It's just how I feel, and I fully admit I've never driven a porsche.

A fellow member on 6speedonline got this with stock tires:

Do you really need more G's than that?

I agree with you, it does depend on preference. The preference being if you prefer lateral vs longitudinal G force, luxury vs performance, and so on.

But its next to impossible to tell a 911 owner they overpaid for their car. Its almost like a cult car (or at least it was).

Oh and longitudinal G force with launch control is 1G for future reference, not sure how much it is on a viper (I'm sure Viper can do even more)

1G sounds little bit much under accel?

I love the Lotus exige (a lottt), and have a lot of respect to those who drive them. I would love to have one, but I can't afford both a luxury sports car and a track day car. If I did, you better believe I would be daily driving it until my back starts hurting. I think better than the lotus would be an Ariel atom. If I tracked a lot, I would've gotten an Ariel Atom and a ford focus for the price of a 911.

Okay to be exact it's 0.99G. Anyone have the value for a GTR launch?
