I think the CGT group IS a bit of a club, but not in the sense that some of you guys are taking it to re being exclusionary. If you have a CGT now, you likely weren't one of those who (and there were MANY) who just bought one because they were cool, tried to drive it...got freaked out by the clutch or some of the dynamics and then sold it. If you have it now, you likely bought before the goldrush and held onto it as well...it's really the ultimate hypercar experience value, and I mean that fully. There are a few guys with f1's and CGTs (Id wager most f1 drivers have or have had a CGT actually) who have said the CGT is a large percentage (varies, the highest being 90) of the F1's drive experience in special factor which is pretty incredible. Given that the CGT market is still relatively small, especially given that way fewer exist now than when they were built...pretty much every time I've had a chat with another collector and there's a CGT in (or was in) their collection they've put miles on, they tend to be pretty fun people to talk to. There's definitely a bit of an aura around the CGT community now, and it's pretty special...granted its not likely anything like the GTO or F1 "club" where people may want to actually be one of the very, VERY few, but to have and drive a CGT is def a bit of a special club in itself as well.

I’ve never had any interest in 918, P1, LaF, Enzo, f40/50 or any hyper/super/whatever ott car. The closest thing to that category I’ve owned is mid-2000’s FGT and that is a stretch to be put in that category.
i did not buy it to be in any club. I actually didn’t even know for sure that I wanted one. I never lusted after it from afar. I got a decent entry point to own what I considered to be the most amazing Porsche ever built. I assumed it wasn’t for me long-term. I am a Porsche enthusiast first and foremost and assumed I’d check the box of owning a CGT, but move back to where I’m more comfortable in the RS and AC’d 911 world. After owning it a few years, I sold every car I owned (fun car) and stop buying future Porsche GT product. This is after buying almost every Porsche gt product to roll off the line from 2007 to 2020. The 718 spyder/gt4 was the first time I told my dealer to pass on anything in the GT lineup. And I’m passing on the 992. I have an old man 1965 911 to get coffee, take pics and drive slow on the perfect sunny Sunday. I’ll pick up a 918/718 CS for track at some point. The CGT gets every bit of my fun street duty in the performance category. It has ruined me for wanting anything other than an antique and a dedicated track car. But I’m still not in a club that I’m aware of. I probably was trying more for “club status” attempting to own every RS gen from 73 to current and LW v8 ferrari. I was pretty damn close to completing that collection until the CGT caused me to sell it all!
the CGT won my allegiance based purely on behind-the-wheel goosebumps over a long period of time like no other combination of cars, let alone 1 car, has ever done before. If I want utility, I’ll drive a Range Rover. I don’t care much for the half fun/ half utility car anymore. I don’t care much for the half street, half track car anymore either. That’s purely personal preference. I used to love both. If I’m not going for ice cream or coffee (65 duty), all that seems to address the craving is a hit of CGT crystal meth.

I am with you Jrtaylor9... no interest in any other supercar/hypercar (maybe soft spot for P1 because of how damn good the car looks, but then remember the $125+k battery...). Also not interested in anything hybrid/electric or F-car.
Club? Too busy driving by myself, with my kids or with good friends to think about it. I think mooty and I fail the dress code for clubs, but can eat our way into or tell time well enough to start our own club.
A hit of CGT crystal meth! Nicely said! Also realize you need a real drive to do that. Not a highway or a few on ramps, but an extended canyon, country or mountain road.

CGT bespoke with patents that were never passed down on another Porsche or any other factory - everything today is a cross section of factories and parts with an extension cord attached.
The CGT was a perfect storm car - it's never going to be repeated.

Didn't work out too bad for you did it??? My Birthday is around the corner in case you were wondering.. I remember telling you about the CGT like it was the second coming of Christ, and the crazy thing is after owning 3 now I love them even more! That's why I think it's only owners that really drive and get to know the car can understand it. If you're a car journalist for example, or I guess they're called 'YouTubers' now, and they jump in one for a review, there's no way to really get the essence of it. I hope to keep my current blonde bombshell 'till I can't drive her anymore.

ilusso sold their silver / blk 5k mile in decent shape - specmysenna ig - ask was 1.4m. After the sale CGT went to the P dealer for an engine out.
