You took the words right out of my mouth. An M5 and a Vanquish S? BTW I was over at the Corvette site and a guy who had bought a new Z06 videotaped some quarter mile runs. He was running low 12's. Of course other forum members cited bad conditions, bad driving and all the rest. Low 12's? Low 12's doesn't sound very fast. What's the deal? Is it all hype?

We'll see. I was going to trade my Gt3 in on a 2003 Gt2, but they would only give me 85k for my 2005 with 3k miles. I just couldn't bring myself to eat 30k. Hell, I'll keep it. I was thinking rather than give it away, I'll spend the 25k and get the kit to increase it to a 3.9 litre, with 450 hp. 450 hp N/A in a Gt3? Maybe thats the way to go.

rockitman has a reputation beyond repute

Cayman S versus a GT3 ? LOL! That show has no respect for itself. It is entertaining though....
