Not always.....When I unbutton my shirt, sport the manicured chest hair and put the gold chains on, the women all love my old school wingless Murcielago. Of course it might be me and not the car they love lol?

From RC@Rennteam:

"The US market gets most cars, then Germany. Every German dealer is supposed to get one car, maybe two depending on the size and importance of the dealership. Actually, only around 90 cars are planned for Germany."

I heard 12 for Sweden???

Porsche need to get the RS cup edition finalized. Can't stand that a Viper crushes RS on track.

They should just ship the cars in bubble wrap for the lucky few who will get one.

Haven't you heard?! This is the only Porsche that comes from the factory with a battery tender and ramps to prevent flat spots.

I'll keep my Club Coupe, if it is based on the article above...Only 14HP more, higher revs,and lighter, ok.

Ironically, this past weekend, I was discussing what would have been the ideal ClubCoupe: GT3 front and rear bumper, with a ducktail. Looks like it is coming to fruition...

You are probably right. At least Porsche has something to aim at. I'm a die hard Porsche enthusiast, and it feels weird to even consider Mustangs and Vipers.
Sure, there has always been high HP cars that have been great in a straight line, but now the competition has really figured out how to make them handle. Ok, maybe the corvette team has a bit tinkering to do. But that Viper is really the new RS........ If it holds up????

Time will tell.

I got a RS because I believe they take some good beating.

There are other alternatives but at the end of the trackday the Porsches still runs.

Viper is impressive anyway.
