agreed though. car is not 'twice as good', maybe 15% better if you want to quantify it?
I think last and best of breed -- it will be THE one to have when they are no longer had with this engine, manual trans, etc...
and that 15% better is likely divine...

people pay a lot for only incremental increases
15% bigger
15% tighter
etc etc

A friend of mine just told me that a dealer has a Black 4.0 for sale. <100 miles on it in Houston. Guy wants 20k+ over sticker.

Looking at it today, when I was getting my Cayenne turbo serviced. Gonna go look again on Thurs when I get my 993 turbo windscreen fixed. I could probably talk my accountant into it but then I wouldn't have any excuse to being the slowest guy on the track. Also kind of expensive to use as a track car...
I thought George's 4.0 sold and was headed down to the US? Can't remember why I thought that,... maybe someone at PDC told me at the last track event.

*ok - read the rest of the thread and yes, it was headed to Houston.*

And you'll never be the slowest guy at the track!!!

The car in Vancouver is a different car. This is the one that was in Vancouver. That makes for 3 different Black 4.0's in Houston recently. Someone (who was selling a black 4.0) tried to tell me there were only 5 Black 4.0's shipped to the U.S. I kind of laughed.

Sacrilege. Everyone knows there are not 5 Black 4.0s in the states.

You just showed us there are now 6...



Based on the Registry, we can surmise there are about 32 Black cars in the States. (give or take 100)
