This is where the new GT3 performance dissapoints - It is not THAT much better than the 996GT3.





Exactly! Though I am not sure it HAS to be. Remember, we saw something special in 1997/98 -- something not seen since 1963/64.

And, yes, I too think the cars are too damned heavy. I know Porsche sweats the details, and that it's under enormous pressure from consumers to add more equipment, but our world needs a Porsche that takes the lead on lightweight, enviromentally sound luxury and sports cars. Let AMG continue in its horsepower war with itself....

After the 6,000-pound Cayenne, how about a 3800-4200-pound Panamera?

And forget more power, let's start dropping pounds with each new model. Real weight (25-75 pounds), every time.
