    Porsches come de-tuned as it is because of the fact that a lot of people buy porsches and fuck up cuz they think they can drive like a pro just cuz they own a porsche. Also means that the Carrera GT is also de-tuned. Porsches are a little more difficult to drive because most people dont know what its like to drive a mid or rear engine car....weight shift is different and if u dont know what to do when u slip out a little....it can be disasterous. But yea....id choose the Carrera GT over ANY car out there...i love porsches

    I agree. I've driven many porsches and the 911 is one of my favorite cars ever. After driving my aunt's boyfriends race-prepped 71 Targa and his current 930 Turbo, and feeling that back end start kickin out at the slightest lift of the throttle in the curves (albeit very predictably and controllably), I can't imagine driving a GT, even with my racing instruction and track time.
