@gmaccormack I knew you knew what they were, but those videos just had to be posted. And, if I knew a lot about driving, I wouldn't be asking questions, now would I?
I learned everything about driving from you guys.

with just a small touch to the throttle while heal towing you get 8k rpms. It's the same pressure required to get 1k rpms in a normal car. Even my gt3rs takes 4 times as much pressure.
Until you've driven a car with a light flywheel you won't get it. My RS America has a super lightweight as well for the years I raced it. Then my cups were the ultimate lightweight. The cgt could even spin more freely.
Clutch in or Clutch out the car will rev to 8k rpms with absolutely no effort. This is why my cgt is the car I will most likely be scared of my entire life. The day you don't respect the cgt's power is the day you need to sell it.
There are most likely only 25 drivers in the world with the skillset to drive one. I ain't one of them. The first couple of drives I went on I left another cgt and 2 scuds so fast thru the twisties is was like they weren't behind me and that was running at 50% maybe. The cars are bullits and just a pleasure to drive fast as long as you RESPECT and OBEY the laws of physics. It's a Daytona Prototype with blinkers.

And, I was in one of the Scuds when Mark drove the CGT. He pulled so fast that I thought I wasn't moving and had to check the speedo. That thing on the move sure MOVES!

Hey no one realizes how hard most supercars are to drive until they actually drive them as I'm sure you know. I remember the first time I climbed in a CGT. The idea of having such an awesome car and using it as a daily is awesome in theory but in practice it's hard to do.
