Hey CGT LA, I was trying to understand what exactly you were trying to say ?
What does the "good try" refer to ?
0-100kph (62,1mph) was measured independently by Sport Auto mag at 3.8s so that presumably answers your "prevailing thought" as this is measured fact ?
The diff between 3000 and 3200lb is 1361kg and 1451kg so 90kg, are you trying to make the point that 90kg is insignificant ?
CGT power to weight on the road (in lbs/hp) is 5.3 to 1 but there are other turbo cars like the GT2RS at 4.99 to 1 with turbo torque curves which have a lot more power under the curve so are faster than the CGT in all increments and especially over 150mph where the CGT really suffers in acceleration due to its CdA - it doesn't sound or feel like the CGT running full revs through 5th and 6th tho'
