-JQ- Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Sadly I'm not the BE member that owns this beauty...he'll remain anon. for now unless he wants to chime in. I've ridden in plenty of "fast" cars and "race" cars...but this thing accelerates like, nothing I know...0-60 become a silly measure at this level but it is around 3 seconds...all wheel drive, 530 HP, twin turbos, 7 speed auto/paddle, carbon brakes...and it all seems to get to the ground. I've been in love with the 911/930 Turbos since the mid eighties - high school days. So getting to ride in this thing is really a bucket list thing. I'm not sure what kind of insurance it would require but... Anyway it is incredible to ride around in it and get to take photos...which I plan on doing a lot. Shooting this thing is like photo-crack...I need it at sunrise, sunset, track day....we took it down to Buds Friday night but I didn't see anyone I knew of course. It is a tricky color to photo especially in the sun. It is a metallic black and reflects everything - think black mirror. SO I ended up processing some of these a bit more than I usually do. But practive makes perfect and I think we'll be doing it a lot huh, M? Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Fantastic car!!The wife an I had agreed to buy one for each other for our 25th wedding anniversary and do the delivery in europe so we could really enjoy the car before bringing it home to the States..... long story short vehicle accident that involved my uninsured Donzi and then a bought with unemployment left a hole we are still digging out of... no Porsche for me :-( Edited March 12, 2012 by Paul-the new guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airedale Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 We had a non turbo 911 when stationed in Germany. Great fun. Had a targa top-leaked like a sieve. Mrs. Airedale literally ran it to death. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Wow. That would look really good in my garage. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 If that's who I think it is, I got a ride from him once. Damp. Cold. That was the state of the roads, and almost the state of my undies afterwards! You must remember that the driver wants to crash even LESS than you do!

-JQ- Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 You must remember that the driver wants to crash even LESS than you do! That is exactly what I thought...I was never worried. Plus I can't think of any better place to die that wrapped in carbon fiber, leather and german engineering. Mid-ohio...good idea. I'll have to make sure he's out of town that weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfactor Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Awesome car, and sweet photos... You must remember that the driver wants to crash even LESS than you do! Well said, Steve... I may have to borrow that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jid2 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I'm pretty familiar with how those things look in my rear view mirror. The whole car looks pretty good as well though I'd go GT3RS, if I were to dabble in the concept of Porsche in my garage. The Germans do know how to make a nice go fast car.

Well, that would be your chance to have the money to buy one. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/search/cta?query=porsche&srchType=T&minAsk=&maxAsk= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl @ GT Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Hello, Here is a foto of my dad's '02 3.6 Porsche RS race car, I think it is a 997, it is a X-The Racers Group Team car with miles at Sebring, Daytona and all the cool tracks. Sorry I should of moved that old car out of the way for the foto. later, karl @ GT Edited March 12, 2012 by Karl @ GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JQ- Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Chills, I'm just trying to keep up with the joneses... Karl, those two offer a very tough choice. That old car might just be my pick. WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
