    I have to admit that being a pimp would probably be much more exciting than what I do, sorry to dissapoint, but I am not a pimp. I have owned Vipers and I will tell you that the GT2 is a better car in every way with the exception of the 0-60 blast with the Vipers top down.

    Amazing car Brian! Must be a joy to drive and see people's reactions. I wonder how many people actually know what kind of beast you are driving when you pass them? Very exotic and rare! Drive on!

    I love the CGT's, the one thing I think is odd is the location of the shifter... how do you like that? I have never drivin one but that looks like it could either be really wierd or much better than the traditional... your thoughts?

    The car is really different than anything else I have ever owned, here are a few of my first impressions: The CGT is really low and wide, getting into it with the tops on is a little difficult. It is like getting into a "cockpit" and you sit lower than I am accustomed to. The seats are GT style seats made of carbon fiber and very comfortable, it came with additional pads of different sizes to "make your own seat". The "shifter" location is one question I get asked the most, at first it seems a little odd, but in a very short time you realize that it's location is perfect, being located at the same level and so close to the steering wheel. I also have an GT2 and when I switch back the traditional location feels too far away. With the Traction control off, this car commands a great deal of respect, you can break loose if desired in almost any gear and at any speed. The engine and suspension are simply amazing, the most intoxicating thing about this car is the "sound", I can't get enough,
    and when I lay my head on my pillow before I go to sleep, the V10's song keeps on replaying over and over again. I still have not even turned on the stereo and I don't think I ever will.

    Thanks for the interest and I apologize for my lack of writing skills.

    Brian

    A true enthusiast. I love hearing about peoples impressions of their cars, especially when they come across as if the car is making them feel like their 6 years old all over again.

    I know thats how I feel whenever I've been around super cars. Enjoy the car and congrats again!

    Just have to chime in. That's one STUPENDOUS car.

    Brian the few CGTs I've seen actually looked quite small. Had one parked at my work in canary wharf, london a while ago and sitting in front of a merci and a 360 it just looked tiny. Certainly less higher but it just didn't look as wide or long as the dimensions suggest. Is it really that small and what sort of presence does it have sitting in your stable?

    Magnificent Brian, the V-10 symphony is so distinct.

    How does it feel to go back to other cars?



    Many thanks again,

    It only appears small because it sits soooo low. I park it in between my 360 and my GT2 and it sticks out about a foot longer.
