porsche = teh sex

 

Those 10 questions should answer everything. Haters stay out. Your car is inferior (minus z06 and supercars lol)

 

Eww.. Whats up w/ that tranny?

 

i'll take mine in black, thanks.

 

Steve C's turbo replacement is on order. Still slower than the Z06 though.

 

I really dislike the design of the front bumper, with the foglight mounts extending not quite all the way across the intakes, and the horizontal slats in the intercooler intakes remind me of something from the more boy-racerish Gemballa, or Ruf. Should have waited for the GT2 model to add those. I do dig the wheel design, though, and in black or dark silver/blue I think it would look considerably better.

Otherwise, as far as specs, I love it. Shouldn't be offered in Tiptronic though, I think it waters down the whole idea of it being a seriously sporting car. I think it makes good business sense for Porsche to offer the tiptronic gearbox (living in La Jolla, CA, I see firsthand exactly how many trophy wives are tooling around in the auto turbo cabriolet of the 996 variety.) But, I philosophically disagree with it. I mean, the Ferrari F430 is not offered with a traditional slushbox, and if it were, i think the Ferrari faithful would throw a well-deserved fit.

130K too? wow, that price just keeps going up and up, doesn't it.

how does the veriable geometry turbo work? and whats this "special over boost mode"????

 

I would take out a second mortage on the house and buy an F430.

 

I don't know Steve. With the variable vane turbos (spread the tq. curve wider) & overboost mode you might have a hella good race with the Z06 at least 0-100 or 1/4 mile. Can't wait for the comparison test.
