    Oh, by the way, my 3.8TT will, I am willing to wager, blow the doors off any Ferrari short of the 599 or the enzo in a 0 to 150mph race.
    I say that with no malice or disrespect and the cs is my favorite all around ride, but the porsche motor can take mad mods and stay in one piece. I can count on one hand the good, engine mod fcars I have seen or heard of.

    So to answer the original query, no, Porsche cars are not pigs and imo they make a very good car. Not all models are fast, but they USED to all be fun to drive. I have no experience driving the 997 yet except the new 993 and it is a superb car. Sorry to hear the caymen is a dissappointment. I have heard that before also.

    Assuming I want a good handling and fun car it would break down like this:
    If I had to have only one car, it would be a Ferrari.

    If I had to have only one car AND drive it daily, it would be a Porsche.

    If I had to have only one car AND drive it to work AND haul things it would be a BMW!

    Pete, agreed man.. I have to say, when i went to the 997 GT3RS unveiling/party, along with all of the videos of Porsche history, their R8 Spyder racecar, the aura in the whole room/building was immense!! I was so proud to be a car enthusiast ESPECIALLY a Porsche one, at that... I felt part of a legendary history, it was a crazy feeling :)

    Talk about a drug addict.......what the hell does this crap mean? The English language skills of teenagers in this country is pathetic.

    Again, has your son accepted the challenge?

    And stop with the grow up crap, I'm over 40 and unlike you posers actually own a 996TT.

    You are an absolute idiot and a total tool. The 996TT is a GT, whereas the Boxster is a mid-engine roadster - closer in reality to the 360/430 than the 911 turbo, all day long. That b.s. about the small penis and the 'I can't afford a 'real' Porsche' crap is spoken only by those who have never owned either. You must be all of 13 years old - if not, you sure act like it. Take a good look at the majority of true enthusiasts who drive Boxsters - look at the lap times versus ANY of the 911's save the GT3 and GT2 variants, and stop talking out of your ass.

    As far as I understand it....the wager was open to any Porsche owner that would accept...I own a Porsche, well two, and I accept the offer! I am just representing my GearErotica and 6speedonline brothers....and I would donate the F40 to charity (or give it to Paris Model to start her formula D drift team) since I own an LM... SO ARE WE ON OR WHAT??

    PS. I will even give you a head start as a handicap against my little 6 Cylinder 996...

    So I forgot to place a c in the word call, you can't make heads or tails of an entire sentence due to that? Geeze, the third grade should keep you for another year.

    And unlike you and your young stupid friends I can use punctuation and I make far less spelling errors than "your" kind.

    And for you to claim or admit that you're over 40 is truly disgusting. Act your age, you're not in junior high school anymore, grow up retard.

    As far as you understand it? The post wasn't directed at you, you can't tell that? And you're "representing"? This isn't the "hood" holmes, get a clue. I will bet more than my fair share of cash that if an appointment was setup you either wouldn't show up or when you lost, you wouldn't hand over the keys. Your as big a joke as your loser crowd that you're directing here. Take your **** head homies and travel.

    You're such a total ****** bag. I really wish I lived closer to you. That would be a fun day!

    You're not a national champion anything other than total clit. What do you think?

    Well that's the problem... They are not that incredible. The Cayman is underpowered and 911 is boring to drive. Nobody is saying Porsche is crap, only that it is far from the God-like status bestowed upon it by some journos.

    Well, at least we know how your post count got so high...this entire page is your doing, and you have yet to say ONE THING car related or useful. You are a TROLL plain and simple. The funny thing is that you will sit back and call people names from the comfort of your keyboard, but I bet in person you are as weak as the car you would bring to this challenge. '62, you DO NOT know who you are talking to, who you are dealing with, or what you are talking about. The water here is deep.

    If you could read, you would see that your friend B-Mak opened himself up to anyone with a Porsche. Now he has a challenger, and where is he? YOU continue to run your mouth and the best you can muster is a 10 year old BMW. Oh, BTW, does B-Mak even OWN a Ferrari or Porsche? He still has not told us what he is going to use to back up his claims.

    As for calling out my friend FerrariPete and wishing he lived closer to you, here is one for you: it looks like I will be in your neck of the woods on business in the next couple of months...you may not live close to FerrariPete, but I will be in your backyard soon enough...Care to meet me? It will be "a fun day" I promise...hell, you can even bring B-Mak along.

    Name your terms and find out! I have been on PINKS several times, showed and went home with a smile (and a car)... So now its time to stop your talk, step back from the keyboard, call your best bud with the F40 and come see me! I have my Porsche PINK slip and I am willing to put it in escrow, along with your 'fair share of cash' at ANY TIME...so now the ball is in your court....wait...wait.....don't drop it!

    COME FIND OUT HOW SERIOUS I AM....

    Read you own damn posts you ****. You're slamming members of the board like a total piece of ****, what kind of response did you think you and your **** hole friends would get. You and your retarded friends are the epitome of the work Troll. I've pretty much gathered enough info here to make an informed decision on which car is best suited to me and my likely driving habits. Also I've come across a few cars on this site that are and will be for sale, so I've benefited quite well from being here. I can see that you like to disrupt **** and bring morons from other sites here to incite riots, that's very productive.

    I know exactly what moron I'm dealing with. You're one of many. "The water is deep", yeah sure!

    I'll race you any time and any where, will you be driving here or conveniently leave all your race cars at home? We have 3 tracks here and I'll take you to school on each one. If I don't, you can have the car I bring.

    Oh and P.S. I wager $1000 that you never show up and I wager another $1000 that you don't have any business near me whatsoever.

    And P.S. The government of Nova Scotia probably won't allow you to touch children here, we have laws in place for people like you so get your fix before leaving home.

    LOL, I love this stuff. Even if I didnt know what type of car you had, just by your last 2 posts, one could easily tell a Ferrari isn't your main car. Why? 2 reasons:

    1. You don't have EC any where visible
    2. You are enjoying life a bit too much(like thats possible)


    Keep it up man. :)
