+1 ...... After looking at the 599XX again, I 've realized that I'd rather
have a new Viper ACR "Hardcore delete" for $100k and keep my million
in the bank.

With the similar paint schemes, they look the same and the ACR "Hardcore"
has a 1000lbs. of down force without those "flying nun" appendages.

So, it's like a GT3RS Turbo in a Turbo body? Cool.

Ouch!!!!

So much praise for DFI. A GT2 RS needs another 100Hp to stay in the game against the ZR1, and ACR, it also needs all the aero and suspension from the 2010 GT3 RS, or better.

DFI breaking at 550HP, that's a joke, that's just 20Hp more than the 2008 GT2.

I hope Porsche keeps developing and racing the GT1 engine. The most race proven race engine in a street car anywhere.

I'm not saying that I don't believe it, but that's only 20 more hp than the soon to be released S w/530hp and DI.

Maybe my .2 GT3 will be a keeper.
