Very nice. When I went in the other day the dealer had the first/only 2019 Cayenne in the USA sitting there. It came on the truck with my car I guess and was enroute to PEC Atlanta. I am not much of an SUV guy but it was cool seeing the first one.

Wow...2 918s. Sweet. One of these days, I have to have one (if not 2) of those puppies in my garage

Would love to sit in a 918 someday. I came across a troupe of them in Austria back in 2014 - there were 6-7 of them on some sort of tour near Innsbruck. Still the only time I've witnessed that car in person.

CGT will never win the magazine stat stroke off but I bet you’ll never get someone who’s driven both to say the 918 is a better driver’s car.

probably because most CGT drivers are dead ? ;-) Sorry, easy joke... I know it's much better now with the new tires... That said in all seriousness a modern Turbo S will smoke the CGT, it's getting hard to justify the $million cost.

It's a collector car more than a drivers car. My 991.1 is light years faster than a 993 - maybe even a STINGER! But.... values are quite different for similar miles and condition. Hell - we're all faster than a Mira or 250GT too

Am I safe to assume from your comments that you’ve never driven a CGT?

Last time I was at my dealer they had FIVE CGT's in the house.

Only one for sale though.

Oh, and a 918, just in case that's your flavor.

Not to mention a few .1 GT3 RS's. A .2 GT3 Manual in Arrow Blue. A .2 GT3 Touring. A pair of 997 GT2's. Etc.

My dealer is dangerous to visit.

x2. I would much rather own a CGT than a 918. I'll never forget the first time I saw one brand new and then heard it's motor fire and rev, and then speed away. Out of this world. Literally made the hair on my neck stand up.
