Yesterday Leh Keen stopped by and drove my CGT. With TC off and all the fun we had, I almost forgot about the value of the car until he said "the CGT is 90% of an F1 for 1/25th the price".
Anyways we had a blast. I posted the video on IG and to see what the CGT capability in the hands of a pro driver is astounding. Highly recommend the experience before these cars become "too valuable" to drive, which I hope that day never comes.

I know tis' a great car but my review of it is totally opposite from above
SICK engine.
but no sound. if you are driving it, even top down, I hear nothing. all my friends BEHIND me tells me how great it sounds at WOT or when I blip to downshift... but I hear nothing....
handling? this is one of the scariest car I have ever driven.. if you hit a deep dip or big bump at speed, EVEN going straight... get ready to catch and gather up the car when it lands.....
why I like it???
after a drive, I back it into the garage, close my eyes shut the engine down "whew.... I did not kill myself today... only soiled my pants.. it's a good day..." then I go on my merry way....

I agree completely. That's why I sold mine and now own a 918.
Funny, I don't find it scary at all at any time other than ice cold tires and if I stupidly hammer the throttle...I guess the race cars have trained me well for a car like this. It handles the way you'd expect a race car to handle...rewards proper inputs...dissuades stupidity.
Very accurate assessment on the sound. That's why I installed a set of GMG exhaust on my CGT. It's better than stock, but my 918 Spyder still sounds a lot better "inside the cockpit." Everybody else tells me how crazy my CGT sounds, except I can't enjoy it myself

^That's a pretty accurate review. Its a handful and then some.
Sorry about your pants Mooty.
I now wear costco sweat pants they absorb better than slacks.

I raced 996/997 cups for many years. CGT is not a stable car by any stretch of the imagination. you can catch it. but the chassis needs a lot more development. but as it, it's fun to dance with the devil.

I will drive behind your CGT and enjoy the symphony

If you're in NorCal you will have to ride with Mooty on "the loop"
There is a reason the car scares him, and terrifies those in the passenger seat.
This car moves around more than anything I've been in, it's VERY lively.
