the 599 is a better car than the Enzo. Do the people who own a 599 or Enzo care -- hell no.

I have driven a CGT several times, but can easily say I'd prefer to own a 599 or an Enzo (even though I have not driven either one). There is more to a car than how fast it goes. My preference is a matter of taste, and they are all great cars. The CGT would be a very difficult every day car. If I died driving one, however, I'd say I died happy, though...

I agree with ClubCoupe.

To me (and I think most average people), there's a point where fast cars are just fast "enough" - CGT, 599, Enzo, S7, their speed is pretty much the same as far as I'm concerned (ie. they're all in the "I'm faster than you" category). It just kinda depends on what kind of car you're looking for (racer or GT)
