My next car will be a Porsche 997 something...

[foofighter]

look up youtube for one where tiff needle drives a mclaren and an enzo as a daily drive quite interesting

[Burner]

yes, the mclaren (in Nam's pic) is one of my fav cars ever... the 3 seater that you sit in the middle, how cool is that?

I've ridden in a CarreraGT... so sick, felt like just too much car for the street to me.

Same with the GT3, if it was a track car I'd be all over it, but as a daily driver... I'd settle for a 997 turbo

That's what I get for being in a hurry. I was at work and copied the wrong link and then didn't even check it. Thanks for the heads up. I thought it looked a little strange after I posted it.

Maybe that guy on MTBR was right: maybe I am a tool

I was there on Sunday. It's a yellow S7.

I'd keep it vintage 300 SL in the parking lot at my work.

[Neccros]

Dont waste your time.... biggest POS.... yeah there are 397 left... I heard only 399 were made and Eddie Griffin and the Swedish dude from Malibu who ripped his in half so that leaves 397...

Also one of the dudes from NC Soft owns one too... he is known to drive around Irvine and OC....

I will own this car.

A high-revving naturally aspirated engine often indicates that a car’s engineers have made driver involvement a priority. Working to keep the engine screaming high in the rpm range — and being drawn into the wailing soundtrack — is almost always more rewarding than standing on the gas of a mega-torque turbo.
This thought kept bouncing around in our heads while wringing out the latest and highest-revving version of the 997 Porsche 911 — the GT3.
[SIZE=3]2007 Porsche 911 GT3 997 Driving Impressions[/SIZE]

Even at idle, you know this is something special. The seats tremble from the high-strung flat-six’s lumpy idle, and a stab at the throttle yields instant response. The GT3 goads you to stand on it, and you submit. As the car screams through first gear (in less time than it takes to read this sentence), it becomes apparent that the GT3’s gearing is noticeably shorter than that of other 911s. Above about 4000 rpm the cabin fills with a robust growl as the exhaust bypass opens up. Initially, you shift by sound at about 6000 rpm, and the engine feels impressive. But then you realize that you’ve got another 2400 rpm to play with, and when you push into the upper reaches of the power band, there’s an awakening at 6000 rpm. The engine absolutely shrieks to the 8400-rpm redline. Anyone listening on the outside is treated to a fantastic race-quality wail.
On the track, of course, is where the GT3 shines. At first, we thought there was noticeable understeer through some lower-speed sweepers, but it turns out we hadn’t started trusting the massive grip of the rear tires yet. Blasting out of a corner, the GT3 has shocking traction — its 415 hp scorches the ground. If you push too hard, the tires break away predictably, and the GT3 is never scary — no amount of experimentation with jumping off the throttle could get the rear end to come around. (Car and Driver)
Best daily driver? Nope. Best driver's car at any price? I think so.

great review...NA motors are more visceral IMO like when i had an S2000 it just begs to be wailed on
