Surely your Carrera will out accelerate Accords? Maybe everyday cars are more powerful over in the America than they are here or something?

For the most part we are talking off the line...and Accord V6 is no slouch anywhere in the powerband and the new Camry's either. 3rd gear runs in my 911 are great and for the most part not much will hang but you are at uber illegal speeds by then - but then again our 911's are not geared for US type driving...I guess my point is that most people live by the mantra that Porsche is all conquering even the old ones, and that is not true. It is a unique car with a storied history that requires skill to drive and is a great, cheap track car...other than that I find it is lacking in too many areas to list...some are just in denial I guess.
