I wouldn't want to spend several hours at a time in most any super car or race car. They aren't built to be comfortable. Is this really a criticism?
A Viper is much more uncomfortable and Hot inside the cabin. It's like driving a fricking oven. People spending $200k refuse to put up with that shite.

Well, when your entire country is the size of one of our states, driving a slalom is important.
Fortunately, things in the US aren't tiny, like in Europe.

Thanks for the tip.

The sound is awesome, that's one of the main reasons I bought it.
Jaguar service has been excellent as well.
You got an F Type? I really like the look of the coupe. Thinking about that one a lot.

RE:Cayman S
Porsche refused to put the 3.8 in the Cayman until just this year with the release of the GT4. Now if they'd just put the damned twin turbos on it that thing would be ridiculous. However, there is no way Porsche builds a car that will outperform the flagship 911 Turbo in any aspect.

Um no.
Is he opposed to the influence we exert over the british? Yes.
Has he slowly come to realize his country has shed too many freedoms and we are less of a police state than his native britain? Yes.
The corvette hasn't been beautiful in years. Its performance in the curvy bits has always been lacking. The sooner they completely revaluate the suspension and gratuitous use of plastic the better the world will be.

GM used to protect the Corvette like Porsche protects the 911, but not anymore.

Good luck getting a GT4. I think total production will be like 5-600. A friend on the wait list told me New Orleans is getting 2 this year and BR 0

I'd take the Turbo S anyway. More comforts, less money.

I wasn't either until I saw the Audi in white and I was immediately sold. That white F Type in the commercial looks fantastic.
Which trim and engine did you get?

I'm normally a black paint guy too but an Audi R8 in white with the carbon fiber panels is pretty hard to beat.

To each thier own, just never understood the white car fascination.

The gt4 is the cayman with a lot of 911 gt3 parts. $100k msrp pretty loaded. Maybe you are thinking GT2 or GT3 RS?

I've been in plenty super cars. Acting like they are comfortable is laughable. That is not what they are designed for. Saying a car that performs like the ACR does in uncomfortable completely misses the point. Would you care to take a shot at its fuel mileage while and lack of cargo space as well?

Just clarify, that's one of the very few cars I like in white. Sometimes the really nice lines of a car get lost in the black paint.

Who said comfort is what they are about?
The ACR rides like a empty dump truck compared to the Lambo, the difference is night and day. I can drive this car every day, couldn't do that with the Viper.

Ah, I assumed it was akin to the GT3 RS. Strip it and charge more.
