I'd still rock it at 0-60 in 3.2 seconds.... I'd love to feel that everytime....

I think the car is beautiful, but like I said before... I don't like the interior, and the steering wheel looks thin, light, and uncomfortable.

I guess Nick Roy has not chimed in yet. This will "razz" him :gay:

I think it's more around 3.6...and it's tough for any car to consistenly run the fastest possible 0-60 even with the best drivers behind the wheel because there are so many things that can change...humidity, temp., traction, weight...and many many more things...;)

Agreed ;)

I must say one thing, though...

Clarkson isn't exactly the biggest Porsche fan...actually, he hates them. It's been known he has hated them for a while...and, well, as all car shows try to be as objective and neutral as possible, we all know that's impossible to do...

Hell, the man destroyed one a few years back!!!

:rofl:

Watching that video made me hate Clarkson...but I popped the new Top Gear on a few minutes later and I loved him again...hahaha.

Regardless - I think we all know the new Turbo is an amazing car, no matter which way you look at it...the styling isn't for everyone, but it is definitely for me and I love it.

Anyway - like I said before - the car is only as good as the driver...;) (and a lot of the time - the other natural elements)

Tiptronic they say is 3.2 and Manual they say is 3.7

Reason: I'm not even going to bother...

Manual is 3.7, tiptronic is probably like 4.2.. Porsche's auto tranny is weak.. FTL!

Not really.. It's just another point of view on the 997 twin turbo...
If its Clarkson reviewing a porsche, I usually won't watch it. He's so critical of Porsche's, for whatever I don't know. I've driven plenty, and haven't found half the sh*t he says to be true...
However, when he's driving an English car, like an Aston Martin for example, he thinks its the best car out. No complaints... :roll:
He's very impartial..

I like watching fifth gear more, that guy is a real driver, unlike Clarkson who is more of a journalist. The fifth gear guy actually talks about the car, and doesn't just make jokes like Clarkson..


that article might just make him :cry: like a :gayflag:
Not really.. Gus and I have discussed this whole porsche thing to death. I totally understand and respect his opinion. I see where it comes from, it's ok. I don't share his opinion, but he can say it all he wants, I understand it.

:cheers: to Gus.

That car is awesome, it's awesome for a modern car. I still love the older porsches for their classic appeal. And f*ck jeremy clarkson he has always been biased against anything german.
