How does your F40 compare to your CGT?

I'm torn between being amazed after having seen that video and saddened by the fact that I will probably never get to drive an F40 . . .

Both are equally thrilling. The CGT is way more advanced technology, but a total beast, one must be careful approaching the limits. The F40 has the same thrills, but is much more raw. No power anything (brakes, steering, etc.), no airbags, no comfort stuff other than a/c. But it has one thing the CGT will never have - the provenance of having been the last car commissioned and launched while Enzo was still alive, so it carries his race-driven ethos all the way. If I could only keep one of the two cars, it would be the F40.
