Thanks for the kind words guys...
With regards to the F40/CGT performance comparison, I can only add this anecdotal experience. The other day, I was in the CGT and a very good, capable friend was driving my F40...we were side by side on a very deserted, wide open stretch of road. We did a couple of wide open runs from 2nd gear rolling starts...I was amazed at the shattering level of performance of the F40. Once it nudged ahead, the second time dead even, and the third time, slightly behind initially, then caught up.
The F40 performance was shatteringly fast (and sounded incredible)...I am sure that over a longer distance the CGT might outrun it, but I am amazed how 1992 technology and low weight = 2005 matching performance. Once boost kicked in, the "horses" were unleashed.
This is not a scientific comparison, but just a feel for what happened on the street.

That must have been a blast - next time see if you can strap a video camera to one of those beasts

That's the second time I've seen you out and about. Were you at the AHA heart walk this morning? As we were driving back I saw a silver CGT pull onto Virginia and thought to myself "I bet that belongs to RufMD..."
