Another funny one, thanks Alereck.
I used to go to Supercar Sunday with my Testarossa (6 figures) and it wasn't even noticed due to all the other exotics that are always present there.
I think you will find that it's only the stuck-up, filthy, money worshiping trash that will feel that a Porsche dosn't rate.
If anything does get noticed, it is usually something unique.
The truth is, the Porsche in general is a superior car to all others. We are talking about a 911 of course. No other car has the endurance. No other car has such superior engineering. No other car will do what a Porsche can do. Anyone who believes otherwise is just plain ignorant. I am not exagerating or incorrect my friends.
I have worked on cars for almost 40 years and I base my opinion on all my mechanical experience. I love all cars but for the Porsche, there is no substitute!
Why do you think I chose Porsche to build my Mulholland racer? I could have picked any car.
After racing and beating everyone in the Ferrari Club (with their new 360's, new 550's, etc.) with my old Testarossa I learned this:
At speeds below 100mph the Carrera would stomp the crapp out of the Testarossa.
On Canyon roads, the Carrera would pitifully destroy and embarass the Testarossa.
Under all braking conditions, the Carrera stops like no car that I have ever driven, the Testarossa scares me to death with it's inferior brakes. Bad!
Don't misunderstand, the Testarossa is a beautiful 12 cylinder car that is extremely fast and handles well at high speeds. (It actually feels superior above 120mph)
It's just that after owning a Ferrari for 8 years it seemed quite obvious that it can't compare with most aspects of the Porsche.
PORSCHE! PORSCHE! PORSCHE! ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST ROLLING METAL!
