Im glad that Porsche had the stones to make such a balls to the walls sports car. Sadly its also the only sports car they make anymore. If I could rationalize spending that much $$$ on a toy I would get one.

OK, this is what happened.
1) Technician ( a Great Guy, by the way ) taking drive for
PDI ( Pre Delivery Inspection ) He is the only guy allowed to do this particular duty with all GT's.
2) Brand new SOLD car, 16 miles, which is low compared to some other GTs which have more miles. My customer,and friend
Danny C. GT had exactly 50 miles on it at delivery. The cars
are only driven on the Leipzig test track by factory drivers. I've driven on the track, by the way. Unbelievable!!! The point is, the tires were very "Green".
It take a new tire about 200 miles to really get broken in.
3) It RAINED...
4) Technician claims somebody cut him off, and there was no
place to go. Atlantic Blvd west, just about to jump on the
ramp to I-95. Down here in Florida where there really is no place to enjoy our sports cars, we call this " Crushing "
the ramp. I Crush the Oakland-Park Blvd. I-95 ramp in my 997
almost every day. On a good day; 3rd gear red-line.
5) Black GT ends up in precarious position, over shallow
revine; with moderate damage to under carriage. Car will be repaired like new. We deliver another Black GT to anxious customer. He's happy.
6)Mayhem here, but that's the car business. Literally one hour later; first pictures on the web.
What can we learn from this ?
New GT's are a big time handfull with cold, new ,tires in the rain.
Porsche technicians, are not Porsche race drivers.
The internet has made the world an immediate news environment, and a much smaller place. It is truly amazing.

I honestly do not know how anyone can drive the CGT safely in the rain. My 430 has a setting for slippery raining conditions and it only has 483hp and weighs more than the CGT.

First they introduce a button to shift gears automatically and now you guys don't know how to shift manually. Then they give you a button to accelerate properly and now you don't know how to launch your cars using your feet. And now a setting for slippery conditions were you will soon forget how to do it using your common senses.
The next thing Ferrari will have a button for self ejaculation where you guys will forget how to f**k!
Well, I guess we'll have more episodes of Desperate Housewives.
