I use various gizmos, not to speak about various digital cameras for various occasions. I need that, I love it and I couldn't care less about appearances.
...and the microdrive in my camera didn't work anymore
Obviously various is still not enough...

I took my Canon Powershot S1 IS with me, a camera which has an image stabilizer and is capable of shooting very nice mpeg videos for the internet. Owning 4(!) microdrives and never having a failure since I own them, I really forgot to take a CF card or a spare MD with me. I was soooooooo mad.
A friend had a 128 MB CF card with him but it didn't work, it was a no name card and apparently the speed was not fast enough, the short test video was almost impossible to watch. A lot of picture artifacts and stutter... But I think there is a video from the Nordschleife driving, I'll check on that.

...Come on guys! Do we really need to have endless arguments about who is a better? If you like F then go and buy one, and if you like P then go get one too.
Amen, couldn't say it better!
Both car manufacturers build different cars, let's be happy we can differentiate them from each other!
What would you prefer? That they all look, drive and cost the same??

...Remember F uses numbers that correspond to engine displacement, so the updated car can't be called a 360 with a 4.3 liter engine....hence F430....
Never knew that. Actually learned something from this thread.
To be precise, this is not always the case!
The 355 for example means 3,5 litres, 5 valves per cylinder
The 512 translates to 5 litres, 12 cylinders (same with 308 I suppose?)
There are some cars that have their designation related to cylinder instead of overall displacement!
Greetings!
By the way, Chris I can only congratulate you to your lovely kids!

I also talked to somebody who had recently the chance to actually drive the F430 F1. He was very fascinated by the F430 and he says that this car is "lightyears" ahead from the F360. But it also feels less "connected" to the street, the F360 had more "purity" in it.
funny... i recently talked to someone who test drove the 997 carrera S and he told exactly the same about being less connected to the street. the steering felt remote to him compared to former porsches.

[2. there was a track event on the Nordschleife last weekend where a black 997 Carrera S (same car as mine, 20 mm chassis, PCCB) participated and he made some GT3 and other nice cars...

Why should I sell my 997 Carrera S, a 355 HP car which easily outperforms the F360 on any track
The lap time of F360 is 2 minutes, 7.65 sec
and that of 996TT is 2 minutes, 10.73 sec by IMSA Champion Steve Millen at Thunderhill Park, a fabulous racetrack near Willows, California
Don't get you wrong. I love both Ferrari and Porsche. But don't think 997 C2S is "easily" outperforms F360 in "any" track.

4. the fantastic thing about a Porsche is the fact that you can use it as a daily driver and at the same time on the track too. )
just like a CS! and after all, this is the F forum, RC. we are allowed to like them here
i am glad to hear the 997 is an improvement over the boring GT3

Uhhh, it's gettin' hot in here...
BTW, when you say you can't handle them both at the same time, do you mean woman and car or the "two beautiful women" we were originally talking about?

Do the country a favor, Nick. Stay away.
They already suffered enough during their last civil war.

I know man, it all depends on the track and driver....
But don't try to tell some of the P fanboys on here that lol.

sorry am i reading this right? some of you think a 997s is quicker than a F430?
Nobody said, that, relax.
I just started this somehow "humurous" thread to "repay" Nick for his various visits to the Porsche forums. I'm happy that the Ferrari fans here on this forum understood that very well.
