"As long as you keep the front wheels pointed in the correct direction, the system will ultimately save even a clumsy driver" .... that's quite a bold statement for a DSC
The car definitely looks better the the 996 TT, can't wait to see video reviews of it. Some great read, thanks coochas

^What are you talking about? It is lighter and faster than the old one. Plus it is a bargain compared to the other exotics.
OverBoost @ 20.9 psi

Cheaper yes, but the new Z06 is way cheaper with similar performance...
I don't know i love Porsche, but they just don't get my blood rushing... ... I would have to drive both this and the new z to ultimatly decide which i would take, but off paper value, gimme the Z06
