What do you mean by "spam" ??? I posted it in my blog and wanted to share with my Rennlist friends!! what's the matter??
Clarkson got it wrong big time when states that the 4S has exactly the same flat 6 engine as the Turbo,
listen to it at 4min 30sec into the video and I love the end bit where he compares different
women's body's to the varying 911's.
Clarkson is a longtime Porsche-hater, big head and buffoon - i can't stand his smart-*** comments.
PS - He adores Ferraris.
You are correct. Which is why he begrudgingly said this about the turbo in his Top 100 cars video (circa 2003?)...
"It hurts me to say this, but of all the cars you can buy today, this is the best"

True enough they are both 3.6l but not the same engines. He was also wrong saying the C4s was a Porsche and that it could get over 100k miles and keep running. The C4S engine can't, after 10 years with with some lazy track days over he years driven by a beginner and no pro and 120k km the engine needs a rebuild, scored cylinder. No better then any British made engine. The Turbo is a much better deal in the long run. btw I own both today and only talk from experience.
