shouldn't "somebody" be posting how "only 1% of drivers will be able to drive this car and where can you even drive it" about now?

the diff between the CGT and the rest is that this one is the real deal for the enthusiant whereas the rest are jewelry for poseurs.

well nick, upon picking up that cayenne turbo, i found out there is a track in nevada which a couple of locals (here) rent for the day. if that's the case, my car will see the track.
incidentally, one of my favorite things about the CGT is less than 1% of all people on the roads will know i was such an arsehole as to have spent $500k on a car for myself. on the other hand, 99%+ of the people on the road think ferraris (even the entry level one - 360), cost $500k and have opinions about how that reflects on those driving them (that is for the couple miles a month they drive - er: wear them)
btw, yes the CGT is overrated. how else do you explain it's spot at the top of the top gear track times

"and seeing as how it takes a top professional to extract the best out of it, whats the point of all this track ability in the real world?"
because some of us would rather be challenged than drive luxo automatic GT cruisers which drive themselves at the limit.

Regarding driveway jewelry, it is my understanding, you like most buyers of the CGT, will not race or track the car. Spending a 1/2 million dollars on a car solely for performance and not track it or race it is the quintessential definition of a posuer.

I have no doubt that some Ferrari owners track their cars. I was responding to Nicks statment that no CGT owners are going to track their cars. In my humble and limited experience, i am led to believe that more porsches are tracked and raced than ferraris. I think there will be CGT owners that track them, and 360 owners will continue to drive their car twice a month. I own a porsche and will track it. Other Porsche owners I know track their cars. The few Ferrari owners I know would never drive their car, designed for high performance, to a track and race. One such owner I happen to work with. He owns a 2000 360 and it has 7,000 miles on it. I don't beleive he is taking it to the track any time soon! I don't mean to attack, but in my opinion that is the driveway jewlery and the quintessential definition of a posuer!
And Nick if you track your car, congrats, but I doubt you do.
