I think it's a good idea to post new exciting cars that would have comparable performance or better for the situational awareness of the member though many probably had already seen the information. I see it being done on other forums as well. It wouldn't be nice to get into a childish quarrel of which is faster of course.

Just my 2 cents..

Gee, I don't know. Why would anyone post something like that here? I guess I was operating under the mistaken impression that the people on this forum were enthusiasts in general, and that new vehicles which will be direct competition to a modded 996tt on the street would be of interest to them. Silly me.

Sorry to take up your valuable Porsche 996TT-specific internet surfing time.

Still a POS I would never buy. Look at those Wal-Mart seats.

A "slower" 997 GT2 is fine with me.
