AC/DC... nice! Time for some tunes.

You wouldn't believe how hot and humid it is here right now.

Cold beer is going down very nicely.

Drink up!

TrafficBuyers · 02-15-2004, 10:39 PM

Quite good choice. Personally I think with the top down the Cabriolet looks great but with the top up I like the Coupe much more. I was not aware that the Cabriolet lost so much performance till I looked it up.
A standard Coupe Turbo with 415hp does 0-60 in 3.9 Sec

The X-50's
2004 Porsche 911 (twin) Turbo awd (X50) (0-60) 3.7 (1/4 mile 11.86 @ 119.91 Braking 110'

2004 Porsche 911 (twin) Turbo awd (X50) Cabriolet (0-60) 4.06 (1/4 mile 12.31 @ 120.63 Braking 119'

Hey Quite if your looking for the fastest convertible look no further than the new SL600. It does 0-60 in like 3.6 Sec and the 1/4 mile in 11.90 @ 120mph 493hp and 590lb of torque.

But I still like the Porsche more

quiet · 02-15-2004, 10:41 PM

don't know where you got your numbers from, but the sl600 is not even remotely that fast.

plus, it's not a sports car.

http://www.fast-autos.net/mercedes/03mercedessl600.html

sl600 numbers. 4.7 to 60.

It's because of the weight difference. Any convertible loses stability and rigidity because of the lack of roof, so they have to stiffen up the body and add heavy bracing to compensate. In any case where there is a coupe and a convertible version of the same car, the convertible will be heavier.

TrafficBuyers · 02-15-2004, 10:53 PM

Hello fuzebox ,

I am totally aware of that I was just surprised it lost that much performance. :-)

BTW that Car & Driver is tested by them up against other cars that did 0-60 in 4.5 and blew them away.

Pipecrew · 02-15-2004, 11:13 PM

I thought I was cool when I bought the 911 a month ago. Then after driving around miami for 3 days, Porsches of all kinds are a dime a dozen down here.. Hell Ferrari's dont even turn heads, Only Lambo's and Bentleys!

i am fucking jealous, I've been looking for a high end sports car for some time now that I can fit into. A real one too, not one of your make believe cars.

Am I jealous that quiet can buy several - hell no, I'm HAPPY for him.

i'm leaning towards a rebuilt old classic car for myself though - they were usually bigger.

i LOVE the paint on your car quiet - I had a 4X4 truck with a similar color.

If you read Motor Trend or Road and Track..... most test driver of Sleazy's height will complain that it is not comfortable.

Remember Sleazy is 6'4".... regardless of weight that height would make for a tight fit in most high end sports cars.

I have a Car and Driver mag where they review the Lamborghini Countach and one of the test drivers was 6'2". He said he felt like he was being wedged into the car like a sardine into a can.

Difference is your money is in CAD and in Canadian real estate, which is smart. Anyone who suggests putting any money in the US real estate markets right now would be the biggest dipshit on GFY this month.

As for the car. I like your choice, but I would seriously consider something a little more exotic. I love the Porsches, and would own another one, but there are some hot limited models coming out of Detroit over the next 6 months. I am not comparing US iron to anything coming out of Germany, but these are some choice rides. High on my list right now is the Ford GT or Cadillac's V12 if it ever hits the market.

As for the people suggesting ways to save money by buying inferior models. You just don't understand. This is not about saving money, this is about having superior machinery and engineering.

Go for the TURBO. When the boost kicks in, hold on. Porsche made my 1993TT so that you can very easily remap the cpu and change the turbos for 500hp.

ALMOST FAMOUS

I think it's quite distasteful that Porsche would choose to name one of their cars after the World Trade Center disaster.
