My house is flooded but the Porsche is safe

[Flash68]

I found my 996 Turbo --even heavily modded to 700 crank hp -- to be fairly "unexciting" compared to these muscle cars of ours. It only really stimulated me at 130+ mph...

Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat... Lemon tree very pretty, and lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat...


One day beneath the lemon tree,
My love and I did lie.
A girl so sweet that when she smiled,
The stars rose in the sky.
We passed that summer lost in love,
Beneath the lemon tree.
The music of her laughter,
Hid my father's words from me.





Try getting the words of that song out of your head now for the rest of the day.

Same way I feel about the S63... as powerful as it is... it's crap compared to driving my Nomad. I'm dead serious.

I believe it. Those Germans pretty much make the cars TOO effortless and smooth.

Their build quality is just fantastic though. Gotta give em that.

Your's is pretty.... I love the looks of 'em... but I was looking for something that went like stink and had more doors.

Dang Greg, you're getting picky in yer old age

I like it Charley. And an S as well...not sure what that entails but I like it!

I'm of the opinion (albeit an unexperienced one) that the 911 Turbo is my idea of the ultimate daily driver.

After having two BMW's, I think Audi has it figured out. I found my 550 Sport to be almost numb. When I autocrossed it, I couldn't feel the rear tires spinning or the front tires pushing. Horrible sports car.

My S4 is just right. Comfortable, but not numb. You feel more engaged, much like the Camaro.

This thing has a launch mode that is like a carnival ride. Activate launch mode, step on brakes, floor it, release brakes and you have a traction controlled 530 hp all wheel drive launch. Runs 10.70's -10.90's in the 1/4.

I've been looking at some used S4's actually as my next potential daily driver.. done the BMW thing already too. Haven't driven the new V8 M3 yet tho. I really like the Audi RS4 but even the 5 year old ones still command $40k-ish.

Charley, you know real cars have 3 pedals.
