You sure about that, Jimbo? Ya ever heard of those eye-talians, drive them Fezzas? 'Parently they pretty good in that Formula One thing....And they still race! Unlike Porsche, which took a few years off to [ahem] make an SUV....

Opposite.keyless entry codes are Not that hard to crack.(maybe to you and I).but I watched some programs on it and some dudes got what they need to catch the code,then hit the Start button.im not saying its as common as a regular slim-Jim jacker,much more rare..but does happen.
(oh,and a friend found someone who gets real pricey 'tools' to take almost any high end luxury car..Has a ferrari/bmw/porsche starter,and plenty of other things..charges from 5,000-15,000 for this stuff.Im serious)I used to think those scenes in 'gone in 60secs' were bs,but this stuff really sells on the underground.Its crazy

To be the best you need to beat the best. I dont think porsche has ever won a F1 title. Ferrari racked in 5 in a row in the past few years. Heck even our lowly Hondas use to dominate in the early 80's and early 90's. Porsche might have the richest GT racing heritage but i could be wrong.
Porsche has won Le Mans 16 times since 1970. Ferrari has won it 9 times since 1949. Ferrari's F1 dominance in the last half decade pales in comparison to the what the 917s and 956s did in the '70s and '80s. The 911 has more or less dominated GT racing since 1964. Including all forms of racing, Porsche has the most of just about everything.

By the way, have you ever seen this kind of theft take place personally? I'm a little skeptical. High-end luxury vehicles are infinitely easier to track down as well, I'm sure that alone will prevent most car thieves from even thinking about it.

Regardless, the ignition keyhole needs to be moved or at least illuminated.

For me, I'm not sure illuminating the ignition keyhole would make much difference. The way I sit the car and where my leg winds up near the steering wheel, I've got to bend way over to the right to see the keyhole anyway. I've gotten familiar enough with the car by now that I find the keyhole automatically. Illuminating it would only light up the inside of my leg when it's dark enough to see it.

I've read (from s2ki actually) that the button is on the left so that when you actually stall the car, you can start the car and put it into first all in one fell swoop and be on your way quicker. I guess it's not much use on the street, but i'm guessing you'd want to get moving as fast as you could if you're on a track where other cars could run into you.
