Sorry, but nope. Very next frame shows the tach with GT4 on it. For whatever reason, the marketing folks put some GT4 footage, shifter + tach, into the GT3RS vid.

They are marginally better on track than the big steelies. And, unless you're budgeting like a real race team, they wear out so fast on track that you can measure them in "thousands per weekend". All of the guys who really track their GT3s either option steel brakes, or get the carbons and swap them out upon delivery…

The GT3 is out of production and no new allocations were to be issued after last December. The car is 100% sold out. The GT4 also won't have nearly enough allocations for the number of orders dealers have taken. So if you want a Porsche GT car, this is your one and only option... assuming you get to your dealer ASAP.…

PCNA actually requires $5000 to get on the list now... the $1000 deposits were before they made the car official. And, if you're not already on a list it is doubtful you'll find an allocation. I'm #7 on my dealer's list and they weren't sure if I'd even get a car...

The reference standard is STILL the 9g Pioneer Kuro displays. OLED is IMO a generation away from finally surpassing the last of the great plasmas.

Complications in watches are 'features' to most folks. A moonphase is a common complication. Perpetual calendar (one which knows leap years) is a very complex one. Tourbillions are $$$ (and honestly useless outside of looking freaking cool). Minute repeaters, etc. The more complications fit in a single watch, the more…

I sold an 07 GT3 to get an 07 turbo. It really depends on what you want from the car. I don't DD either of them, but I would have with either if my commute wasn't just sitting idle in traffic for an hour. The GT3 is the greatest single driving experience of my life. I tracked the car - went to COTA and drove it hard…

As others have pointed out, he goes to the shelf for other parts. It is his car and his choice, and if I won the powerball I'd actually take it as it sits without a manual (I'll have to turn in my jalop card, but F it, I'd have a Pagani). But if he wanted to make it manual, he could find a transmission that could work.

1000 NM = ~737 Ft/Lbs. Lots of transmissions can handle that. Tremec TR6060 for sure - see cat, hell. Whatever Porsche put into the 997 Turbo can handle that much as well - mine puts 732 ft/lbs to the wheels, and people making much more than that are on stock transmissions as well.

You'd think an auto site like Jalopnik would be pointing out the AMAZING benefits that E85 provides for the horsepower junkies of the world.

Vote ;-)

Obvious answer is obvious.

Nice list - but one very big omission. How is the Buffalo Trace distillery not on this list? It dates to 1773, and buildings from 1812 are still standing on the property.

Just give me back Imola period. Beyond all else he's done, I hate Bernie most for the disrespect he's shown that track. It has the rating needed to host a race, give it to them. And not even just because that's the track where Ayrton died. But that alone should be reason enough.

WTF is up with the new comment system? I'm no longer worthy of making comments?

Oops nope I got it backwards, Porsche brought debt due to the silly buyout they tried in the mid 2000's.

"With 10.6 Billion in cash reserves..."

Somebody (or a group of somebodies) win the Nobel Prize. The standard model is mostly confirmed, and work can begin in other areas with improved knowledge. Basically, physics moves forward a few steps.

And most importantly, the last year of the original 911 & 930 Turbo.

It just doesn't make any sense. Want a jag gt? Pony up and get the real one, the XK. Want a sports car for 80k? Go buy a 911. Or better yet, go buy a boxster/alfa 4c/corvette/something else and pocket the other 20k.
