Well, I guess compared to the CGT, the Ford GT is a bargain.

Perhaps someone else from England (Or other countries where he is known--if any) could explain better than I could.

W.Roehl never actually drove it on the ring?

No doubt this car is a fabulous performance car but clearly requires driving abilities that 99.9 of the human race does not have.

Mike,
If you don't mind me asking, will you be driving the car frequently?

Now I cannot speak to your IROC 911 but if you believe that car is as powerful if not more so than the CGT why are you paying close to $500,000 for the CGT? I know the radar business is good (and you have the best) is it that good?

Walter Roehrl is quoted that only 5% of the buyers will be able to drive the car as it should/could be driven

Have you read the article on the CGT in CAR magazine? Walter Roehrl is quoted that only 5% of the buyers will be able to drive the car as it should/could be driven. So my estimate of 99.9 people on the planet not being able to drive it should be pretty close to being accurate.
CAR also states it is fabulous supercar but not particularly conducive to highway and public road driving. Basically you feel every bump, scrap every dip and drive with a very uncooperative/uncomfortable clutch.

The few journalist that were given the opportunity to drive the GCT in conditions other than under carefully monitored conditions apparently had problems with the vehicle. One run into a pole, the other smashed the gears and another blown an engine.
These were automobile writer's with credential's in which Porsche entrusted the vehicle. Yet there were serious mishap's.

Steve do you believe for one minute that the journalist were not screened by Porsche before handing the keys to a $440,000 vehicle to them? Make no mistake, there were credentialed drivers.

My point about the cost of the car deals more with buying something you cannot use. Many are buying the car for performance and when the designer of the car indicates that only 5% of the buyers can use it to its potential, one must ask why buy it for that kind of money? The potential is what you are paying for!!!!
