I have to say I don't think the CGT was being taken to top speed in the video. I've ridden with the owner of the CGT where he was hitting 165-170 per the speedometer, and in my 951 I hit 135 max on that straight (per GPS, about 140 per speedo.) Judging from the video it doesn't look like the CGT was carrying 30+ mph more than me in that segment. Since it wasn't the owner driving the CGT in this session, I expect the driver backed off a little.
I just think it's pretty cool that a great driver in a very fast 15-year old FEWC Porsche can catch a competent driver in Porsche's latest Supercar like that!

Just in light of today's availability of 16v tech, that would be the more common choice for a 3.0L by preference I would have thought?
How's your car going Jase?

All's well, mate.
Making a list for Santa as we speak...Hmm, cool shirt for the heat of the summer is always a nice one.
Gut the electrics and simplify my life...Just need a few wires only.
How's by you?
