Any one else wonder why Porsche would feel the need to test a 500 hp, rear wheel drive car in the snow?

Which cars are in it's league? For 200k, I think the 997gt2 is the top dawg in it's price range.

I like the vertical louvers on the lower rear bumper. Nice duct-tape job over the badges.

I called my dealer sales manager tonight....I'm first allocation at my dealer and will swing by in the morning to give them a deposit. I think the final version of this car will be a beast. I can't imagine that the F430 CS version will have more hp than the GT2....so I suspect hp will be closer to 550+

Jas,
This one will be worth waiting for.
A friend of ours is #3 on the list in Orlando 3 days ago. People need to get on these lists now!!!! Did they give you an idea on how many they are importing or how many each dealer is getting? Delivery time frames?
