Default Porsche delivery center and track...

Okay, earning back some goodwill after green lighting the Cayenne.* News like this makes me kinda giddy.



Read here:

*And yes, I'm fully aware that they Cayenne is an excellent SUV, fully capable of great things, is Porsche's volume leader, and has since earned them more profit with which to turn and utilize in the development of new technology and bonafide sports cars like all 84 variations of the 911 and that new hybrid thingamagiggy, but still... the Cayenne makes me feel icky. That's just my opinion, so deal with it.

Very cool. I would expect that there will also be PCA HPDE's there too. Time to get in good with some Porsche owners.

Someone has done a bit of misreading.

You forgot about the Cayenne.

for those who bash on it, have never driven one, let alone put one on a race track. It's a truly awesome SUV. Tow your race car to the track, when it breaks... put the Cayenne on track and have just as much fun.

Perhaps fast/fun, but I couldn't get past how much the tires alone were going to cost when I was done

Try pricing the rear tires on a gt3, gt2, turbo, zo6, zr1, viper, ect. And you'll find that they cost just as much if not more, and you'll be replacing them twice as often. I understand that the Cayenne tires are crazy expensive, but they are on anything high-end with large wheels and wide tires.

Heck, the most expensive size only comes in at $1700 for the OE tire on the Cayenne turbo with PCCB.

OE on a GT3, turbo, GT2, and RS versions start at $2000 and goes up from there.
