a lot of flats. That's neat, I like that we can fit a set of wheels in a 951 if we try.

I also like the track stickers, I will get one/some as I meet new tracks.

LOL...

Buddy of mine bought a roof rack for his 993 so he could start bringing a different set of tires to the track.

Purposeful... but we still make fun of him for it. Clark W. Griswold going to the track in the truckster...

If you get the opportunity to really flog a Cayman R or Boxster Spyder you might change your tune.

I thought when the Cayman came out they didn't offer LSD because it would challenge or surpass similar vintage 911 (at the time).

If the engineers and marketing department at Porsche had any sense, with today's gas prices, poor economy and shortage of fossil fuel, they would look into a modern day 944 turbo or 968, a 4 cylinder which would be economical and powerful at the same time, they would increase their profits and produce a car that is affordable to more people worldwide (not to mention more appealing)...

Something that really shocked me recently was BMWs new 3 series (F30, I guess they ran out of E numbers). They're now putting turbocharged 4 bangers in the lower-spec cars while keeping the turboed 6 for the higher-spec. I don't think the U.S. will even get a naturally aspirated choice.
