It's pretty low. I've not had to much trouble. It does scrap from time to time, but I always tell myself it sounds much worse than it really is.
I'm not holding my breath on the promised ride height adjustment but would really appreciate it if they did.

"..The car is simply the finest car I have ever driven which includes an F 50 and my two GT2s. I have about 35 cars now and after buying the CGT 25 are for sale because this is the only car I would want to drive. Everthing else is simply inferior...."

If you can figure out how to swing one one it is simply better than any car being built today. The finest all around car on this planet. IMHO

Congrats on the car. Chris is certainly one of the best Porsche people out there.

Hope you don't mind me answering the questions I can since Les rarely posts here, but yes it was the GT siilver/black in the showroom (they have another just like it on vessel) and Les' cars for sale are primarily muscle cars (he has no Fcars).

There is a Yellow CGT brand new at a dealer I have seen pics of on this board, according to Les I would not risk the wait and pick one up ASAP

Les,
Congratulations on your outstanding purchase!
I had a conversation with my dealer yesterday and I specifically asked him about the MY 2006 delivery issue.
He told me that the cars he has on order with build dates in 2006 are still in the computer as scheduled for completion in calander 2006.
He said at one time (last November) , PCNA was telling him that cars would be delivered earlier because of an improvement in production efficiency. They have recently not said any more about it.
He also said that dealers were required to firm up their MY2006 CGT orders but that they were still able to be changed as to color, options, etc..
Just one more data point.
Cheers,
Les,

I Agree with you 1000% it's the best ever built By PORSCHE.
Congratulations on your smart purchase, please post some Pic's ASAP

Ben is right most of the cars I am selling are musclecars and have sold two already.
Vegas gets it's first Ferarri dealership April 29, 2005 when Roger Penske's new shop opens at Steve Wynn's new place so that will be the first time I will have a realistic chance to seriously consider owning a Ferrari. Previously it was in my opinion difficult to own a Ferrari in Vegas and have it serviced out of state.
I think they are fantastic supercars and will buy one at some point however their current flagship the Enzo lacks a radio and removeable tops and therefore fails in my opinion as an all around supercar. Plus the prices give me a nosebleed. But the new 430 looks tremendous!
Note to Ben. I drove the CGT over to the Shelby factory today and ordered the 363 cubic inch 650 HP engine for my 1966 GT 350 Shelby drag car that we figure will turn a 10 second quarter mile. We also found room on the side of the car for the phrase "faster then anything Ben owns" as well. LOL
In a straight line anyway. And I don't know if I will actually be able to stop the car either? Those are relatively minor kinks I will need to work out.

I thought the Enzo granny shifter was called the

Nick's going to love this!
