Default The Carrera GT

Is it only me or the Carrera GT is one of the hottest Porsches ever built? I've never been a fan of Porsche; yes I like them, but I don't actually love them, I'd take a Ferrari, TVR or Lambo instead.
But, dude... the CGT is hot. Sounds better than the Enzo, looks better than the Gallardo, and it's a Porsche. Appart from the Zonda, I think the CGT is one of my favorite modern cars, and that's quite surprising considering that I never liked that much of Porsches.
What about you? Yes yes or no no?

hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wounder what st-anger thinks lol

Although I have not had the pleasure to drive the car, I agree, it is one of the best cars around. Porsche also have the best value car as well IMO, the GT3 cost around 70k which is damn good money!!

the only prob i have with the car are the looks, radically conservative you know, or actually as radical as porsche will get. still kinda conservative but not that radical like a zonda or enzo, the way a real supercar is supposed to be. lovely sound, gaudy and show stopping looks and the numbers to back it up.

if u were to give me a choice between the CGT or a GT2 id take the GT2, it looks better. (IMO)

I dont think that people buying either of those cars had looks as their #1 priority (not that they dont look great), but also are you high a gt2 over a CGT?

GT2 over the CGT? I would choose the CGT, is better looking but, most important of everything, it's one of the most fast, funny, scary and technological cars in the world. Carbon fibre chassis, and also the structure where the engine is mounted is made from carbon fibre, carbon-ceramics brakes, also the clutch is made form CF ( i think, or it's carbon-ceramic) and so on. it's a pure device of driving

i just really dont like the cgt's looks, it does nothing for me when i look at it. no matter how a car performs if u dont like the look u wont like the car. i really prefer a gt2 to a cgt. on performance i do recognize that the cgt is better but id still take a gt2. a gt2 aint that far behind cgt, it could hold its own in a head to head with the cgt.

Personally I don't know what ll the fuss is about, CGT looks like a toyota MR2 on steroids. Its like looking at beautiful woman, when you're impotent...NOTHING.

The SLR on the other hand....
