Thumbs up Just ran into my first CGT

I saw for the first time a CGT on the road, in my neighborhood none the less. It was silver, the top was off. It looked great.

The CGT is far better looking in person than in pics.

Yep, I heard it. We followed each other down Alum Rock Ave to the freeway.

RacerX,

Considering he had an elderly lady in the passenger seat, it is understandable. Besides, with traffic it wasn't the place. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I really enjoyed just watching it on the road. It's really a beautiful car.

Besides, those who really know Killer Angel know 612 hp and 3000 pounds really wouldn't have much of a chance.

Thumbs up Sound of CGT

You'll love the sound! Two years ago I heard one testing on the track at Porsche Research and it sounded great. Then two weeks ago our Porsche Club was invited to the first one to be delivered to McKenna Porsche in SoCal and one of our members posted a quick sound bite. Fantastic! You can definately tell it has light weight components, it just grabs the rev's so quickly.

If my children weren't already grown I'd consider them for indentured servitude and use the proceeds to buy one!

Hey, the CGT sounded and looked great. The sound was deep and pleasant without being too loud or annoying. The encounter really has me thinking about ordering one.
