definitely makes me feel proud & privileged,.... to even own the 3.8 version of this car. For the money I paid (compared to one of these 4.0's),... I'll drive it every day till I die!!

Great vid. Incredible car. I’d love to own one, but at $500K, I’m happy with my 08 RS at 30% of the cost of the mighty 4.0

lol. And I was thinking exactly like that the other day: would love to own/upgrade to a 7.1rs, but I'm getting a lot fun at 30% of the cost out of a 987 spyder

bumped into him a few times. He's a super nice guy that's easy to approach.

What an amazing car and I liked the guys delivery. Very car focused and not 'me' focused. I liked his comments regarding getting heel-toe right with the light weight flywheel Metzger. I remember having to get used to that when I got my car 11 years ago after driving my 996 Turbo.

What Porsche facility was that? There is ZERO room for error there. You go off and it's going to hurt!

Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles.

Porsche Experience Center ATL is similar to it, very tight. If you want a proper driving experience with runoff space, you'd be better off at one of the Porsche Driving Schools that they host at Barber Motorsport Park in Alabama.

Nice facility. I've dropped by the Atlanta facility but only to check it out. Was spur of the moment so couldn't go on track.

Barber and Road Atlanta are on my bucket list. Been to both a few times to watch events but haven't sucked it up yet to drag my car the 1000 miles to run them though.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. PECLA is fun. My favorite part is flying down the straight that boarders the 405 and looking over at all the cars in stopped in bumper to bumper traffic and being grateful that I'm doing "other" things at the moment. I stay humble because I know I'll be joining them in just a matter of time LOL.
