I understand that german cars are at the head of the pack, and most domestics cant even compare. Im also not comparing handling so much as straightline power. Im not claiming to know everything. Im just sayin, If i had 70 large and a need for speed, Id be compelled to buy a Harley, (10grand) a boat ( say 20 Grand) A truck to pull it with (used, lets say 10 Grand) and a new gto (30 grand) or a mustang or something along those lines......but lets not get off track... I love porshes, and the thought of driving one puts a smile on my face regardless. And this is a beautiful pic of a beautiful car. 350D, 17-40

Jan 24, 2006 23:50 | #10 Raw HP, you may be correct, but raw power means nothing if the rest is not perfect and tuned well. I’m not trying to start a war either, however, with ALL aspects of the car considered, the 911 I believe is the best production built “race” car. Race being the key word, it is perfectly tuned for all aspects of an intense circuit race, while other cars (those mentioned above may have a faster top speed) -Corbett

Ospi Goldmember  More info | Jan 25, 2006 01:11 | #13 ur all wrong:
on a more serious note, the 911 is a precise balance between power, handling and styling, something ,ost other cars cant achieve imo. the only other cars which come close in all areas would be a 360 - f430 which id take over any car ever  .on the other hand an evo 9 or new sti would be brilliant and u would probably enjoy yourself more in one of them i rekon since u wouldnt be as worried about pushing it to its limits. now whos gonna transfer 56k into my account for an evo 9??
