Carrera GT DRIVEN like its supposed to be!

The guys got balls! Sliding that car around some of those bends takes nerves. I've seen much smoother slides but it's still very impressive.

The sound of that engine is so great!

I think it actually requires a bit of skill to get a CGT to step out. The car was designed to go around corners in the fastest way possible; not the 'tail happy' most fun method. Considering its a $440k car, being driven on the street (close to some ominous stone fences) I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. The car seems to want to catch itself instead of allowing the completion of rotation and feathering in the exit.

For a real example of a Porsche being driven fluidly, check out Fazination. Another perfectly calm driver in loafers and a golf shirt ripping off a perfect Nordschlief lap at speeds upwards of 175MPH.

Only an F1 or LMP sounds better. No street car come close to the aural symphony a CGT produces at WOT.
