Yeah, I'd like to know more too, especially if he knows something we don't know.

Actually, Jeff I'll give you a deposit for a Jet/Powered/Flying RC51 from Honda (sad thing is I bet Honda will beat everyone to the puch for flying vehicles (non pilot's))

Hey Jeff, nice looking color coordination on your sig's CGT there. 
You have a definite talent for color coordination. Interested in being my interior decorator?
Oh, your B-Actress avatar pic's not bad either.

You can see how much importance Porsche place on unsprung weight with the new 998. Now if they hadn't bought VW they could have finished the job and done the back as well. I think that means the next generation VW "PhatOne" will have the Porsche "MagLev" rear suspension.
