Motor trend estimates CGT perf.
Latest issue of Motor Trend estimates the CGT performance to be 11.00 at 130 MPH in quarter mile with braking from 60 MPH to 0 ,at 97 feet. This compares to 11.4 in the quarter mile by Porsche. Same issue of MT track tested viper with Ford GT. Both cars ran 11.77 in the quarter mile, but GT did it at higher trap speed of 124 to vipers 123. Of note is that viper braked from 60 MPH at 97 feet while GT needed 111 feet. I wonder how many of us with deposits on CGT will be satisfied if Porsche's quarter mile numbers are more accurate than MT? How many will get their 50k deposits back and take another 30k and go to the Dodge dealer and put up with the horrifying service and save 360k? In the supercar circle viper is still best bang for the buck.

Since Porsche quote 0-200kph (124mph) in 9.9 secs, it is unlikely that the next 6 mph takes another 1.1secs. If Porsche quote 11.4 then I would expect a trap speed closer to 140mph.
