the 997 turbo is good, i would rather have a true RWD beast the 997 is AWD but it's rear wheel biased.

can i interest you in a Porsche GT2? that's turbo and 1/3 the calories of a 997 awd

cayman's are nice true mid engined car...coworker's bro is some region head for Porsche America and he gets to drive new porsche every 6k miles...and he actually prefers the Cayman/Boxster because of this.

I'll take a Ford GT and put a twin turbo kit on it, nothing like 1000+hp at the rear wheels

Yep, bummer they chased them out of there. She lives in Corona Del Mar so I see that car a couple times a month. Her head is missing in my pic, she was one of the few that still got on it when leaving, the NB Police are total buzz killers.

Crystal cove moved to the Ford parking lot near the Irvine spectrum sat mornings early. Haven't been there personally but I've been told that it's twice the amount of cars.

I work in Newport It's like a car show everyday Lambo's Ferrari's, Porsche, Bently ,Rolls These are cars i see on a regular basis. Boy do I love Newport.

There is another video out somewhere of a guy with a red GT doing the same upgrade. Its friggin insane to see him race next to a crotch rocket then stab the throttle and just blows him away!!!
