Hey Duane, I still have the turbo, I couldn't get myself to sell. I should though. It's kinda been my window of hope. If you know what I mean.

Damn! I have really been out of the LOOP! It's been a struggle this year with my back, some good days. You guys just made my day! I see on this post that Jack is selling his GT2, do you still have the 3? Miss the torque of the GT2 in the canyons? Not.

jack and fred own the 3; third gt2 gone... dont really miss it as CS is more fun and how fast can you really go unless you're running to nevada which i quit..... notice the lesser torque, but also the handling gain!

Once watt experiences a GT2 with some minor suspension tweaks, he will once again be a believer in Porsche.
If not, I will just eat his little Stradale for breakfast on the way to work.

Yes, a Ferrari will always be the more visceral experience and it will be exciting too. This has always been the case. Even a normal 360 is more 'exciting' to drive than almost any 911.
But what dampens the experience is getting your *** handed to you by a Porsche.
Like I once said about the F50, it is an amazing experience with the best sounds and feeling... but at the end of the day, it's still a piece of ****. Hopefully CS will hold up better and be more reliable, but only time will tell.
We need to start a betting pool to determine what will be Watt's next car this Christmas!!!

i need some ideas on replacement cars for the CS; i can't think of anything any suggestions?
-- maybe i should just do some R&R [Rice & Rap] mod.s like Jack's CS and live with it
