Thanks for posting DJ. Looking forward to the video. How can someone not like this car.
"It’s faster, more useable and far cheaper than a 599 GTO."
"Veyron aside, it’s the fastest road car I’ve driven – but it’s completely useable and it still involves you in the process. Want."

I think it sounds perfect. Yeah it isn't as loud at the GTO (then again what is), but the turbos spooling gets my heart going. I've always been a fan of the turbos especially after driving a 996 TT.

but chris should be biased because of his love for porsches and factory racing efforts. but still im sure its great and i thank porsche for not making my 996GT2 too out of date.
The new one bascially looks like my old one and although it has almost 150 hp more and almost anything handles better than mine, it wont make me sell the old to buy the latest. this is extradinary because any new ferrari makes the old one feel 200 years old, not good when u just pay the same top dollar just a year ago.
i think thats why i still have the two 911s that i ever bought, one is almost 10 years old and the other 22 yo!!!
I almost never had a ferrari over a year due to the latest and greatest rule that seems to be happening with fcars.
however, the specs makes me want the new one, but luckily they dont make enough so for a person who hasnt been to a porsche showroom in quite sometime will never be able to get one even with bags of cash over the shoulder
and seeing the new 2 makes me relate to my old one even more, it looks the same, still as scary to drive, faster than im willing to push it.....
ok.... im going to light up the flat six now....

You are right on the money . . .
Harris is hands down the most important guy in automotive media today! His reviews blow away anything TG does just for the sheer reality of the commentary and footage.
JC is an entertainer in comparison, all be it - just as important, just not as relevant.
