Nice article in the latest issue titled "What Superman Would Drive: Porsche 911 GT3"

Couldn't find a link to an online version of the article. The magazine just showed up in my mailbox today. Nice read.

Wow. Just went back and looked. Appears as if they were plowing fields with it prior to the shoot.

I just got my magazine yesterday. One thing I noticed is that the 996 GT3 beats the 997 GT3 tested by the same magazine in the 1/4 mile.

It's almost impossible to not bash up the front spoiler.

Read the article. The author is almost giddy in his praise of this car.
