That's awesome. Congrats on the new toy Charlie. Let us know if it really does launch hard.

Thumbs up

Killer cars! They are often over shadowed by more exotic cars that they can easily out perform.

It's so much fun!

The 911 Turbo S is their "top of the line" 911 for street use...... the 918 Spyder is the top of the line Porsche... at around a million and a half bucks USED. It's "almost" as quick. LOL

They make a 911 GT3 RS that is a very competent track car as well as street use and it's around $175K base price --- kinda their Pro Touring version you might say? But it's not as quick in acceleration at 3.1 secs 0-60..... it's REAR WHEEL DRIVE vs all wheel drive.

Frankly -- I've never been able to keep track of all the models Porsche makes just in the 911 version! Porsche shows 16 different models for the 911 line up.
Launch Control Mode was a BLAST !

GT3 is pretty much a race car with a ride to match. I wanted a street car that is stupid fast but still has a good ride.
