Vid: CGT vs GT3 vs Vette
I heard this was all special effects. Nothing you see here is real!

Perfect example of why I never pay attention to most people's reports of "kills of other cars" -- I can imagine the guy in the c6 watching the CGT pull on him in clip #1 and thinking -- gee, that's not that fast. Then you see a more appropriate use of gears in clip #2...

I also have to agree about the GT3, that thing pulled AWEFULLY HARD on the C6! (to the point where I would even say it perhaps jumped the gun on the vette a little) ....I wouldn't think a GT3 can pull a 6L V8 THAT easily on the highway...??

The 911 series has great potential as Ruf and others have discovered. Maybe even more than the CGT with the current CGT body design.
Check out the latest Road & Track magazine where they compared the CGT to the 911 GT3 RSR race car. The GT3 RSR was a full 9 seconds faster on a 10-turn 1.5-mile course. It also accelerated and braked the same. That's because it has 455 bhp with 2420 pounds and racing slicks. R&T pointed out that the rear-engine RSR could carry more speed into the turns and you could get onto the throttle earlier when exiting.
However, they did point out that if you lowered the CGT, put slicks on it, and set-up the chassis for racing, it might give the GT3 RSR a serious fight on a bigger track.
BTW, the GT3 RSR won the 12 Hours of Sebring, the 24 Hours or Le Mans, Petit Le Mans and last year's ALMS GT2 championship.

I know how much potential the 996 chassis has. But Dyam! That stock GT3 practically left the C6 as hard as the CGT did in the CGT's first run against the vette. I know the GT3 is faster straight line than the base C6 but damn...THAT much faster?? 
(i really do think it was slightly exaggerated by the GT3 driver getting a "jump" on the vette driver or something...but I'm open to suggestions)
