When they had it on the track I kept finding myself wishing it was a Ferrari V8.

I don't know what's more jacked up... those sunglasses on his face or his seating position in the car. Is the dude like 4ft tall or something, cause he's literally on top of the steering wheel.
I had to go look for some normal CGT videos to assure myself that it's not how the car is setup, cause Jeremy & The Stig look totally normal (i.e. not cramped with the shifter at their elbow) in the car.

I know Jeremy's pretty tall, but I don't know about the guy in the second video.

personally I prefer the sound of a CGT with some type of mufflers, or a 997 GT3.

Fucker.
Seriously though, liking one thing precludes someone from having an opinion on something else? The Grand Prix is far from being a pinnacle of automotive engineering like the CGT is, the build quality, materials, craftsmanship, and a thousand other things that are on a far different & higher plateau than a pedestrian "sporty" coupe made by GM in the late 80's and early 90's. Of course I'd never compare the two. I was speaking in terms of it's relation to other super/hyper cars.
But, yeah, you're right. I'm totally, utterly and 110% wrong, the CGT is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, and if I could afford one, I'd whisper into it's exhaust "I can't quit you" each night before I went to bed, and re-assure it that those awful w-bodies were in the past, that they meant nothing to me, and that it was the only one for me.
