jeebus, obviously everybody posting so far likes it…because it’s sickeningly fast right outta the box…but what impresses me the most is that not only is it that fast…but it’s heavy…almost 3500 lbs! not that’s it’s a good thing to be heavy…not at all…but just the fact that it can be that heavy, and still so fast…makes it even more impressive when you look at the numbers ---

Car is so hot! I’m always impressed with how Porsche leads the market with the introduction of new technology. Here its the variable vane turbo in a gasoline application. In a couple of years it will be the introduction of a DSG-style transmission in a supercar with tons of torque and horsepower. On a side note I think it was on here that I had a debate with a douchebag about Porsche’s involvment with the DSG idea. It mentions that in the beginning of this article. ---
