as the black CGT was owned by a somewhat notorious fellow (VR Alexander) that frequently drove and filmed his CGT around the LA area. He was killed while driving up pikes peak I believe a few years ago (911 turbo I think). Driving the cars sanely like a normal car especially in traffic and around the city should not present any more issues than any other car. A viper, t-bucket roadster, cobra kit car, etc. can get you in just as much trouble as any CGT when driven irresponsibly. It is as much the mentality of the driver that is at fault in these situations as anything.

On an irrelevant side note...VR Alexanders CGT had straight pipes and/or an aftermarket exhaust and while louder, does not sound nearly as good as the stock exhaust system.
