A silver Carrera GT had a nice wee cameo in Fracture, a 2007 movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling

The sound of the SLR, The Sound!!!

For bang for bucks, you cannot go past the SLR.

The GT however is still a fantastic car. 10 seconds faster around the Nurburgring and 4.3 seconds faster around Hockenhein short, if it is more track than long straights you are after then the GT is the way to go. But that SLR Sound.

You can actually compare the cars here http://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel3277-1158.htm you can duel them against each other. Actually you can duel any two or more cars against each other. Very handy site.

I'd love a GT but I'd just never get it. As soon as I got the 150k the SLR would be in the garage!

Sorry, this wouldn't get it over the LFA for me.

I like the look of them, but I fail to see the added appeal over the SLR tbh.

I can honestly say I would take the CGT over an SLR & LFA together. The only LFA I have seen was in the Geneva Motor Show and it interested me about the same as a GTR or 997t.

I do like the SLR mind, just nowhere near as much as the CGT.

LFA and CGT fantastically well made cars and sound fantastic, both probably better than a lot of other cars that get the nod.

However I still think this is the best ever Porsche road car.




The wing mirrors for a start are just so sexy and the 996 headlights never did it any harm.

Unfortunately, it looks like a 996 that has been driven at speed through Halfords before being left with Gemballa.

Ok so which one of you bought the CGT that came into the OPC network a few days ago??

[Jasandjules]

As above, that is a Euromillions car - second on my list and that's only because the Ferrari dealership is less than 10 miles away to get me an F430 Spider to tide me over....

Probably one of the best sounding Porsche of all time. There is something about a high revving race engine designed V10. When you go back in history and listen to F1 engines screaming on track, the best sounding in my opinion were always the 3.5L V10's. They sounded even better than the 3.5L Ferrari V12's they raced against.
