Here's road and track's first drive in austria review ..
Interesting excerpt...54% front...really!
"Generally the front/rear torque split begins at 0 percent front/100 percent rear, which is natural for a 911 and optimizes fuel economy. Let the traction slip, so to speak, and that rear-mounted power can be delivered to the front wheels. In theory it could go to 100 percent front/0 percent rear, but in reality you see a max of about 54 percent front/ 46 percent rear. That’s where the snow and its slickness came into play as we slithered through icy mountains in Austria."

Thanks Brian!
It's a good things are getting a bit hectic with post-production because I really need to spend less time being pre-occupied with cars...
Today I almost gave in and bought a 2010 Ferrari 430 Spider.
But I came to senses just in time...

Am I really going to buy this Ferrari just before winter only to store 'till April because I don't want to wait till May for the C4S I ordered 9 months ago!
Sighhhhhh I came to my senses... and so the wait continues...
Hey don't knock it!
It's got 15K km on it and an extended Ferrari warranty.
Plus a buddy of mine has a full M16 Scuderia appearance package + rims for it (cost him 25K+) which he's giving it to me for less than 15K... AWESOME!
Finished it would look very much like this...
That said, even with the very attractive Scuderia refresh it is an older design which is starting to look dated next to the 458....
Whereas the 991 is as fresh as it gets...a clean canvas if you will, which will give me the joy of many, many custom project.
So the 991 C4S it is!

I know my Benz seems to have a mind of it's own... I keep ending up at dealers hehehehe My wife was saying she's going to try and get the car to "magically" take me to the Chanel or Hermes stores instead!
