    The interior of the CGT is far superior. Then again the Enzo is ALL business.

    the CGT is disgustingly uncomfortable...the seat adjusts TWO ways..only...the clutch is a C**t...but dollar for dollar...it cant be touched for thrill of driving...crowd appeal and basic WOW factor...i had an F1 430 spyder last year and while it was a blast to drive..for pure driving thrills, ya gotta shift for yourself...so..even tho the enzo is more than 3x the price...the CGT is the winner..and ya get to drive topless, try that in an enzo :)

    hard to read intent on the internet but you sound like an ass. no one cares about your cars or your boat. why don't you hang out here for a more than week before calling long time members out. BTW, the pics remark was clearly a joke ... a standard joke used on many forums, including this one. (it usually goes "pics or BAN" but same difference.)

    anyway i don't think you really want to see pap's pics. :)

    I'm asking the same question of myself. But our opportunity is coming around again..............

    Paul, beautiful CGT. Don't take it personal.......its a tough crowd around here sometimes.

    interesting opinion. i do look for both of those qualities in an exotic supercar. it's no fun having a car that breaks down all the time or is rickety. are they the most important qualities? no. but they are important.

    it's important to note that reliability of a supercar is not the same thing as reliability with a daily driver. the drivetrain is more highly stressed (as it should be!) so more maintenance will be required. but, e.g., you don't want your e-diff to go out 3 times in 1000 miles as mine has.

    hmm...

    fer starters..if thats not "calling you out"..i dont know what is..

    and if thats's "just asking for pics"....you are either lacking in finese/charm or just a dummy...i'll go with the former..

    now, if you had a "smiley" after the gtfo"..maybe, maybe you could say "just asking for pics"

    regardless..it's in the past. semper fi

    All right are we all friends now??? Lets get back on subject................

    Someone previously posted that they would rather have a "bunch" of other cars then just one Enzo. I have debated this back and forth. I can't afford an Enzo plus all those other cars...........but the thought has run through my mind to get rid of everything else and just pick one up and be happy with just ONE exotic. But then I wake up :) I kinda like having other exotics in my garage. So my answer would be in favor of having a CGT unless I could afford an Enzo plus everything else in my garage.

    love em both, carerra gt has a true manual tranny and no roof which is fun so that makes it more desirable for me to DRIVE, but the Enzo has fabulous lines, better panache, and is worth more so it's the better car to OWN.

    I'd consider myself extremely fortunate to own either, so...
    'nuff said.

    As far as I'm concerned, there's one Fchatter that can answer this question (remember the op's question was about build quality and reliability) with great accuracy. I have a CGT and can't answer about the Enzo having only sat in one. He owns both and drives both. We've recently been exchanging messages comparing the two. I'll let him speak up if he wants to. What I can tell you is that the build quality of the CGT is outstanding. Reliability has been also for the 1.5 years I've owned it. Can't speak for the first 2.5 years of its existence.

    Personally I prefer driving my Enzo in a utilitarian mannner...... such as runs to Wal-Mart, the movies, McDonalds etc etc etc. It was really designed for purposes such as these. I find that it draws less attention than my CGT with its "look at me please" retractable rear spoiler and howling exhaust note. Both maintain entirely different personas and demand different attention you might say. Quite honestly I find myself waxing over with both as they are far too plentiful today. I am in the market for something more challenging to my senses. I am searching for ....... oh dear....how should I put it... more Koenig'zonda'gatti'esqu to fill my current desires.

    I would post pics but I find myself in the South of France with no accessibility to photos at this time.

    first of all, could you please take a crash course on internet forums and learn how to quote? use the 'quote' button. you seem to be removing the 'quote' tags for some reason or maybe you are copy/pasting instead of using the quote button. your posts are indecipherable.

    now then, his post was neither. in fact, quite the opposite. it was not one iota disprespectful, in fact quite the opposite. again, it was a standard idiom asking for pics. please be less insecure and have a sense of humor. i take back my earlier comment, you might actually be a decent guy who has just bought his first computer or something. (although, seriously, no one cares if you have a cgt or not. this is not a ricer board.)
