Substitute for Porsche?
depends on your definition of "smokes". I've seen Toyota supras that have 1500hp that would "smoke" a 911 off the line. cars a total piece of crap though. the 911 would "smoke" the supra and vette around the track. etc etc

Mostly speaking of power to weight, but that is not the only thing that matters of course.

If it wasn't for the reputation you sent me, I would have forgotten this. So lets see, as an automotive journalist, after hot lapping the C7 and reviewing a Cayman S PDK, my pick is the Cayman.
The C7 may bruise the shin easily with the dashboard design protruding into the doorway. The redundant, non-intuitive rev-match downshift buttons behind the steering whee, the Chevy parts-bin radio interface and tire scrubbing when u-turning all reminded me its a GM, as nice as it was.
The Cayman, despite the horsepower deficit, is definitely my pick and probably the best sportscar under $100k. Refinement, technology, packaging, efficiency, etc.
But hey, I'm not a real journalist so what do I know?

at least this time, u actually drove the cars before stating your opinion (like a real journalists) instead of making vague statements about a car that wasn't even available at the time.
so where can I read your published articles ? I am really interested.
(just don't tell me its a blog..)

If you pay attention to my signature, you can figure out where my articles are.

yeah, I saw ur signature b4.
but the link on the bottom doesn't work.. and there is no 'Deuuuce' on facebook.. and the FB link under ur rep points leads to 'sorry, that page isn't available'..
why so elusive about your articles ?
let's not dilute this thread any longer with our off-topic convo. Just show us where to find and read your articles, and we can verify your credibility. I am also curious to see your writing style and who knows.. I may even learn a thing or two.

My style is more direct and some say "conversational." I've found it to be a fantastic hobby with excellent benefits.
