The hard top looks goofy. I'm digging the rag top though, and I don't normally like convertables

Looks like... the last 911. lol

Regardless of the looks, that is one incredible machine.

sometimes a perfect vehicle removes the driver from the experience. I would put this Porsche in that category.

Give me a 930 any day.

The old man already has one of these on order.
Still trying to get him to let me drive the 997 Turbo.

I guess because in the spirit of good performance, the Porsche PDK system can shift faster than any person can. It looks like double clutch transmissions are the "cool" thing nowadays.

funny thing is that this "new" and "improved" turbo is likely still slower than the much cheaper gt-r. i'd rather get the gt-r.
