the CGT's clutch is wholey, and completely different
and dropping from 8000 isn't the same as normal first and second gear starts (not launches)
the CGT is altogether another animal....
lets mention what the F1 does... it is the lightest for its time, and it accellerates the best to 60 mph for its time... i'm not so sure about 0-100mph...
its built using some uber exotic materials, and processes.
it isn't the fastest, and it isn't the best handling; or greatest feel in handing. It isn't the only 3 seat hypercar; 3 seat was an option in the Vector well before the F1 came out
It wasn't the most powerful car in its day... i'm unsure about braking... but i would think it would do well concidering its weight.... i seem to recall it having the 0-100-0 record... but how many other early 90's supercars were put through that test in similar conditions, and identical pavement?
heck, if pavement is smooth enough... the SRT-10 manages a 107 ft. braking distance from 60 mph...
was the F1 a good car? definately.
Was it the best, definately not.
why is it uber gay? Because people think its the best, when many owners think otherwise. (granted, they still like the car, and such)
