well for starters its a beast. THe car was never intended to be a road car. Its a racing car that was intended to be in the LeMans series. Can you imagine Audi collecting the left over R8's and putting on sale for the public without and driving instruction?!? I don't see how CGT is any different.
Everyone I know who has driven the CGT has spun it. INcluding one guy who is no stranger to Porsches and drives a 996TT everyday, the CGT is his garage queen. I know that the GT3 has a very high attrition rate as well (and they only sell 300 a year!) and that's a much easier to drive car then the CGT. So its just a disaster waiting to happen in the wrong hands, especially before the tires up to temp. I've noticed these cars are often resold with very low if any mileage, and I oftern hear customers complain that if they had been allowed to test drive it before it first came out that they never would have put in the order. I wonder how many of them feared the car the whole time they owned it.
