Nice ! Be careful though leaving the parking lot too fast, because I hear in a Q-mile drag race that car will probably edge the 968 by a nose...



Lol, I just looked this up, the latest version has : 1,300 hp, 1,004 ft/lbs torque , 275 mph top speed.. and weighs 2,800 lbs. Insane.

His Plate is 270MPH...



I was already there (a GT3 was next to me and left) when he backed in...I told him to be careful not to run his piece of crap into my rare Porsche...instant friendship <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.png" class="smilie" alt="" />

And as a new friend, you can offer him your fire extinguisher - chances are he'll need it ;-) . Assuming he has a 2014 GT3 that is...

My boss has one, I took it for a spin, love the exhaust note ( in sport mode ) both at idle and at <acronym title='wide open throttle'>WOT</acronym> , its fast enough but just wasn't the inspiring driving experience I had expected...certainly not at $ 150K. I still think the 968 has better road feedback and that one-with-the-car feel so many other newer vehicles are missing . IMHO

I didn't like the clunky downshift into second on hard cornering....the exhaust BELLA!
