He did it so when I buy it I will save at least 40k because of loss of value Btw, I had a chance to drive Ben's CGT and William's Scud back to back this weekend. All I can say is why don't you have a CGT yet?.

Because they haven't dropped enough in cost. The CGT's are better at high speed than any Ferrari I've driven but a lot harder to drive fast than the Scud. The silver CGT's are down to the 300k mark for the guys wishing to actually sell them. The other colors will follow. A certain guy has a yellow one down to 325k I believe. The one I want the guy is smoking crack on the sale price 100k over reasonable asking price even.
I like the cars a lot but it won't be my first pick the rear end has one of the best presences' of a car made but the front end to me still reminds me of a boxster/996 and I'm not sold on that yet.
Ben's is wicked fast. Really all of them are. That 3rd gear is just insane. Hooks up and just fricken goes through 100mph so fast it's really great.
The CGT's selling right now are asking about 325k or are the guys asking 350-360k and willing to sell at a 40k plus discount. The rest of them have been for sale now for 10-30 months.

I just can't believe there's another car out that can be that much better than the Scud and CS. I honestly felt blah driving the Scud after driving the CGT. Fast was just one small factor. The feels of a more superior sport car radiate throughout my spine after driving that thing. Get a Red one if you have to dam it!!!

David,
That was quick, very nice choice. What are you going to do for a track car? Or is that a future posting?

Rep Power: 170 The rear end of the cgt and the sound I still believe are second to none.
There's also no room in the car to take it on a long weekend trip with someone. The trunk fills up with the hardtop when its off. Or you drive with the hardtop the entire time and still you don't bring much with you.

i haven't spent hours behind the wheel but I've spent almost an hour driving hard. They are a little work through the twisties because of the mass of torque. I don't think they are a fgt better. they are a better car but they are also 115k more msrp than the Scud. They should be better at 30% more.

Thanks everyone. I am loving the car. So much fun to drive. If there is anything happening this weekend, I'll be out.
I love how this thread jumps around. The spirit on the NW crew is alive and well.
Carry on guys.
Looks like a 12 year old in the passenger seat.
