i was on my way home from a game of squash and pulled up at a set of traffic lights that leads onto a 3 lane dual carriage way. in front of me way a Porsche C4S. i knew he was fast, but not exact figures. as the lights change he rolls off in 1st at a moderate pace. i keep 2 car lengths behind and shift into 2nd. the gear change drops my revs to 5500 rpm. at this point he guns it and i follow suit. the road is wet as it is still raining! my back end slides a little to either side as i hit 9k in 2nd and 3rd. by the end of 3rd he is about 6 to 8 car lengths in front of me. his car was so stable. it didnt even seem like he tried!
i want one!!!!

i did some research earlier and :-

3.8 v6
355bhp
4 wheel drive
273 lbs ft

 

Really nice cars.

Boxer 6.

For a long time I was against the AWD Porsches -- but oddly they really do drive like RWD cars with some additional grip in the wet.

I was able to get mine moving in a foot of snow with the stock P-zeros. Now turning and stopping were another matter.
