Which would you take - murci roadster or cgt?
A Murcielago roadster
or Carrera GT
Murcielago Roadster:
Pros: Looks, Looks, Looks, More open-airness, N/A exhileration,
Vertical door appeal, Fast, Looks, Looks, Looks, 350K.
Cons: Softop takes 10 minutes to install, can't go above 60mph (is this true?) with soft top on. 9 month waiting for ordered to color and spec.
Anyone experience driving murci egear vs. stick?
CGT:
Pros: Super fast, awesome handling, carbon everything,
Cons: 440K (maybe 400 if in stock), rapid depreciation??
Which would you take and why?
Shank
or Carrera GT

Carrera GT all the way. This is the ultimate race car designed Porsche. You should get the Carrera GT book from Amazon.com and read it. This car is so amazing! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846
Murcie is fat, heavy and slow compared to the Carrera GT.
No comparison.

I'd opt for CGT. There is a reason it costs more - superior performance. Plus, you'll have easier time getting it serviced.
It's not often that you can pay more to have BOTH more performance and practicality.
They are both exotic cars. One of which is a supercar.

Definitely the Murc Roadster. It has so much more visual presence than the CGT.
And I don't know about the CGT being easier to service than the Lambo..... I'd imagine that serious repairs would be cheaper for the Lambo than the CGT.

I'm biased, but definitely take the Roadster over the CGT. Looks alone wins it for me.
The CGT may be a better performance car, but it just doesnt do anything for me looks wise.
As far as comparison of the E-Gear or 6-speed, I opted for the 6-speed. You get much more control with the car than the E-Gear.
Imagine this as a Roadster

If you're keeping the Gallardo, CGT no question. That Porsche + your current collection = INSANE
If you forsee the Gallardo selling soon, I'd think pretty hard about a pearl orange murcie roadster

CGT. You'll be able to get a Murcie in the future, but with the recent announcement by Porsche, the excusivity is for real. I've seen several Murcie coupes, and a friend in Jacksonville has a convertible. I've never seen a CGT on the road, only at shows.
The Murcie is heavy with a top that is an absolute joke.

Murcielago Roadster, the CGT imo doesn't look anything close to what a car of its calibur should look like. It is a great performer, but the Murcielago Roadster would be my first choice over it.

CGT without question. Has both high looks and uber-performance.
Murci Roadster has max looks, but not even in the same league as CGT in performance.

I would choose the Murci because of the simple fact that when you are seen pulling up in the Lambo, you are now seen. You see the CGT and it is more subtle. I would invest my $$$ into a white pearl/red with chrome factory wheels.

I would get the CGT. No other car comes close to the sound the thing makes. You can always take the top off the CGT and it will go a lot faster then 100 with the top on.
