Default Porsche 911 did it again! The morortrend best driver's car of 2013
Thank you guys for uploading an amazing video! I truly enjoy watching it.
Congrats to all 991(991) owners, our car is the best driver's car of 2013 & 2013.
Some say that they should not bring another 911 to the next year's competition because they will win it again, probably GT3 ?

Let's make Porsche 991 a triple champion.. go go!

Fantastic video and great shakedown of all the cars!

The shots of the Laguna Seca corkscrew reminded me of the stomach-dropping feel of going through the cloned curve on the Porsche Leipzig test track in a 911 GT3RS. That was an experience...

My home track and favorite back road (Highway 198). The drive from Coalinga to Highway 25 to Hollister is a couple of hours of sports car heaven. Come to think of it my avatar was taken back there in my 997S.

The rear engine does it again. Go figure. Dr. Porsche knew something way back when.

At least the Porsches beat the Ford Focus. Not much difference between the 991 and Cayman.

I agree, Cayman was quick for having almost 100 less hp.

The GTR finished 1st and yet I have no desire to drive one. Something repelling about that car for me.

+1000. WTF were the designers thinking with the body design of that pig? I wonder how many sales they lost because of how ugly it is...
