The new Carrera GT......your opinion?

Talk about impressive.........the new Carrera GT is the most badass Porsche ever built, with a carbon fiber honeycomb composite monocoque structure, single lug wheels, brakes bigger than the rims on ricers, a rear suspension setup identical to that of a Le Mans racer, and a Porsche V10 that redlines at 8400 rpms and outputs 605 hp, they are nearly unbeatable on the track (mostly because they are a street legal Le Mans car)....and listen to this thing rev!

That is a pretty sick car! If I had a few spare dollars, I'm sure I'd buy it.

As much as your comment makes me laugh, I'd probably end up fucking the other tailpipe right along with you.

The line to clobber this guy with a 2x4 starts behind me. That is a beautiful machine. The engine compartment is breathtaking.

pretty sad if everyone had the same taste. glad you guys are open minded
i just think there are nicer cars out there for that amount of money. and if ya look at the porsche 959 that was built a long time ago the performance of this porsche isn't much better.
i assune most people here are pretty young so if you get a little older and grow up i will be happy to reply.

Start it up, stall it, then embarass yourself when, after a dozen tries, you still can't get it into first gear without burning the tires. Take a corner too fast, hit a bump, and simultaneously experience the performance with no stability control and scrape the perfectly flat, carbon-fiber bottom. Then, shift from 5th to 2nd instead of to 4th, and almost blow the engine. Finally, turn the key, and instead of the typical half-second when the engine calms down, there is nothing; the internals are so light that the crankshaft practically freezes in place.

That's some of the more memorable points of C&D's article.

sure
like for excample 0 - 60 the gt can do it in 3.4 seconds
the 959 that was built is able to do 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. and that was in the 80's.
so after almost 20 years of development you really don't get that much more. and the styling of the 959 was just amazing. like i said the gt is not very pretty. i like the front but the back looks not very nice. and i understand if people like the car just not my cup of tea!

I figured you were just thinking 0-60 times when you made that comment. Firstly, 0-60 is hardly a true measure of any car's performance, especially a P-car. Second, when we're talking 0-60 in 3.x seconds, the biggest factor here is traction. It doesn't matter if it's 20 years later, you can only get so much power to the ground on street tires with a sports car suspension.

even top speed
gt = 205 mph
959 = 196 mph
too bad there aren't any lap times we can compare.

You may argue that these aren't significant advances. That's fine, but the Carrera GT is street legal. The 959 wasn't in the U.S.
