I've seen a fake CGT (silver) a couple of years back in San Jose, it was small.

The real thing is substantially larger, I've seen it at service department of local Porsche dealer, sounded great.

I gotta admit it sure looks like a Gemballa. But IS-SV has a point about the body size.

Silver one right? I've seen it a few times parked right next to a Lotus Elise. and fake CGT is pretty much the same size as Lotus.

<------searching for a pic of said fake CGT on cellphone memory card...



EDIT: Looks like the orange CGT is based on Boxster based on this A+ for effort. and i DO like the wheels...20x12.5 HRE rears..mmm

if you didn't breathe so hard from the excitement and fogged up the lens, we could see this beauty much better

that roof top/scoop looks weird and tumorous???

pretty clean build for a kit car... but in the end, its still just a kit car....

the vivid racing website said they used, "...2inch spacer in the front and 4inch spacer in the rear. The front wheels are a 19×8.5 and the rear are a 20×12.5. "

I didn't even know they make spacers that big... hehehe!
