yeah...

the Mille Miglia was most definitively a "rally", complete with stages and everything, Cars left at regular intervals and were scored on ET. The Targa was the same except it on a loop.

German pilot did it first....just saying...

sure!

If you are going to do it, do it right....Pirelli Sottozero and go!

But seriously, since when is drifting, racing?

Limited usefulness as a track toy since there is no way to cart tires without a trailer.

Welcome to NYC! they certainly gave you a real special gift, usually it's just a ticket for being too near a hydrant. Stupid law BTW made to give more tickets. no way firemen need all that room to plug in a hose, no way.

That Paul Ricard, Webber drove in Portugal

Probably been mentioned but, had this been in place in 2008, Massa would be a World Champion :)

Sounds like it swallowed a tea kettle

I don't think I follow where you are going or, more likely, I did not explain myself well enough. The NY Daily news is not a place I would expect to find expert info on anything, much less a reasoned article on a Carrera GT. I don't think that was entirely an accident's all.

Oh, I meant that as a compliment to Porsche PR. Given the ridiculous feeding frenzy over the CGT they did well to place a, I would say "perfectly sane" piece in a major daily.

Porsche PR dept. doing its job well.

50mph impact into pole...

45 mph? yes, a car will get seriously messed up running into a pole at 45 but that looks more like a plane crash than a car crash

it might be nicer if you put this one rather than the dead bodies one....

Quantum...

I think you can be sure of one thing, if it wasn't worth it, it would not be done.

997 to 991 shift for 14 aside, that's probably the correct price for an early TRG car and all they go through in their rental car career! :)
