I remember the heat that Porsche took in the U.S. for selling the original 930, because it was so dangerously fast. This thing makes a 930 look like a garbage truck, performance-wise. I guess that the legal climate has changed, you'd think that it went the other way.

Intresting that they kept the displacement at 3.6
and wonder if I can fit one of these to a regular 3.6??

I don't like the nose - the one on the gt3 is MUCH nicer. Still one bad car.

How am I ever going to afford one of those? At least it will give me something to shoot for as the next upgrade after I get to upgrade the current 996 for a Turbo.

That video was like the intro to a new made for TV movie like "Knight Rider Reincarnated" or something...

I don't like the 997 Turbo/GT2 nose treatment either... especially if you see one parked side-by-side with a Carrera or a GT3.
I dunno. Despite the ridiculous HP on the GT2, I'd rather have a GT3RS

Yup, as R&T said about the Ferrari Daytona in 1969: "This car will show its tail lights to anything you can bolt a license plate to in the world..."
Plus quite a few airplanes.

ooooo - that green is nice.
I don't like the tail - because of that alone I will never ever buy one.

I think that is the most amazing Porsche I've ever seen. Give it up people, stop being so critical. Of course we love our SC's and such but c'mon, give credit where its is due. Bow Down!
