Roger Penske reminds me of Martin Scorsese, can give you that look....

Okay, so all Porsche can do is win Overall, in Class P2, and in GT2 with Lizards 1-2.

All that's left is GT1 and knocking off the Corvette.
Maybe they could do a homologation with the Panamera and take that too?

20 Years since Porsche won overall Sebring, with a 962....
Check this month's Excellence maagazine by the way, comparo of the Dyson 962 and their Spyder.

Growing up, my dad was a vette guy (and still is... he has a beautiful '07).

All my friends were vette guys.

I was the only one with a p-car, it was a dream ever since I saw a neighbors 1968 911. I could have bought a newer and nicer vette than the p-car I chose back then, but it was not, and will never be, where my heart is. Not to knock corvettes, I have driven many and they have there charm, but it's just not me.

I am very close with my dad, and he still gives me ****... daily... about the p-car vs the corvette - BUT I WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO SEE PORSCHE OUTRIGHT DOMINATE CORVETTE! Must be the engineer in me!

I agree Don. The guy I bought my house from last year had a super-charged C6. It was nice to drive, had slot of power, but.....

I have signed up to go on tour to see the Penske RS Spyders as part of the Porsche Parade this summer..can't wait!
