with all these supercars these days, I wonder if the mclaren F1 is still considered "worlds fastest car?" I mean we got the zonda, koenisegg, carrera, mucierlago, enzo, etc. Just like the last election, we need a recount!

with the porsche you get badge, and interior. Other than that, how is the car worth $440,000+?, when I can get a GT with like 50 less horse?

let me sum it up for you - sure you can drop a crate motor in a soapbox and it'll whip the crap out of a million-dollar supercar. it's not about that. but in this case, the CGT will beat the Ford GT, but I digress. CGT is rumoured to run high 10's @ ~130's out of the box - probably won't see this in mags, but they say its possible. Ford GT does ~11.9 @ 123-126, nothing spectacular in this day and age, at all...
ps I heard a Ford GT in person, at full-throttle - it sounded kinda like a milk truck on steroids..
ok but it was a prototype, supposedly the production versions are supposed to sound better. Hey I like the sound of Mustangs with straight-pipes..R3

familiarize yourself intimate with that thread.....if you can not understand why the carrera gt is worth 440k then there is no point in pursuing this discussion anymore.

yeah me either....... in fact I liked the GT40 a lot when I saw it, looks very exotic, it is fast, low, wide, all those things. But just not entirely comparable to the CGT or Enzo or whatnot... CGT is up there with McLaren F1, Enzo, etc..... To me the new GT40 is still in the same playing field as Viper and Vette... both of which its faster than, though.

Call me crazy and I'm sure I'll get flamed, but I'm not a huge fan of this exhaust sound. Yes, it sounds like an F1, but I like a slighly deeper rumble. I like the sound of Ferrari's better.. Slightly deeper but still scream
This is a hot car though

but I have to say I also am a fan of the muscle car rumble, there's a special feeling pulling up to the tree staging next to one of those old muscle cars that is so loud that it shakes YOUR car, and its just at idle... while you have aftermarket exhaust yourself but suddenly you find yourself wondering whether your car is even ON.... yeah.

This car does sound good, I just was saying I prefer the sound of a Ferrari v12 and the v8 in the F360 which is slightly deeper.

you paid more for your car than my accord, hell 10K more, but where is your:
dual zone climate control
.29 drag coefficient
drive by wire throttle
elctronic break force distribution
break assist
voice activated navi
revised gear ratios in 4th and 5th
tranny cooler integrated into the transmission stock
remote control and key all in one, ala BMW, which raises and lowers the windows from a distance.
MODERTATORS: I really really didn't want to go into this stupid age old arguement, but this guy asked for it! No offence to all you CLS guys on this forum!
