Dear RufMD

We are all still waiting for your "street report" regarding your experience in evaluating driving differences between the F50 and the CGT

It is amazing how similar the driving dynamics and little nuances are. The similar engine rattle right behind the ear, the dramatic variation in engine note as the revs climb. The clutch is much better in the F50 as far as ease of use, and they both have a similar redline.

The F50 sits lower than the CGT...and I am still genuinely confused as to where the styling criticism originates from...although I think it is better in person than in pictures.

I am awaiting the arrival of a friend to drive the cars together and shoot some pictures, along with a full note and article for review....hopefully sometime in the next week or so !
