Good to see the over rev's didn't halt the sale.

Believe two things will change in the future.

2004's will be worth the same as 2005's and Silver will be preferred.

I feel better saying that now that you own a Special Silver.

Over revs very minor (was told by 3 separate cgt techs that almost all have minor over revs).

No reason why a 2005 should be worth more than a 2004. Don't make sense.

I believe the lines and design of this car is sooo beautiful and timeless that it starts appealing more and more as time goes by. A real classic. With that said, it truly looks great in ANY color.

05s will trade at a premium as they should. Last years of production always do.

Silver is the best color for the CGT and will be top demand.

Sound great. Have full luggage here in wrapping.
Where did this car trade?

CGT000

Luggage, luggage & luggage

Private seller.

PS. Are you on LI?

These cars were made for two years and had no development done through the run. It is asinine to think an 05 is worth more than and 04. They are exactly the same car.

Also silver is by far the best color and people will come around to that. Who care if it is most common. It really is best.

Well, maybe not "exactly" the same: Porsche definitely mades some changes on the clutch for 2005 to perhaps improve the ease of use? I've driven both, and the 04 clutch has snappy and more responsive engagement than the 05 (05 feels smoother). For me, I prefer the feel of the 04 clutch.

I have been told many times that this MYTH started during journalist testing. Some had a very hard time engaging the clutch. Before customer cars were shipped they changed some of the electronics to the auto throttle. Done and done.

Maybe from car to car it feels a little different but from what I have been told the 04 electronics and clutch are exactly the same as 05. Not a damn thing different.

Is it possible that the software was slightly changed to effect the clutch engagement?

Notmelo

I own an '04, and, I have to say, the clutch was a challenge at first. Now, with almost 9,000 miles behind the wheel, it's second nature. Is it possible it gets easier to engage with age, either the car's or driver's? I have not driven an '05 for comparison, but, my '04 is a fairly high number in the year's run.

CGT000

I used to own 2 1988 Porsche 911 Turbos. The clutch on one had a different feel than the other one and I used to drive them very often.

The '04s and '05s were built the same. There shouldn't be any price difference between them.

I think come spring the CGT is going to be in a whole different price range.

As there are more and more owners wanting one for show and one for go!

Perfect storm would be Barrett Jackson selling a pair consisting of an example of both or a 918 CGT 959 combination.

Does anyone know of any CGTs scheduled to cross the auction line, Last one was the yellow at RM Auction in March.

Manhattan and LI some weekends. You?
