Ah man, it intoxicates me with what you just mentioned, because I whole heartedly agree!!!! Porsche GT car's, nothing like em'

 

I find it interesting that everyone I speak with is intimidated by the CGT. A lot of it exotics have become too "soft"......its the only way I know to describe them. No matter the cost, compromises were made in one way or another......especially in "driving" dynamics. All this in order to satisfy and make the car more drivable for the common man. Well with the CGT.......there are NO compromises. What you get is basically a race car fitted to make it drivable for the streets. Common man be damned!

 

I disengage clutch completely and provide gas once fully disengaged. Now is mastering the amount of gas given right at the disengagement spot for speedy take offs. Thrills!!. What a car!!

 

Amen!

One really appreciates the TC while powering out of corners at the track. It's never intrusive enough to take away the fun, but it is a great comfort to not get sideways if there is a small bump or hump at the exit of a throttle-on sweeper. I see the traction light blink a little and feel the rear end move out only a little when I've otherwise added too much throttle on an off-camber exit. It's just magic in its calibration, if you ask me.

 

were you blasting up Trafalgar north of dundas yesterday?

if so, I think I caught your pretty face. I was the one in the silver (stock) Golf. Im sure you did a prompt 180 to catch a glimpse of my fine ride again.

cheers

 

Not me. Had it out for about 20 mins for the first time on Saturday.

 

Traction Control???.........What traction control???
If there is one its perhaps the most non-intrusive TC I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I can get the damn thing sideways at 25mph with it "ON". Scarey stuff indeed!

 

I don't think my car has TC or it doesn't work because I almost lost it in second gear just by flooring the pedal with the TC on (cold tires). Scard me to death.

Porsche should have made the TC more intrusive, that way if you have it on you know you cannot spin out and if you want to play around you can push the button and take it off. It almost gives you a false sense of security. My only Gripe about the car, The rest is: THERE IS NO OTHER CAR LIKE IT.

 

I use the clutch the same way as driving any of my other Porsches. The CGT just requires a bit more finesse because the engine is so responsive and the clutch is a grabbier multi-disc design, though no where near as difficult as a racing setup.

The traction control on the CGT is the way it should be on most cars. You only know it is there when a situation is serious enough to call for it. Traction control systems that brake heavily or noticeably cut power are meant for a regular car with an average driver in an average situation. On a car like the CGT, a system like that would likely cause an accident rather than prevent one.

 

Flashing TC light = loads of fun
