Damn.....I hadn't seen it in action, I had only read about it.....I have even read a comparative review with the new 599....
Of course it's fast, of course it's expensive, and of course it's the only supercar that can be a grocery-getter at the same time as a track-day car....
And all that for only 150KE or $ or UKP or whatever else....

The FD... it has been so long since I've driven, but I have a feeling stock for stock I and most others would prefer even the RX-8 over one. I'll take a 911 Turbo please, then I'll get an Ultima GTR or a Noble for my trackday car

If I could pick up a track day car, it wouldn't be a porsche, not because they're bad cars, but i wouldnt push it to the limit cuz of the price. A prodrive p2 however, while ugly, would be a ton of fun :b
I can attest. I've driven a few 911's 993 and 996 and there's just something about them. The mystique, exotic car feel, with a touch of practicality all for a price that you can live with when talking exotic type sports cars. I mean, you could hang with ferraris for a third of the price, and pick up your kids on the way home. But as Ike says, there's just something very special about 911's that make them great. It's something that speaks to the driver and is intangible...alot like RX-8 is for so many people...this car is an even heavier dose of the same drug.

You guys should be downloading the entire episodes of Fifth Gear and Top Gear. They are a dream come true for car enthusiasts. I never miss an episode, just use your favorite Bitorrent application and get the episodes at www.isohunt.com or www.mininova.org or www.finalgear.com
+1 for www.utorrent.com
Anyways, I just finished the part on the 997 during the episode and I was totally blown away. That car is heavenly, and that damn Plato is getting one. He already has a F430 for damn's sake!

thats my dream sport car, it has a good look here gotta love those two side intakes, everyday drivability, brute power but still give a very good mileage considering car of this type.
couldnt ask more if only i could afford it
