Yep. The torque is what really shined through, though, as I stopped his pull and begin to pull him back.

 

thanks Dock you demonstrated the quote of Ruiners I was refering too, thank you.
Hot Rod Guy, sorry if I included those in this forum that dont agree with Ruiners feelings about why we own this car. I stand corrected. I guess I should have said "I hope that is how most of us feel about our cars" shouldnt (and didnt want too) include those that ACTUALLY dont feel that way!?

 

Torque? Yes indeed.

 

I have thought of the Elise, but thought it might be too focused. Even though I call the car I am searching a "track car" it will primarily be used on the street. I hope to attend at least one driving event a month, whether it is an autoX or HPDE. The reset of the time it will be an in town runabout, so it has to be somewhat streetable.

How much are use Elises going for anyways?

Thanks.

 

The Evo is my first choice. I am just trying to find the best deal I can on a clean example.

Marty, its the funnest $35K I spent in my life.. honestly... this thing is a Rocket.... Alexander has one as well.. but his actually is even beyond mine...
I opted with a gt35r turbo.. its the best compromise between track and street.. I raced a marenello 550 once and boy was he surprised....

 

Z06 playing with an E55. The E55 is no slouch.

Too funny we both saw that vid, must of been browing the Z06 forum at the same time, haha

 

what kind of video was that? not once did it give us some sort of object of reference.. either both were moving at different times, or one stays put.. or is behind, etc.. it could've been Z06 vs Elantra..

 

The following is merely an observation, devoid of malice, and not intended to disparage anyone. The Porsche community appears to be giving a considerable amount of attention to the C6 ZO6, citing the ZO6 as a benchmark for comparison, and opining as to how certain Porsches would fair against the ZO6. More so than other new cars. Nothing wrong with such discussions, and I am among the those who are genuinely impressed with the C6 ZO6. Nevertheless, I question whether there are subconscious motives/reasons underlying the considerable attention paid to the C6 ZO6 by this community. I am not qualified to answer this question and I will not speculate as to what is going on below the surface, but the heightened attention is palpable.

i think every car community is talking about the Z06.. it's that much of an impact car.

this thread that people keep replying to doesn't help :P

 

Yea i definitely agree... Mark your Evo is nuts, i would love to experience an Evo like yours one day, hell even your turbo when its done

 

Martin, If you only knew..... that was the whole reason why I decided to look at my tt again.....
