V, six speed... Beautiful balance, but it needs more power.

I drove one years ago, same setup, then started building the 996, then into the 991... Porsche has spoiled me.

In fact my STi is faster too, but the noise of a na V8 is sublime.

Yeah, pretty much the same feeling here, sold mine for a nice premium.

I would very much like to try a V10 with a 6 speed - the extra hundred thunder ponies would help a lot.

I just got home from a Blowing Rock, Boone, and Banner Elk drive myself. Great roads and 20 degrees cooler than Charlotte. Turbos loved it!
