No I didn't know that, I don't use this place to much anymore after I got pm'd death threats for not being anti police.
Wow your a cayenne man now, welcome aboard, what one did you go for?
How are you finding it?

Maybe I will have to redirect you to PH

A few crossed wires here I think, Tim.

Trouty's GT3 may soon be gone - he's buying some new fangled, wrong wheeled (or is that one wheeled ? ) drive, lightweight piece of Germanic crap.

I was asking after your Cayenne - I've still got the 911.

Hey fishy

I caught the tail end of some episode of TG on bbc3 the.other night that had the gt3 rs, the 468 italia and mb sls. When they did a drag race it was just the 468 vs sls, why was the the rs excluded from that bit?

Ahh ok I'm with you now, that week of non stop drinking seems to have caught up with me.
Cayenne = expensive.....
But I am going for a club sport later in the year. The joys of Porsche ownership are fast over taking the joys of Subaru ownership.

If things go well this year i might finally join club 911.
So mr trout what are you leaving us for... Whats her name???? She wont treat you like a Porsche does.

Because it is much slower - it has over 100bhp less than the other two so Clarkson said it was not worthy of the race.

Sounds about right as I think it is over a second slower to 100mph than the 458.

For a drag race they really needed the new Turbo S which may actually have been a more likely comparison to something like an SLS - but the choices were not particularly rational.

Think the Turbo S would have beaten them both.

The Turbo S and the 458 have both managed the same quarter mile time - 10.8s - which is pretty quick for a production car!

True.

The only difference will be that the Porsche will do it each time no matter if its bone dry or wet.
