Nope. Never experienced that. But I'm willing to test that theory if you're willing to donate the Porsche to me.

That looks more like a Carrera C4S with a turbo badge, and car to the left is a older infiniti Q45.

you could ask for no AWD (more weight) and no turbo (lag, torque curve). I would ask for that. Give me a GT3 any day.

I know. The 996 turbo is probably one of the best designed turbo systems in the world at minimizing lag. but it still exists right?

I prefer the 996 TT. I got rid of my S when I bought mine.

S gets more looks I think than the Porsche....I was parked one time in front of a black and tan Carrera S4 with its top down...
So I decided to leave my top down too...figuring that people will most likely bother the Carrera....

Well.....I sat down at a resturant directly across the street from the cars......and to my surprize!!!.......herds of people looking into the S.....

Im sure the Carrera owner was a bit disturbed....lol....
