It was certainly an incredible experience and once again I must say thank you Chuck! I hope to one day offer rides to others in my very own.

By the way Chuck has a beautiful home and garage!

Thanks Buddy,

It was good to spend some time with you. Let's do it again sometime. I am glad you enjoyed driving the CGT. As you saw, the CGT is truly a blast to drive/ride and I just love sharing it with people.

See ya,
Chuck

I really didn't jump on it too much for a number of reasons but mainly the car only has 700 miles so it is still under breakin which means keeping under 4000 rpm's.

From the little bit I did do I can only imagine really standing on it to redline!

Chuck has a tt stage 4 and he said he thought it was as fast as the GT in a straight line.

But this car is so much more of an "experience" to driving than just numbers.

It truly is an exotic SUPERCAR. First seeing it in detail on Sunday, then getting the ride and finally driving it yesterday have just taken my appreciation for this car to a new level.

It's like finding out more and more about your girl and she is more amazing the more you find out about her. I think I should have used the word more, more!

Hey Buddy, did you notice how many people were looking at the car instead of where they were going? I did. Most people looked like they thought a space ship landed. I just can't get over the sound. To me that was the coolest thing. Much quieter than expected. Some cars are brute force, this thing is just....whooooooooooosh. That's the best word for it. Just riding it in for 20 minutes was a real thrill, driving it would have been killer!

One of the main things that I like about this forum is the vicarious enjoyment you get from others. Congrats Buddy and accolades to Chuck.

A CGT pulls very slightly on a 490 HP Ruf Turbo R. About three or four car lengths from 60 to 160 MPH. That's with race gas in the Ruf and pump gas in the CGT.
