I took it out for a quick drive again... and I am convinced that there is no car more fun than this... at least under 500k. God damnit just racking up miles lol. More smile on my face though. Pretty small price to pay for happiness i guess. Only problem. I drive like the most civilized person next to a police car... and the officer was keep checking out my car. Sports exhaust off. Drive at 20mph.



tldr - too much fun.

no, it's not 3x fun of 3.8
don't worry about guilt, you may very likely be dead tomorrow.
I had let see broken thumb surgery, strange bump on elbow surgery, retina blew up in ways my optho was literally amazed, and fractured scapula all in 24 months. and I am in better shape than 90% of the GT3RS drivers ...
just drive the fkg car

My first thought was CGT.
CGT yes
18k correct and today it's doing pastry run


making latte at home see my value thread lol

You are right, 997 GT cars may be the “it”
no, the ultimate model American car is FGT the one just before the current one.
salon S7 is like a MG. it breaks often.

Ok no guilt but i dont wanna die lol. Im gonna drive wheels off this car. That was the only thing holding me back but my 30s is too short to save mileage on car so i can get extra 10k on resale down the road.


Man fgt is cool but I prefer cgt. Hopefully I win powerball or sth.

Wise words. My partner saved all his $ and drove Japanese econo cars. Refused to spend any $ on himself. Diagnosed with prostate cancer recently.

If you buy wisely a car is just $ in a different form.

As to the ultimate American muscle car once again Mooty nailed it. Gen II FGT for many reasons.

CGT. A few years after buying a CGT, I sold several 997 gt’s, f scud, f speciale, f CS, FGT, a couple 991’s, a 964rs and a few other odds/ends. So, I saved a TON of money and hassle when I bought a CGT

Am I reading this correctly that Espresso drink pics are the new Dog pics. If that's the case, I'm going to learn how to make foamy designs.

After owning both I agree with him that FGT is much better compromise car than CGT; so is 997rs for that matter. If no compromise needed, no contest.

FGT is an aluminum car that competed with F430 back in the day, CGT is a CF car competing with Enzo and MC12 back in the days... 2 different classes of car. Only problem is CGT is over 1mil now that I am looking hard at either NFGT or Senna. Any thoughts?

I’m pretty sure you could find a higher mile GT silver CGT under 1m. Aren’t Senna and NFGT similar price range?

For the money and in similar time period/genre as 997rs, I am a big fan of Scud for slightly more insane, but less refined experience vs a 997rs. Scud not as good of a car overall as 997rs. RS more precise and manual. But the super-fast 2 gearbox in scud adds to the overall insane experience. It is my fave non-3 pedal trans I’ve ever driven (fun; not performance). DCT can be a bit seamless and boring but clearly it’s the best performing. Most single clutch boxes are truly abysmal. Scud is a riot on and off track. It’s one of most fun experiences I’ve had on track in a street car. V8 ferrari wailing behind your head, that single clutch box slamming up/down the gears, hydraulic steering, TONS of feel/feedback, tires will squeal/lock up before any nannies. It is not planted, it slides around but in a balanced way. It is a really fun car in a similar track-focused mid/late 2000’s vein as the 997rs. I wouldn’t call it the “after/progression” car from 997rs but it is a ton of fun in a similar genre but still very different from the Rs.

Sorry, I’m confused. This is you yesterday. Now your shopping a NFGT or Senna?

Anyway, I provided my advice. I’m sure you will let us know what you buy and I’m sure Pics won’t be in the offing.

I believe nfgt will be trending down for a while since there will be more cars after 2 year no sale agreement. And comparable cgt is in 1.3M zone. More than 50 percent difference. And i really wish you move on with your life and stop sniffing my a ss for a pic. Just go find a pic of grey RS on google.
