The Enzo and Maclaren (which is not in production anymore) will own the Porsche GT on a track.? Off the track, I've always leaned towards the Vanquish (actually driven one and hands down, it's the ultimate compromise between performance and luxury).

A CGT will own an enzo on the track. And the Mclaren, while having sheer speed, has the body roll of a minivan.

The body roll of a minivan!?!? Quite a statement considering one Spanish driver from the LeMans circuit (forget his name right now) upon test driving the Mclaren was so amazed, he stated that under the right conditions, he would've been able to win a few races with the car bone stock!!!

As a second car, sure. As a daily driver, ridiculous. Only balding guys going through a serious mid-life crisis drive an itty-bitty sports car to work every day.

Spot on , i live near Brecon so i have some good roads to rip around.

Two of the chaps who came along to that little meet were both ex Porsche owners who needed more space and wanted to keep similar performance. They are both currently driving new M3's

What's the difference between a porcupine and a Porsche? With a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.

F*** that guy. How can you compare a sport sedan and a thoroughberd sports car?

Oh, Oh, Oh... I'm divorcing my wife because she doesn't speak English well... Well, maybe its because she's from Italy!, you prick!

Good riddens... Let's get back to help eaching other and enjoying E60 owners company.

I disagree. I initially thought he was trolling but he registered back in January and his other posts deal with legitimate topics that he would experience as an E60 owner.

If he's happy with the Porsche, great. It's clearly not an apples to apples comparison...

(Also, unless he's reading these posts as a guest, as of right now he hasn't logged back into the site since a few minutes after he posted this topic. I say ignore him now -- he's happy with his new car -- why should we even bother responding?)

Jeez . . . don't dis the 911. I'd never trade my 911 for a 6. I'd never trade my 911 for a 5. And I'd never trade my 5 for my 911.

They're all very different cars. It's like arguing about trading a 5 for an SUV. You may do it for life-style reasons, but no one cross-shops 5s and Explorers. And no one cross-shops 5s and 911s.
