The GTS is cool,not sure of the cooled seats though as its alcantara. But it's definitely not as fast as the turbo. The turbo is quieter because the turbos muffle the sound of the v8. Here is my buddies turbo s with cutouts installed, basically open exhaust after the cats.
There's more videos of launch control on my yt page. I came from a R8 and my buddy came from a viper. We drive these turbos like race cars. Going to the track a few times once weather warms up

Great point, never thought about the screen being a distraction. I like to fill the road some what but I don't think I'm going to be blasting through the mountains anytime some. Maybe some spirited driving on the streets and maybe a track outing or two (few more if I spend the money to mod it). Knowing me, I will drive from NC to NY a few times so whatever I choose will not be a garage King.

Why do you say it will be impossible? That is one of the most coverage cars now on the drag strip.

Going to the track for me is driving a track rather than going down a straight for a quarter mile ...

Oh ok gotcha. They have pretty even weight distribution being that the battery is the whole bottom floor of the car. But from what I hear, it doesn't offer that race car feel to where you're hugging to road. I'm sure it would be kinda of boring because there is nothing to shift, just the quiet nothingness of whatever you hear while driving. Any members with both the Tesla and Panny willing to chime in?

When I take my 911 S to the track, it gets 7-8 mpg (regular driving about 17-18).
A Tesla battery lasts under perfect condition for 300miles, but the ludicrous start drains it apparently after 10 attempts.
I love the Tesla, great far, phenomenal concept, insane accellaration, but no track car ...

The main issue is the battery.

I'm sorry, I'm a newbie to the track! Was about to track my CTSV but there was a horrible accident earlier and I lost my nerve. I mainly do stoplight racing, you know, sit there and act like I'm not looking trying to see if you're going to go for it!

In your opinion, which has more room? Also, if you had the opportunity, which would you choose again and why?

If you are after more room then you should consider about Audi S8
personally me I still would choose Panamera (previously had S8 '09)

Looking back at all that was said, I think my mind is pretty much made up! I will be in the market to buy a 2010-12 Turbo (will look at GTS too!) around the summertime, maybe a birthday present to myself in June. So, if you guys are interested in offering up a good deal around that time, let me know. Hit me up in the inbox if you would like to talk about it offline, I will send you my email address, thanks gents!
