I really like the low to mid end power. High end sucks.
I also don't like the transmission in these cars.

Can't give just one love (looks/power/handling/history...), but agree with Steve...the gearing s*ks.

IMO the weight is an issue if you track the car and chase times - or cupcars. The day in day out pleasure the car gives and the people I have met with a similar addiction are positives.

Zero, Nada, Nuffing, she is just about perfect now, mind you I am working on getting some more power while she is at EVOMS....saying hello to some GT3071R's haha

Oh and to those complaining about the gearing, btw that was me when I first got my car, just get your wallets out and change the gearing

having spent most of the day in mine, or around it at a car show, I can say that NOTHING is wrong with my specific car... Other than the LOUD exhaust, and my exhaust isn't "loud" like most.

My car accelerates wonderfully, and I have no complaints with the gearing. I do have complaints with the B&M shifter the previous owner put in mine, and I would like to have the GT2 Clutch Hydraulics, and a tranny cooler, but otherwise, My car is such a beast that it doesn't require much of anything else...

I'm driving a Porsche Twin Turbo. What else can I say? Love the car.
No it's not a GT 3. If I had wanted one I would have bought one.

Everything is perfect so far but I have to admit I realized this long time dream only seven months ago. So this car is new to me. But when I press the garage door opener and while the door slowly and quietly lets appear the most beautiful rear end you can imagine I simply..... Sorry my english is not good enough to continue to explain my feeling but you know what I mean....

Love the ability to modify into the stratospheres
Hate how much it costs to modify into the stratospheres!

PS: Hate how dated the interior is starting to look compared to the 997TT.

The stupid 2nd gear popout that has come back after supposedly being fixed by a reputable shop less than 2 years ago and less than 10k miles ago.... lame.

Otherwise, it is a great reliable car that I really enjoy as my daily driver.
