I think this is one of the most remarkable machines out there in the market, with VTG, porsche has again perfected the turbo system in the car using titanium blades in the turbo, that change angles so air entry into the turbines increases according to need, optimizing torque and HP.
Porsche is known for its awesome handing and agility to maneuver everyday driving conditions, and when switched to sport mode, may easily conquer the tracks.
Words do not justify the overall impact this car has on a person, but it truly is a ?drivers car.?
This car offers more to the driver than just speed and handling; it offers everyday usability and comfort than most exotics. With high quality interior, improved noise reduction in the cabin, and EPA city/Hwy mileage @ 15/22, this car has pushed the bar to the next level in performance, luxury and comfort.

What's the low-end for what a 360 coupe is going for nowadays?

(no F1 trannie, not a Spider, not a Challenge, etc')

yes but if youve ever driven a Z06, the driving comfort could be compared to that of a go cart, yes its fast, and yes its alot more bang for your buck, but as a daily driver?! hell no, plus, the only ppl buying corvettes are old men having their midlife crisis, and you really cant compare the over all build qualities of a corvette to a Porsche.

Want to hear something absolutely hilarious? A $65k 2006 Corvette Z06 will beat or keep up with any of these cars and would last just as long.

Not that I would buy a Corvette, or anything. Well, maybe; but probably not.

I think we both agree, Porsche has never been an exotic and it never will be. Its always been a damn good sports car. Mr and Mrs normal can afford a Porsche but not a Ferrari/Lamborghini.

As for racing, we wont go there :)

Porsche is the girl you bring home to your parents and the Ferrari/Lamborghini is the slut on the side ;)

diff class yes.....but im not talkin about those ppl, im talkin about me and how i justify it, its an opinion, u could say a freakin corolla is better than a porsche cuz its better for the earth, u know? but i would disagree on the fact that ppl w/ ferraris and lambo dont care about racing porsches and what not. i dunno if youve heard of this particular strech of hwy called PCH, but if ur in the OC like i am, and spend a few hours drivin up and down the PCH i can gaurantee you'll find either a Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, Bently, MB SL, BMW 6 or any other car racing each other. Including Bikes racing cars

I dont think you'll find many people who hate/dislike Porsche. I just thought the comparison was unfair. You cannot compare a Porsche to a Ferrari or Lamborghini. They are in a completely different class. People who shop Ferraris and Lamborghinis do not cross shop with Porsche. Like I said earlier people who drive these cars (Lamborghinis and Ferraris) do not care to race Porsches

nice....its good to know theres a fellow porsche lover here on naseeb, yeah and saw that GT3 vid, cant wait for the GT2 tho, twin turbo mayhem! Ferrari and lambos make ppl dream, porsche makes them realities, i duno if uve seen the euro commercial for porsche, i think u can see it on ther webpage, but its a lil boy goin to a porsche dealership, the salesman gives him his card, and the kid return after some years and buys a porsche, damn, thas gonna be me soon, haha, i mean i have a Boxter right now, but a 911; cant wait.

finally!!!!!
i'm with you on the the 911 Turbo!!
Ferraris are beautiful cars but they just scream for attention.
One of my uncles has a 360 Modena and then got a 911 Turbo and even he says the 911 is a much better car all around. Speed, performance, practicallity!!!
log on to porscheusa.com and check out the video of the new GT3!! So sad the F430 costs twice as much but only dreams to keep up with a GT3

its all personal opinion, but imagine u sittin in a lambo or ferrari, and getting burned by a porshe, when ur paying almost $200k for a car u want that sort of performance. its like paying 500 dollars for versace jeans; and diesels do the same job, maybe even better.

That all maybe but it will never have the mystique of a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
