  1. Cayenne Turbo. Checks her box, checks the toying box..
  2. He's looking for outright acceleration traction, not cornering grip. The cornering tires have a stiff sidewall and probably won't hook worth a shit. Might be time to get some NT05R's or something at the very least.
  3. Don't think that I'm hating on the Z/28 for one second, I'm thrilled it actually exists. I was just trying that line that anybody else would. Like drag racing 2 Corvettes, one with wider ET Streets and one with the stock goodyear tires. If someone proposed a race with Trofeo R's on the GTR and all seasons on the Z/28 I'd be loling at the comparison as well. We're comparing a car with it's sound deadening ripped out, thinner glass, 1 speaker (yes one speaker radio), no A/C unless optioned, and tires you'd be scared to drive over 40mph in the rain. The GTR has heated seats, backup camera, subwoofers, oh and tires you can drive on the highway when it's raining. And despite all that, the Z/28 lost at everything, except being .28 faster on a road course after the track had tried out a bit?
  4. I'll save Jordan the copy paste: GTR Excuses: GTR went into retard limp mode on 91 octane piss. Z/28 is wearing 305 Square 80TW Trofeo R's GTR is wearing 255/285 200TW OEM Runflats. Let the hate being to flow.
  5. There are some pretty lights, and some tire screeching if I recall.
  6. I'd keep the boxster if only 5k a year. It's obviously not a family/every day vehicle. Seems far more special than a WRX.
  7. I'm boarding group 0 and still haven't gotten anything, hold your horses.
  8. Let me know when you get one for test drives.
  9. I spent a good amount of time on the forums trying to determine if that was the case or not when that car was on the list of next cars. There are aftermarket options which last a bit longer, but overall the clutch lifetime seems relatively short on those cars. Longest I've heard of, babying the car was 25-30k. As someone who puts lots of hard miles on their "fun car" I might actually be looking at a clutch replacement every other year easily, which is just not for me.
  10. Wowzers, very nice Josh. Hope to see it at the track day.
  11. Trying to keep the Barf smiley alive.
