CGTs are one of the most difficult supercars to drive. They're so unforgiving to these rich talentless drivers. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson "It bites your head off!". I still haven't seen any of the 3 CGTs in the Vancouver area

Man, that sucks. It's almost like we see more pics of these cars wrecked than not! You'd think with the stigma that's rapidly attaching itself to these cars, people would be more careful when driving them. Apparently not.

This past Thursday I was at Willow Springs at a track event with All Time Racing and a CGT went off track and had a big crack in the rim. Had to be towed off because all the air escaped from the tire. Thank God the guy bought Tire insurance when buying the car because those Magnesium wheels must cost a fortune.

There comes a point however when you stop blaming the drivers and start blaming the engineers who created it.

It's beginning to look more and more like that is the case. They're trying to sell to a market. The first goal is to produce a safe product in the market. Porsche appears to have failed. I would think Porsches liabilty lawyers are starting to sweat.

The people who can afford a cgt have lots of those.

Nonsense. If those drivers had been obeying the posted speed limits they would have been fine.

You mean like the Ford Explorer? The Chevy Corvair? Or the Pinto?

No I think there's still a liability window. The percentage of crashes compared to the amount of cars made is very very high.

We'll see
