It seems Canepa either sold their silver GT or pulled it off the market. Does anyone know if it was sold in fact?

Does anyone know how much was the silver with PTS red from Isringhausen sold for?

Thanks.

Agree with the article - practice makes perfect so many owners choose to never bond with their CGT.

Drove an Aventador - while the owner thought it was a driving machine it felt refined in comparison.

Debating on buying the Sandy CGT and taking it to 100K miles.

That would be awesome, but from what I remember the Sandy car had a Seized Engine.

You nailed it........ I drove a 599 and felt the same.
Apparently people have realized this in GB and demand has been rising for analog Porsches as per the article.

I used to think my Challenge Stradale was raw...then I bought my CGT. I still dearly love the CS, but it feels like a daily driver in comparison! haha!

Funny you say that, I was saying the exact same thing to someone the other day. Used to have an SLS which was a bit tame, so I traded it for the SLS Black Series and I thought it was a borderline race car. That was until I bought the GT and drove it for a couple hours,then went to drive the Black Series which felt like a Rolls Royce in comparison.

My son wants me to get an aventador instead of the cgt. The lambo dealer in LA is a friend and loaned me one for the day. Very capable car on every level and the lambo V12 does sound wicked.

That said, the CGT is one of a kind!!!

CGT owners really run in small circles - great minds think alike

You guys should try the 16M - it's still relatively inexpensive and like the CGT will not depreciate.

It's F1 hard shifts are a gas and Michael Schumacker contributed to the development and unveiled it.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen a CGT owner also have a 16M or Ford GT in their stable, sometimes even both!

Plastique999

Totally agree!
Love mine and the 16M is such a different animal than the CGT but so wicked in its own right. I'll hold on to both for a very long time.

I'll be driving the 16M to one of the last C&C Irvine Meets in Socal. Shame that it's ending this location.

Hi Plastique,
I met you at the toy drive last year in my black CGT (we caravanned after to lunch on PCH with a few others) . I will also try to make this last C&C as well (I'll be driving my black Ford GT). I'd love to talk to you about the 16M. Now that a Ferrari dealership is opening in Torrance, I'm becoming very interested in Ferrari (but don't know much about them).

Plastique999

Mike! Of course, how've you been?
I actually went to the C&C this morning - it was a zoo. So the last one on the 27th is going to be insane!
We should meet up and you can drive my 16M to get a feel for it - very different from the CGT and I imagine from your FGT as well.
The 16M feels very "light" and nimble vs the CGT. It's a nice stark contrast.

nuvolari612

My .02 on the 16M.

At high rev's the shifts are insane.

Where the car shines and it's not spaghetti like other Spiders is in race mode.

You have to trust the set up it's phenomenal.

Mine is slightly lowered with a full Capristo - adds 40 - 50 hp making the car come alive both in sound and power.

It feels lighter due to the way Ferrari tunes their steering, over boosted and quick ratio, not because the car is lighter than the CGT. If anything the 16M is probably heavier than the CGT. Focus on how your bottom feels rather than how much effort your arms have to give. I have a Scuderia and it definitely do not change direction with as much commitment as the CGT despite the much shorter wheel base. I like both but the two are not in the same league.I imagine if the CGT were allowed to race it would be very competitive with proper aero in the GTE class against the 911 RSRs and 458s.

the CGT has way more than 600hp too, it breaks traction with half throttle in 3rd gear.
