Be careful. Lots of free time & too much money is a dangerous combo

thanks on the 918...cgt000

Its delayed but I am building a white one, carbon interior, weissach wheels but weissach package

In the meantime I am loving gt3..... I am into that car right now...

Anyone have an estimation on how many cgts actually still exist

Beautiful color combo on the 918..................

1270 CGTs were built. I am guess 20 to 25 have been already wrecked.

The GT is a remarkable car, requiring far more driver involvement than a 918. This point was made abundantly clear to me this past weekend, as I punched it, fishtailed, kept my foot down to catch it, and kept motoring down the parkway. This all after just exiting the 918. Ah, the pleasures of still be a juvenile delinquent into your 60's. Yes, the 918 handles better, is easier to drive, but, in terms of pure fun, with much more driver skill required, find yourself a GT. One final note, I had the dealer install a lift kit (lifts front and back, unlike the 918), so now, no need to predrive your route.

"1270 CGTs were built. I am guess 20 to 25 have been already wrecked."

much higher number.. I looked about 6 months back and found over 80 wrecked just mentioned here on the RL.. not taking into account the web site wrecked exotics
total damage > value of car. I talked with my mechanic and he felt there 15%-20% destroyed.

I don't think a CGT owner should cry about one getting totaled. With each one that gets totaled the price increases for the remaining cars.

I cry about a CGT getting totaled. I invest in businesses/stocks for the purpose you described.

Keep in mind, 1270 built, only 604 original US cars. Best guess, < 500 left. Still "common" compared to the roughly 300 918s destined for the US or the approximately 60 959s that have made their way here. Just checked eBay, three for sale.

While the 959 is amazing, it was a blueprint for the future. Many 4wd, 911 twin turbos made after that car. A 993 Turbo was a better car in everyway. It took 7 years. Just the way it is. Not knocking it at all.

The 918 is also a blueprint car of the future. Watch Porsche make many carbon tubbed small displacement 8 cyl, hybrid cars in the future. Prob with turbos as well. But you catch the drift.

The CGT, NOTHING EVER ANYWHERE from any manufacturer will compare. Its THE ultimate supercar along with the F1. Wouldn't matter if there were thousands. 500-600 in the US is rare, dont kid yourself.

Or the number of 997.1 GT2's, or 997.2 GT2 RS's around.

(Same goes for the 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0.)

Notmelo

Don't get me wrong, for pure fun, I'd take the GT over the 959. However, if you are a collector/investor that still craves a little fun now and again, go for a 959.

That is funny. I did exactly the same thing when I got in my cgt after I test drove the 918. Fishtailed hard, yep there's the limit. Better sure as $hit know what your doing behind the wheel. Finding the limit, if you dare is part of the allure of the car. It's so razor sharp it can make the foolish feel invincible. You get out what you put into the cgt, there's nothing else like it. It's a beast of a car that few can really tame, but when you do, it rewards like no other.
I was trying to understand why I'm not interested in the latest and greatest super cars today. For me the 997.2 GT3RS and CGT are ALL the performance I will ever want or need from a road car. Of course cars today are faster because they have even more power than the two I mentioned. But in today's world more power means more driver aids. I call it pseudo driving.

Something that showed up today.

cgt04115

Awesome! I need one for the garage. Where did you get it?

nuvolari612
