Yet they want one because it represents the pinnacle of sport car performance which will never be fully enjoy other than owning it. You are what you love. Hey there is nothing wrong with that.
I have to jump in now. I DO NOT fully agree, especially regarding Mike. Mike wouldn't be here if he wasn't truely interested in the CGT. A "poser" would never join internet forums to talk about their (future) car, for "posers" it is enough to know that the car is expensive, "wanted" and exclusive.
Let me put it this way: if I had the money to be able to buy ANY car I want out there, my garage would probably have several dozens of different cars, including the CGT, McLaren F1, Enzo and others. And yes, I would drive them on the street because this is what cars are meant for. I suffered like an animal in a cage watching my former 996 Turbo staying in the garage and not finding the time to drive it. I'm sure there are enough people out there who feel the same and who would never keep a car, even a supersportscar, in the garage.
I even know of a guy in Germany who uses his Porsche 959 as a daily driver, unbelievable.
That said, I think the whole discussion goes the "envy" path now and if true, this would be very sad. Most of us here in the forum are pretty wealthy people and even if some of us can't afford to buy a CGT, we can afford buying a 996 or maybe a Boxster. Most people in the world aren't even half as fortunate as we are. So why starting to argue about "rich and arrogant" people or about showing-off something. Of course I also want to show-off a little bit of what I have when I buy a Porsche. But so do most of BMW, Audi, etc. owners too. On a different (money) level but they do. This whole discussion got out of control and we should stop it before somebody says something he might regret later on.
We're adult and mature people, christmas and the holiday season aren't far away, PEACE TO THE WORLD now guys.
