My current whip:
Aside from the trouble she gives me, it's a pretty fun set of wheels.
This is going to sound bad, but one of my favorite things to do is go off the traffic light at an average pace, granny shifting at like 2200 rpms, then if some punk kid in some riced out POS tried to pass me, I'd just downshift, because around like 4,000rpm the VQ30 is just an absolute torque freak.
She's not that fast compared to real 'sports cars' like the two Nissan Zs above me, but compared to any other sedan or non-"sports car", she's really fast. The Max will outrun my dad's 2005 Mazda6 V6 automatic.
People at my high school were like "WOW a stick maxima?!" because it was faster than their newer Altimas and Camrys and Hondas and whatnot.

This might be faster, and it sure has a lot more room!
I passed a bunch of 911's at the track... and I don't think the 911 will ford a 27" deep stream either...

Sure, but this things can't be measured in numbers.
The amount of skin that gets freeze* when driving both cars can be very different, (at least, for me and a bunch of thoroughbred sportcars lovers)
In case of that Furgo-Cargo, 'Cayenne', tends to zero value.
* I don't know if this exactly the correct expression in english... sorry.

Ahh, now it makes sense. I can tell you I get goose bumps every time I hear the biturbo V8 at redline, as everything rushes by. (0-100kph in about 5 sec.) I got goosebumps when I was passing all those 911s as I rounded the corner at 226kph! But I do understand. The 911 throws around a corner much easier than the Turbo Cayenne.
The 911 you commented on is indeed a beautiful car! Frankly most all of the of the cars pictured here are beautiful autos. We are all so fortunate to have something more than a roller skate to drive!

Thats amazing, to enjoy the cars with such passion. That's the proper way, I think.
Despite the jokes of my last post, yours is a beast of the road, something brutal, in fact, the most on the planet, and that is a great thing. Congratulations.
In my case, now I looking forward a Lotus Elise.
