Don't let 'em push you around. Insist on a test drive before you place your order.

I'd rather have a GT2 RS and 450 sets of Hoosiers.

In the olden days, supercars cost as much as a house - Porsche has just realized they need to catch up with modern house prices!

I wonder what kind of a discount you could expect off MSRP?

What is amusing is the Porsche 911 Turbo S "Edition 918 Spyder" that they are offering with the 918.

The 911 Turbo S "Edition 918 Spyder" features the same exterior colours, carbon-fibre elements inside and out, enhanced leather equipment and numerous acid-green accents, such as the brake calipers, illuminated sill plates, interior stitching and instrument cluster needles. A limited-edition plaque on the glovebox lid will feature the same production number as the customer’s personal 918 Spyder.
A 911 Turbo for the week and a 918 for Sunday best?
