This is a stunning car that's probably worth every penny of its ridiculously high price. But note what the reviewer called "The mildly flamboyant fixed rear wing." And people complain about the size and orientation of the SRT-6's nicely sculpted tail?

doubt it was a 2008, but did see a brand new GT2 on the west side of town here in AZ. I've seen the evoms 911's and this think looked stock, mean, and ready. Was a husband wife cruising on the 101 from Bell Rd. It's a little early for the ball players to hit the streets. Was absolutely beautiful. Usually in a month or so, ferraris, and lambos, are pretty common around the ball parks.

I would rather have the SRT6 and swap in a 6 speed trans myself, save the rest of the $170k left over and buy me a nice condo, and a little cessna.

That wing/spoiler is hideous IMO. I think there are some Cavaliers/Eclipses running around with the same ones -

Only Porsche I've ever driven was the VP's GT3 before he traded it in. He let us beat on it a little. Never been thrown back in the seat like that before. Wasn't too impressed with the interior. But watching that needle fly around.....

I'd keep the SRT6 Coupe and put the rest in the bank. $197K is just the begining. Insurance, license and upkeep could bankrupt all but the very rich. Nice car but I am happy, besides I have had more than one person ask "...is that a new Porsche?..." when viewed from the rear. LOL

Same here, particularly with debadging. Only our rear wing is a lot prettier with its matching ridges and its body contours, too....

Better make that a used Cessna since the cheapest new one costs more than $170K.
