lol The cars are truely amazing, they are just very hard to drive. The clutch alone, is like leg pressing seriously!!. Im quite happy with driver aids, and safety stuff in my 07 Camry any day over them. He loves the cars, and is so ocd about keeping them in top running condition. I dont sneak a drive, but my mom has been known to LOL. Have you been in a Lotus Exige or driven one on a track day? That car is SUCH A THRILL!!! Such modest horsepower but it weights next to nothing, and its just such a blast!.

Nice! What a great set-up having one as a Sunday driver and another for the track only. Tell your dad I'm *very* jealous. Would he ever let you, or a (cough, cough) friend borrow one? Just for a little while?

My dad has two Porsche 911 Turbo (930 type). They both predate most driver aids, and they both predate my birth lol. One is meticulously maintained for Sunday drives. The other is a track rapist. I refuse to drive either car. The famous throw back into the chair acceleration and the turbo lag all make the car scary. Its exhilarating though and if you dont follow the slow in fast out... you die. The best part of the car is watching it at night, while racing and when the manifolds turn bright orange/red. Amazing. This isnt our cars, its just to show how amazing the manifolds change colour. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/A...che_684493.htm

It was an RS that I think he uses only for track-driving (he hauled it in a trailer to the track). I really, really need to get one of those someday! What Porsches do your family own? I might have to drop by and hit you up for a ride in one the next time I'm in Florida.

NICE review/experience of the 996 GT3. One of my fav cars, especially in Lime green, or Red. Was it a standard gt3? or an RS lol (sorry just happened to stumble across your blog). My family owns many Porsches.
