I am sure it is. Has the car been run on a 1/4 mile strip yet? What was the ET and MPH?

Is this his car?

The G TT is a sweet ride for sure...show and go. Heffner makes excellent quality kits.

I have trapped as high as 137mph (in the AZ desert) and ran 60-130 in 6.4 seconds...it should be a good race.

i was hoping youd show up...your car is a beast and a half...im sure if you brought your car out here to the east coast youd be well over 140 trap. and prob 9s.

I'm planning on bringing the GT2 and my Dodge out there this fall. EVOMS picked up 7mph in their GT800, so who knows?

It's a GREAT car. Only caviat would be pushing the CGT to 10/10ths will require some driver skill. Shes really good until she gets twitchy/loose.

Agreed!! After driving the CGT and GT2 on the track extensively, I have come to the conclusion that the shortcoming of the CGT on the track is the tires. Even though they are top quality tires, they are still street rubber. I run Toyo RA1s on the GT2 at the track and they stick like glue. With some Sport Cups, R compounds or Hoosiers, the CGT would become much more compliant.

i think someone said that within the alst day or two...they said walter rohl said the CGT would be even faster and better if it were on a set of MPSC's even.

would love to, i dont know where you live but it sounds to me like the east im on the west. it'd be a great race and im sure everyone would love to see the outcome including myself. i am acttually setting something up on an airfield with the help of Elim, but its in cali. would love for you to be there and your dodge. pm me your email.
not that this says much as its just a merci but here is video with a slimilar G to mine but seems to do the job. both cars are WOT. i have carillo rods on the way so i can up my boost safely from 9lbs to 12lbs should be a significant difference. i actually dwelled on the thought of having heff do the cgt but what for, we are talking about doing a quad turbo for a merci. should be neat.

CGT is a great car but about $80k over price now. Extremely fun at high speeds with the best placed gear shift in modern cars today. I agree if you don't just love it now than it"s not going to get better looking to you (not unlike woman). Driving the murci is like driving a sherman tank without the fun of the gun so this puts you in a dilema. Possibly 2 GT3 RS's will satisfy the soul. My money would be in the F430 now. The Ferrari is crazy fun in the 110-160mph range and handles better than all on the list except the CGT. $225k vs. $375k leaves room in the wallet to add a four car garage and still have money left for the woman that will flock to the F430.

An F430 handles better than a 997 GT2?
