So Awesome the Sleeper king. You should have added two more zeros to that number.
Thanks for sharing. The links give some really nice blowups.

Time to set my desktop :)

It was a 80+ day and I had the AC on full. Best part was definitely the beginning where you come out of the apex onto the straight away.

Nice racing man! I'm glad I get to see a 7speed take the same track, because that first sharp turn (@ :56) was making me wish I had a couple more gears!

I just left mine in DS mode the whole time :D. It does a pretty decent job downshifting and making sure you're in the power band coming out of those turns. Paddle shifters could be fun though.

I'm going down to Vegas Speedway there next week to have some fun in the FX's big brother on their road course. Might be the beginning of a big problem...
 
And my brakes are shaking a bit. Thought it might be debris but doesn't seem to wear off. They work fine though. I'm gonna tell him to stick to momentum road anyway. She's a big girl and underpowered
 
Must get me a new pony. Porsche vibe in my group. Gotta fit in. Looking at a couple options right now. 1st Gen 987 or 997.1. Can't decide. Love both

Searching for something in 06-08 range, and only in an S trim.
Affordable fun
 
Haha. Spotted!
Though it's not gonna be for a little while. Scheduled for a shoot next month cuz I had some technical issues that day.
 
I don't think I need turbo power, or do I?
I want a balanced canyon/track machine. I drove a cayman last month and fell in love with the balance and Suspension . 911 is gonna have the power edge. I kinda want both, but will need to choose 1. 996 is cool too, but only with all the aero in turbo form. Not a huge fan of that body
 
If you can swing it, go Carrera.
And if you can, go Turbo.
I honestly don't see how you could possibly regret it. The go kart style "zing" is unbelievable.
Cayman's have their following, but I personally can't get into them.

It had been a few weeks, but I ended up taking my Cayenne out today for a fun filled run on OC's PCH. Common for both Cayennes and Carreras, the swanky side of town had it all and the Turbo models stood out. It's not just the look, but the feel of the dance on the road. ..Acceleration paired with agility. I'm not going to claim that I like my Porsche better than my Infiniti, but the feel of the excitement is similar. I thought about you, Dave. When the turbo spools up and my grin widens, I can't imagine if I had chosen a N/A model instead. But if your track goals push the need for N/A, a GTS could be the ticket. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it.
