Very nice car and very nice bike! Looks like a great little collection you've got going there. Don't be suprised if an MDOT inspector shows up and needs to "inspect" your garage, cars, and bike soon. I'd love to see that thing in action when it gets warmer out! Congrats!

I can honestly say this is the best car I have ever driven. I have a good friend who I let drive the car and afterwards all he said was this car makes him want to work harder!

I haven't been able to drive the car like it was meant to be driven yet and really won't be able to until I get it out on a track. With the break in period for the car you are supposed to keep the rpm's under 4,200 for the first 1,000 miles. 4K is right where this car starts making a lot of power so I haven't been able to feel the acceleration that the car is capable of yet. I have pushed it pretty hard around some nice on ramps and the grip that the car has even in cold weather is amazing, the car has no roll at all.

The only downside to the car is how low it is and how much overhang there is in the front. I have scraped the front a few times even when trying to be very careful. The good news is Porsche put on a small plastic strip that looks like it would be inexpensive to change and makes a huge noise when you hit something.

Default Incredible!

Gene, consider putting up a few pix on the Garage Junkies gallery...you would be in good company with that great looking space (and toys to fill it )

Where's the signup sheet for CGT rides anyway?
