You'll make some $$$ on that if you get it.

At that price, you can buy it and drive it for a year or two, then sell it and make a profit. Wonder what the story behind the price is? Is that Dick Fuld's car?

Motor sounds nice...but why someone would do 4k + rpm clutch drops to a 400k dollar + car and drag race it over and over is beyond me... but to each his own I guess. I just never did abuse my cars that way

Besides, the CGT has a multi-plate ceramic clutch, it's designed to take a beating and keep going. They last like 30k miles or something...

I'm not sure it's legit though; I kinda hope it's not or my wife is gonna FREAK....has to have been wrecked. I recently had some time in an SL63 and man I forgot how fun it is to have a convertable. The CGT has always been a favorite of mine that ranks up there with the best of'em. A friend of mine has one and an Enzo and I'd take the CGT any day of the week. Such a blast to drive and that V10 just revs like crazy. Fingers crossed...
