Chad,
You should really start driving your car and enjoying it man! That makes me sick to think about how much money you have spent and you have not really enjoyed the car! The RED BEAST is always on the road and the clock is at 22,500 miles right now.
Get that bad boy out of the shop and start enjoying it! That's an order!

the ultimate plate...
VPA1- (abbreviation for veterans patrolman association)- only given to NY decorated police officers-I haven't gotten a ticket in 7 years and carte blanche to park ANYWHERE in NY. I'm waiting for my new plates-custom Police Surgeon's Benevolent Association plates-only given to surgeons who affiliated with nyc police-only 185 released in NY area for 2004.

KPV,
Short of two instances, I have never been bothered. Most of the time it is a respect. They want to see the car up close. The hand full that I have met that have real contenders quietly arrange to take it to a safe place off the public street. Of those I have lost twice in straight line acceleration. Neither were Porsche's.

Techmx,
Agreed. Supras, Vipers, Vettes and I would also add Camero's and Firebirds. I know of a couple muscle cars that have some serious ponies. But then again those cars are strickly set up for the 1/4 mile and have absolutely no handling.
I don't race on the highway anyways and save it for the track. That is where our Porsches shine. They may be fast but are not 1/4 cars in my opinion.

And as I have said before sure there are Supra's, Camaro's and even Honda's that may have more horsepower or be faster but at the end of the day they are still Honda's and Supra's.

Speaking of plates I am thinking of something new for the RED BEAST. Couple of choices:
60MPHN3 (O260IN3) IS TAKEN
STAGE5
QTRIN10
RDBEAST
REDBST
Any other suggestions?
