Huh? WTF is it then? It's one of the best-handling sports cars out there...in fact, the 2-door "Cayman" which will be based on the Boxster platform will be the eventual replacement for the 911

Sluggish, overpriced, ugly rear end.

So I take it you've throughly driven the car in order to come up with an accurate appraisal of it's qualities right?

As much as NFS4. Sorry, but when it's 0-60 time is nearing that of a stock Accord I don't call it a "serious-minded driving machine." I call it a midlife crisis machine.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. You crack me up. A guess a Mazda Miata must be a piece of isht to you then

And not a damn one of those things have anything to do with "serious-minded driving machine."

As for it being "sluggish", a base Boxster goes 0-60 in about 5.7 seconds. An "S" does it in around 5.0-5.2 seconds. And it's one of the best handling cars out there. So again, your point is?

So if I take a McLaren F1 and drop a 1600cc VW engine in it, it's still a "serious-minded driving machine?"

id say so. it would still outhandle and out class any vehicle on the road. (barring they rebalanced the vehicle).

Yeah, considering my right foot won't fit under the stearing wheel.

Then it seems I'm talking to irrational people and will exit the thread now.

*jaw drops*
*cries*

No need to cry. That bitch is off the hook:

Porsche Cayman

engine in the middle != 911

You're right. It's not a 911. It's a Cayman

There's only so much that Porsche can do with the rear-engined 911 and they know this. That's why the Carrera GT is mid-engined and it's 4-door sedan will be front-engined. The Cayman will have to carry the torch for the 911 past 2010

first, porsches known by names (especially stupid ones) instead of numbers are just wrong to begin with.
second, a 911 with the engine somewhere other than behind the axle is not a 911. the end of a legend is what happens when you move that engine forward. hell, if porsche doesn't have a 911, or the 911 moves to mid engine, we might as well all start driving toyota echoes because there will not be any joy left in driving.

Did you not read a word I said? It won't be called the 911. It will be called the Cayman

You know how the 911 replaced the 356? People bitched to high heaven about that (although it was a little more easy to swallow as the 911 was still rear-engined). And if you recall, the 928 was supposed to replace the 911.

did you read what i said? i've bolded the relevant parts to make it easier to find.

anyway, i feel completely defeated by that news. i might just go drink myself into a stupor.
