Oh my gosh! Had to go on business to the same town where Chuck lives and we got together for about an hour. He has an amazing collection of cars and when we were done looking at them he says "Do you want to drive the GT?" I was like fumbling for words. Does a fat man want to go to the all you can eat buffet?

Heck Yeah I want to drive that bad boy, but at the same time I am a bit nervous about driving Chuck's half million dollar supercar!

Anyhow it was AWESOME!

Guess what I didn't stall it once! I drove about 10 miles or so and it was FANTASTIC! Thanks so much Chuck!

Back to work BUDDY I have to own one of these cars, so BACK TO WORK!

There is NO comparison. The GT is a SUPERCAR and my tt is a tt.
I loved everything about it. It has go cart like steering, awesome brakes, incredible acceleration.

The interior is gorgeous! I love all the little details like the center console which "floats". The carbon and aluminum trim is incredible. The seats hold you perfectly!

The cabin IS snug. Neither myself or Chuck are little jockey types but we still fit okay. This car could be driven daily but the way people go nuts over it, you probably would not want to do it all the time.

Dislikes:

No cruise control (oh well)
No automatic climate control (no problem)

I can't afford one yet!

Buddy what are you doing on forums? Get to work

Thanks for sharing the experience, is there a way you can describe the clutch and how it is different?


Chuck is da man!

Nice! 1st your son gets a b-day ride then a day later you get to pilot it. Very generous of Chuck to do that. Go get your GT and I'll take the 996 off your hands.

Not for me to divulge where Chuck lives but I sure do appreciate his offer to let me drive.
