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.

Yeah, I was aware of who drove the black CGT and how he met his maker. I had seen him a few times on TV usually somehow tied in with Tanner Foust (before ATG) along with Porsches. The guy knew his stuff on P-Cars but to me from the episodes I saw on TV, screamed arrogant a-hole.
Couldn't agree more on the V-10 exhaust, the black CGT's (VR's) note was obnoxious. The downshift and subsequent howl at 7:27 does indeed sound about as wicked as it gets.
Regarding the speed of the CGT, we'll all find that out eventually.
