Three Wheelin'
physically smaller and focused on weight reduction.
ferrari is moving in the right direction.
although the "enzo nose" is still fugly.
would be nice if porsche did something like this,
although it would most likely require a seperate model
since a lot of 911 buyers like the S I Z E.

WOW great stuff. Anyone who doesn't think F1 technology can't be transitioned into road cars should read the link. Also, what appears to be a F1 steering wheel hub on P.10 is amazing. How does a driver absorb the information while doing almost 200mph?
Lastly, the use of electronic energy to overcome loss of torque while shifting is unbelieveable.

No doubt Porsche should be concentrating on dropping the weight of future 911 variants rather than increasing displacement. Imagine the improved acceleration, handling, braking and fuel economy of a 998 with the 3.6L GT3 motor with DFI giving 450 NA horsepower in a car weighing less than 3000 pounds. Add in DSG, lighter wheels and ceramic brakes for less unsprung weight and I'd be one happy camper.

Would me nice. At least one manufacturer is doing this. I never understood why are car like the GT3 can't at least be under 3000 lbs; it is just plain ridiculous. But from everything I read, it feels like a light car; I'll find out soon enough when I do a back to back with my Exige S.
