2012 Porsche Carrera... hmmm...

I am not sure if it's been discussed in this thread or not, but the 2012 CS posted a 7 minute 40 second lap at the Nurburgring. That's pretty respectable.

I am lusting after one in red. With the options I want I get an MSRP of $115k. Not really sure I want to spend that on a car at the moment.

That '12 C2S at 7 min 40 sec lap is 13 seconds faster then the out going '11 997 C2S, about the same as the '11 GT3!

2012 Porsche 911 lops 13 seconds off predecessor's 'Ring time, quick as 997 GT3

How do you get past Porsche's most evil of evils? Their options page! I try to build and i have trouble keeping below 125k. seriously you could get lost on their options list.

The options themselves aren't that plentiful, but god damnit are they expensive.

I start off with the $78k base (or whatever it is) and think, "Ok, Steve, you can do this..."

A few clicks later and BAM I'm already over $100k.
