Seem to recall you've owned an F40 in the past (or possibly one of your erm, colleagues), what are modern hypercars like the CGT like compared to the F40?
yeah it was me and i wish i still had it . great car , one of the most exciting to drive . i generally dont like turbo power and the f40 delivers all of it in one go so you have to respect it .i sold it to a friend and a month later he wrote it off . f40 is raw , brakes dont match the cgt of course , the build on the cgt is amazing different level , like the f1.
the f40 was in a way last of that breed , i like those type of cars u can smell the petrol and oil. the 73 carrera rs rep i have is a great car , raw and basic
Heh, I remember following an F40 up the A1 towards Peterborough and the smell of it was pure motoring. Just glad it didn't ignite as I was covered in a thin film of it smile

I always try to read CGT threads as I think they're one of the more pure supercars of the last few years.

Good to read about the clutch and good to have you back. I saw you a few months back at work. More pics of your cars if possible please!

Cheers, Greg.

Fair enough!

I cant remember if you had a Ford GT at one point? I think I'd have to give one of them a go if I was in your shoes. A bit old school and I'd assume nothing like the Carrera GT, but still..

it woud have to be an original gt40 rather than their retro remake . not really a fan of the new american sports cars , love the old ones though

Only just found this thread; H I don't need a new clutch (yet) but if I do I'm interested in the system you have in yours which you seem to imply is more progressive (or maybe I'm reading too much into it). Can you post or pm me details please? Thanks!

Yes mate , i got the work done at gemballa germany ,, usually known for their bizarre bodykits but the clutch is a must for any gt owner , also had lifting system and race pipes fitted aswell .. Mr Gemballa was unfortunatly found dead , shame nice guy . but the company has been bought and they r back in business . they came to pick it up and delivered it , but you would probably prefer tearing down the autobahn option ,
