ppl like you are the reason ferrari/lambo have stopped offering manual cars. it requires interaction, embrace it. might be one of the last supercars to be configured this way, a proper drivers car.

stop crying

I find the CGT easy as hell to drive. If anything its annoying around town as everything and everyone is so slow and you can easily go so fast. Throw in stop and go traffic and as you said the horribly placed mirrors and its deffently not the car you drive to the coffee shop like a tool like ferrari owners do for attention, its actually ment to be driven on the fun roads Lil tip for the mirrors that are right at face level, peak above or below before EVER turning into an intersection. Great placement for racing, horrible for the street.

CGT is for real men, ferraris are for pansises that cant drive unless it has paddles and crave comfort, cup holders and attention.

So it's the case of the Emperor's new clothing eh? Everyone is keeping the POS secret? I've only been a passenger myself once so I can't comment much but from where I was sitting, this car is also my dream

Thanks for the write up. It was funny

Hey John, I think we both had pretty similar first impressions of driving the CGT. It's certainly not an easy car to drive around town but get some space to yourself and it's a dream.

I think what makes the car so special is that it is just that little bit more challenging to drive than most cars. It keeps it interesting and the more you drive it, the longer you'll want to stick with, learning to nail the shift points and handle the car at speed.

I only had the chance to drive one once, and I doubt I'll ever get a chance to do it again, so please enjoy this car for both of us!

in contrast, my 2 is much easier to shift, its the position that takes getting used to and the floor mounted pedals, look hot but needs time.

ur right on everything u said, i might even be a woman posing as a man.
but the huge mirrors are truly dangerous.

im gonna start treating the GT as a workout station from now on, didnt know i was posing and cant drive till i got this. haha.

If it turns out you don't get used to it, you can strip the chassis of the beautiful body parts so you can look at them, and then send the chassis out to me . I'll pay shipping and all.

Great review.
