One of these days I'll bring my C230K to the track and spank Porsches with it ... so it proves what? Sorry to say but most Porsche drivers suck!! How did the EVO do at the ring with 1000hp, etc. ... wait it never did ... because it blew up on the tenth lap!
Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo are the only true sports cars remaining on the planet. They are fast, beautiful, and powerful. Everythig else is wannbe, cheap Xerox copies or worse and intended for some other use than being a true sports car. People tune them because they are seemingly diposable, just like the people that drive them.

Look, we can get along!! Check out my wife, in the Evo, with the PCA-Chicago, last August at GingerMan Raceway. This event is always a blast; we always meet great people at this--and other-- PCA events. But, let's be frank, some of us need to take ourselves--and our cars--less seriously.
