as it would put them on top, even against such beasts as that Chrysler 412, and the Corvette blue devil, etc, future Ford GT, etc... If not, what aftermarket makers will do it?:)

I don't think people buy CGT's for their straight-line performance.
very well put!
If people are shoping for straight-line performace they should get a dragster.

While cars like the CGT are optimized for laptimes, I'm sure straight-line performance is a concern. The average buyer will buy the CGT to drive on the autobahn or highway (not on the track), and the next thing, some SLXX AMG with 700HP blows by the CGT, all for $200K less. How would the CGT buyer feel? Of course, HP is all about bragging rights and marketing.

So what I think you are saying is, that the more mature CGT owner will have appreciate his car for its high level of all-round ability, and feel sorry for the one-trick-pony which might occasionally blast past him if a long enough clear straight ever comes along on the Autobahn, especially when the O.T.P. leaves the Autobahn at the first string of curves, regardless of the fact that there is no exit.
Did I understand you right?

gonna take more than 700 hp for any of those porkers to "blow by the CGT" on any performance measure.
