Haha, it's a bloody P-car! You shouldn't even have it in traffic! Get a manny. Hell, if you get a 4S you'll have saved enough money from passing on the Turbo to buy yourself a TT with a DSG. :P

So I went to the Porsche dealership and I do not like the interior at all. I'm a big guy and it felt like I was in a go cart. My knees were touching the steering wheel no matter how much I pushed the seat back. It would have been impossible for me to push the clutch. I expected alot more from Porsche but I guess it's more of a race car than an all around car. The Panamera and Cayenne had enough room but I think they're too big. The others are basically impossible for me to drive. wtf?

i sat in a 2004 limited edition 911 turbo, a new 911 carrera, new boxter, new cayman, new panamera and new cayenne (or cheyenne?).

oh well. this helps to narrow my decision for a weekend warrior car. back when i was into american muscle the GM camp had me beat every race. i was a mustang man. i might just consider the corvettes but i would prefer an all wheel drive. the quattro + ESP doesn't let me fishtail around a 90 degree turn at wide open throttle. i like that. the V8 R8 is in my sights. i thought about the M3 but my wife doesn't like BMW for some reason. maybe an AMG benz too.

You just made me think of a 10th season episode of Top Gear where they track tested those 3 cars. Audi, M3 and Benz. They said you'd be lucky just to arrive alive in the Benz.

Ya know, I'm just not a fan of BMW's, everywhere I look I see someone driving them.

Corvette's are great, but if you drive one for the purpose of not racing it everywhere, get ready for a sore rear end.

If you get a chance go test drive an R8 make sure you do it with the windows down, I think you'll fall in love with the exhaust note.

Now if I could afford one, I'd be driving one. But I have three major purchases lined up over the next year so no expensive sport cars for me.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think of the Terminator movies when they look at an R8 head on?
