Oh icic, thought all those P-cars were you guys...haha!
Well the 997 Turbo is unbelieveable fast but I was not too impressed with the body or lines of the car. I think if you had to pick an all around capable car that can hit triple digit speeds, have 2 back seats and keep the price tag "reasonable" you'll never find a nicer car. The handlying is razor sharp and turn-in response is fast. The first 3 gears will come up on redline so fast that the thrust just puts you in the seat. It's pull in 3rd gear is unreal - there is an endless supply of power until you back off the gas. I drove the car with the overboost function and it will shame a Gallardo I think.
Just last weekend I drove the F430 and Gallardo back to back and I can honestly say the P-car is easily as fast. Only difference is the engine noise - the exotics definitely have a sound all their own. The Ferrari is a high pitched shrill sound while the V10 Gallardo growls like a mean bull charging towards you.
I have some pics here - wrote a review elsewhere....I can try to find it.
