Nice choices, love the Audi. If I had the money I think the Audi would make a great addition for some fun driving and track time. Rated very well and I like the unique look. What color is he getting? What color will the 'blade' be? I played around on the website a couple months ago, I think I liked the black with the carbon fiber blade. I don't like too much contrast or it looks a bit weird.

Post some pics when he gets it.

He's thinking white with the carbon fiber blade. Gunmetal or Black wheels and all the exterior pieces such as the grill and vents will also be done in carbon fiber. Give it that monochrome look. There are few cars I like in white but, Porsche's, the Gallardo and the R8 all look good in white. He's not a fan of black cars as they tend to hide the bodylines and who wants to do that.;)

I think for what he wanted he got a good deal. If I wanted a super race car, Id get the CGT, its the balls. But if I wanted a sweet fast ride I would get those cars. Very nice, im just surprised your dad doesnt have a dedicated race car.

hmm....dedicated race car you say..

89' 3.2L, roll cage, racing seats, completely gutted. The engine just got a full rebuild. They bought the car from some guy in Houston. He is part owner with our Porsche body man being the other, couldn't have picked a better person to buy a race car with.;)

They said I could run it around the track at the upcoming OctoberFast. I think I'll take them up on the offer.

great call on the Ford....ha....you will rarely here those words come out of my mouth....I think its a great car, I am guessing he didn't get the Mach 5 looking paint job, too bad, I do have a soft spot for it....

I can't say I like anything about the audi, a fan of the CGT but in the end...he's got 2 great cars....instead of 1 great ca....and if his heart wasn't sold on the CGT, then he's winning by buying what HE wants.....post pics!

All I can say is WOW !

Wow! How awesome is that? The golden age of motorsports, if you ask me.

Uh . . . Will he adopt me please? :D

I found that video about a year ago. Probably watched it a dozen times. I love the CGT.


YellowBox, I can't saw I would have done the same with that money, but I've never had that much money to spend on cars. I do like both the R8 and the FGT, both sexy cars at the opposite end of the looks spectrum.

I think he made a good choice. :cheers:

I like this one a lot too:

Absolutely the most kick ass sounding car I've heard. The sound is absolutely intoxicating.

Which is more to the point. Why buy more of the same? It's time to step it up to the next level. ;) :)

Greetings fellas!

I recently placed an order on a new 987 S Gray/Terracotta

On a side note, what i am really anxious for is the enzo my dad ordered in may and is due to arrive in a couple of weeks after i broke his mclaren f1's engine last summer on a crazy graduation celebration (whoops!) hehe...

Well, my dad has a 98 Volvo. Sometimes I even get to drive it. I know, I know, you are all jealous.

Not as jealous as I know you'd be of my dad's '96 Ford Explorer (and yes, it is the sport model, FTW!).

I love the Audi R8 there are a few in Aberdeen and they look amazing and sound incredible.

I think thats quite cool buying the 2 cars but am surprised by getting the Audi that the Ford GT would appeal and not something more exotic like a Lambo Murci or a Gallardo roadster or a F435.

Still he is going to be one hell of a happy chap.
Have ford sorted the reliability issues on the GT.

The phrase "more money than sense" pops into my head for some reason.

And who says the $3.17 a gallon we are paying for gas isn't going to a good cause.

He has a Gallardo hardtop and an F355 spider. He tried ordering an F430 spider from Ferrari and they won't take his money so, he found another company that would.

He got the last model GT so, all should be taken care of. The biggest advantage to both of these cars is they can be serviced in town. His Lambo and Ferrari have to be transported to Springfield or Dallas for anything more than an oil change.

My only experience with a CGT was in Cherry Hill in Denver. My wife and I were enjoying breakfast outside and I heard this engine noise...I turned quickly to see a CGT sitting at a stop sign...I will never forget that sound...unbelievable

altough the ford is fast, that has to be the guliest car ever. my opinion of course.
theres a guy here in chicago that has a twin turbo one, and its wicked fast

the audi on the other hand, now that is nice, i sat in one, and loved it, i bet that thing drives awesome.

good luck with both cars, some very nice expencive toys ;)

You're dad has a beautiful collection of cars, whatever he does for a living, he's obviously very successful at it, and I'm sure you're proud! :cheers:

Be sure to post pics when the new stable mates arrive.
