    Yes the is, in the used CP.

    I dont use it though as you tend to miss out on some of the real stupidity.

    Oh here, look at this one:

    This will give you a taste of what we deal with here every now and then, and why we can also come off as a little rough. It gets good on page 3.

    Paul- Could be a fun thread. I love my 575 and, unlike the majority here, it is a real stretch for me to afford. I thought the 599 could have been made into a really nice spider to compete with the CGT a bit better. Looks like the HGTE package is all it will receive, however. Performance-wise, I guess, the CGT has it, but the two are close. Prices on 599s are now in the sub-$250K range for some 2007s, quite a bit less than a CGT, but still close for most 599s. Would probably cause even more knife-fights than the CGT vs Enzo. The 599 will likely depreciate much faster. Now I will stand back and take my hits.

    Dont sweat it Paul. We get this kind of thing a lot here, so we tend to be pretty cynical. And by a lot I mean a TON! My sig has a short list of them but they are legion it seems.

    sorry if i am being ******, i just don't like guys who a) can't take a joke and b) feel they need to show off or prove how cool they are by how much money they have.

    i'm sure you're neither and you just took [some small] offense at what was an innocent remark.

    i don't know why i felt the need to post this. oh well.

    CGT is my favorite car. although, i don't have an enzo and have never even seen one in person so i'm not going to out and out say it's not better. one of the things i understand about the enzo is that it has some insane level of downforce ... WITHOUT a wing. just look at the nurburgring times. i do dislike the paddle shift though (for a street car).

    i would bet the enzo is easier to drive than the cgt. i mean at the limit, not getting groceries.

    Mouse is correct in that GTFO does tend to be a joke. For example were you to post up some pics of former girlfriends I would like throw this one up...!

    a- i can take a joke /give one out/and laugh at one as much as anybody :)
    b- if i felt the need to show off..after lurking for 1 yr..and posting about my CGT..and then saying i dont have pics available..YOU"D think i'd WANNA post pics..when the reality is/was..i didint want to..and couldnt , even if wanted to....IF i felt the need to show off..blah blah..when in reality..i am as humble as they come.."there but for the grace of G-d go i"(is that how it goes??:) )..you can take all my CRAP away form me, and at the end of the day, i have my wife of 8 yrs. (together 14)..and my kids..and i still would consider my LUCKY..i have made it and lost it too many times to remember..and if i didnt have a sense of humor..i'd be 6 ft under...the heavy metal is awesome..but they are toys, albeit great toys..and most get by without ever having owned em..so..i guess its doable..perhaps too much persoanl info..but hopefully ya get a better idea of where i am coming from..
    and apology gladly accepted..that was an apology, right??!!

    haha! i will have to remember that quote!

    i just looked back at the original question, which was: which has better build quality and reliability. given my experience with the f430 (and CGT), i simply cannot fathom that the enzo can beat the CGT in either department.

    as to which might be a better car, does the sound make it better?

    It's truly funny how ignorant you are.

    I never stated in that post that I was looking to purchase those cars.

    It was just a comparison thread.

    God you're even better then Yoshi.

    It's also funny reading your other posts on this thread.

    You're so eager to make someone look bad. Then you get thrown back with the pictures of the CGT.

    As I look things over, I realize more and more you're really one of the low ones on FChat.

    I also will not stop claiming that I only "lied" once on FChat and that was with the 355.

    We really are looking for 360s.

    I never stated I was actually looking to purchase the 997 Turbo, was just comparing them, Joe the plumber, in fact a child could read that thread and be able to tell that I was not actually pretending to buy those cars.

    Also, on the other sites, we actually did buy a Walther, obviously not in my name, my fathers. I do own a few Movados, and am getting a Rolex Submariner as a graduation gift.

    I personally think it's sad that you care so much about my actions.

    It's really pretty funny. Your story reads: Kid goes on internet claiming a whole pack of lies, FChat owens him. Again... and again... and again....
