i'd love to see xico's car go up against shank's new viper and a stock CGT. if filmed well, that'd be a video that'll be an internet car nut classic!

What would be the point of shank's viper going against xico's car? Xico is outgunned by over 400 hp at the wheels isn't he? Nothing in the world is going to make up for that, the only thing that would even things up is if shank just couldn't get traction.

I have a 924 Carrera GT RS that was purposely built by Porsche for the factory team for Le Mans. It is one of two produced. I purchased it from the Porsche library in 1990. It weighs under 1800 pounds (wet) and has just under 500 hp.

Wow!! what an uproar this vid has created...LOL its great!
We have some strong opinions here....
WOW!!
Actually 4 mph...is quite alot in terms of 1/4 mile.
And to my knowldge wasn't Stu's car the one that got 1st place as well as one of the few cars that made it throught the shootout without any problems..!!??
I'm not trying to make your CGT look bad....I'm just saying....in this vid which show's a stright line race......the 996 was faster..(not by much) but was faster..
thats all....
People say there's no compairson....!?? How so!....
Compairing a turbo civic to a CGT is no compairson but these both come from the same manufacture and are already very high performers compaired to everyting else...
I think it was a great compairson.... You can do a few mods, pull on a CGT and still have a great car at the end of the day for several $$$ less than a CGT.
None the less, just is a great way to show people with 996's what they can do with a few mod's. Thats all.

yep, a whole 4 mph! wow! watch out for those corners cause CGT is going to give it an enema if the stu car is actually even fully running properly and hasn't been in for more "tuning" (er: service).

Next time I'm in the Bay Area I hope to see you on the roads! Was just there a few weeks ago and for reminiscing by buddies and I made a mad dash to Point Reyes from Novato. Funny how one remembers those roads, the crests, the apexes, all these years later. Ramble ramble...

We fell silent for a few moments in honor of those magnificent beasts. I think they were the Euro street models. I'd still give my right ___ for one today.

Don't laugh, but I don't own a digital camera. Maybe I can get Alex, (sharkster) to come over to the warehouse and take some pics to share.

Chad, this one? How does it compare to the KA ... or is it more of a collector's item for you?

The above cars look similar but different. As to visual, the side windows are bubbled plastic which have a three to for inch protrusion outward. They are CGT's not CGTRS's. Now I have to get a pic to post.
It is a collectors item for me. I have never come close to pushing her to her limits.
