I posted this in the Racing/DE forum as well.....

Last weekend Monticello opened for one day because of unseasonably nice weather. This was a great opportunity for me to shake down my non-spec Boxster after spending its winter at Deman Motorsport. The car ran great and I shook off the cobwebs from the winter.

There was an MP4-12C at the club. I must say that I found it more attractive in person than many of the pics I had seen before. It was very high on the cool meter. The interior was also really sweet.

I was the passenger in the car for one 'warm' lap around the circuit (i.e. not pushing the car hard). The car felt incredibly well planted in the corners and 130 mph on the long straight felt like we were driving the legal limit. The sound was AWESOME. It's one of the coolest cars I've ever been in.

The last pic of the wheel shows a separate small caliper which I'm told is the e-brake!

Amazing looking car. But I still like the original McLaren F1 better.

At first glance looking at the interior I thought: "what's that turbine doing where the sport chrono should be..." ...then I realized it's the A/C duct.

Sorry. It's just not doing it for me. I did sit a Ferrari 458 italia red over tan last week and what a totally beautiful car. That being said I can't imagine driving it around the city. Back in 997.1. Love it. Thanks for posting though.
