Both the FGT and the CGT are great cars, but I would say the NFGT is more similar to the Porsche CGT in terms of handling, chassis set up and fit and finish.

FGT is more like a 911 Turbo, much more forgiving to drive at the limit and an awesome cruiser. Also, back in the days, FGT was a 150k car vs 440k for the CGT with its detuned Leman engine and full carbon chassis.

Amazing cars.

I drove one for maybe 20 minutes when I tagged along in Oct 2004 with Don Sherman for an Automobile Magazine article. I flew to Detroit, and we drove a Ford GT to the VIR area.

I actually ended up driving the CGT when they took the cover photo- the photographer said I was the most normal looking guy there LOL.

Yes... heritage was shot at sundown, the CGT was done at sunrise. His name is Matt Magnino. He's on IG. Professional automotive photographer. Does photoshoots for Toyota, Mecum auction cars etc. He did a bunch of IndyCar work also and is good friends with Seb Bourdais.
