That CGT is one badas$..

Perhaps most agile sports car there is..?

Interesting, very interesting. Would have expected more from the SL65. In particular, at the upper end of the tested speed range...

The CGT is as fast as expected. A very, very nice sports car. If only it came with PSM. Without PSM it is merely a fun car for track events and not quite a daily driver

PSM = stability control? I belive it had some sort of traction control when I drove it

Maybe you underestimated the M6

Great vid Russ!

Just a little to keep our appetites wet until Gustav comes through (tomorrow?).

In case of the CGT the only traction control is the driver

Driving the CGT fast requires big balls... Euro 450k, RWD, 612hp and no electronic support for the driver

So Chiromikey.....what is the excuse for the AMG losing to BMW? Why is it that everytime a MB loses to BMW, something is wrong?

I think its the airfield. Remember the E55 K4???

The airfield plays games with forced induction engines. Even the Supra was mulfunctioning.

It did indeed...it was an AMG

Seriously - why make a statement like that without anything to back it up? As far as I recall the only cars with issues were the Supra (intermittent ignition?) and the Ruf RT12 (damaged right rear tire).
