Default I'm back to the Porsche world, only this time with a 2005 Guards Red CGT!

Can't believe I haven't logged into this site for 2.5 years. My 911TT was one of my favorites, but I joined the Ferrari and Lambo world for a while. I have another Lambo coming in a couple months, but after riding in Leadfoot's CGT I thought I would try one out until my new car arrived.

Now, I'm not sure if I'll sell it when my new car comes. This car is absolutely amazing. I thought I loved my Aventador coupe, but didn't realize how disconnected I felt from the road until now. My only issue with the 911TT was that it didn't look exotic enough. The CGT has cured that problem, and has combined an exotic look with the legendary Porsche driving experience.

I usually put less than 100 miles on my exotics per month. I put 300 on during my first 3 drives with the CGT. My only gripe so far is roof removal, I need to search for a cockpit cover while it's in my garage so that I can jump in and go without worrying about taking the panels off

Welcome! The car only gets better as you get more familiar with the car. My guess is that any Lambo or Ferrari isn't going to measure up for a while.

I would say Ferrari is second, Lambo is third when comparing pure driving experience. Especially after getting the hang of the CGT clutch. For the first day, I was sweating bullets at every slight incline!

Definitely! Took it to the Regis the other night, I said it was a very rare car but the valet mentioned that you had one too. You're stealing my thunder without even being there

Congrats! The car is such a special driving experience. I don't think I can ever let mine go. Nice to hear you compare it to Ferrari and Lambo.
I'd say my 16M is a real close second, of course it being much easier to drive.
But the CGT is much more rewarding.

How many miles does it have on it and has the clutch been replaced yet?
