Bravo.
So true. This thing has so much more swagger than a Ferrari or Lambo down here in So Cal. It just feels so one off and bespoke.

Sorry guys it's doesn't defy rotational mass when you lift ever so slightly in the twisties and if you have ever driven a 911 hard you know what I mean, if you don't you've never driven a 911 hard....sorry just the fact jack.

You don't buy character you build it yourself..

But for those that don't know better rock on... sorry to burst the bubble.


how did all of this come up? This car is a cool peice of rolling art that combines the looks of an early 911 (which look great!) with the comforts of a new 911. Never does it say that this is the fastest car in the world and that it will dominate all old and new - stock and modified - Porsches in the world. Its just a cool car.

Why dont you and your "go pro" go make a video of you and your car "tearing up" the Canyons and quit adding negative energy to this thread.

Geesh.

Don't waste your energy on him bro, if I remember correctly he is the one who thought he knew better than the Aston Martin engineers. He really doesn't get it.

It's almost like saying, if you're going to own a 911, make sure you always own the latest one. If it isn't current generation, it's irrelevant.

While the 997 may be a better performing and usable car in pretty much every aspect, it will never compare to a Classic 911.

A lot of people would probably say spending that kind of money modifying a Toyota for canyon runs is silly, too...
