I love the Alfa taillights! Nice choice, Porsche.

Those are some ragged out beasts. I wonder if they sell one to me for cheap!!!

My uncle is looking in to getting one, unless they keep increasing the price. I think it would be a good excuse to pay him a visit on the left coast

If that is rice then I just converted

I remember reading the specs on that in C&D. They said it was suppose to tip the scale at 2300lbs, 500+hp, and 8K rev limit.

This is Porsche's entry back into GTS/endurance racing. No doubt about it.

This is the spec I find most amusing. I wonder if they are using variable lift to achieve these figures. Either way, I bet the head work will give the F20 a run for its money on a Flowbench... or maybe not.
