 It will make the rest of your life in an ordinary car (sorry Audi 
 lovers) mizerable unless you have a HIGHLY modified sport Quattro.
 BTW did I mention that test drive prompted to install a turbo engine 
 in my Coupe!

I had the same problem after back-to-back driving an M5 and M6 last week.
 After a tempting taste of those beasts, jumping back into my GTi was like
jumping out of a formula one car into a go-cart.  Now I can only imagine
about the Porsche....listed 60 time is 4 secs, 1.3 faster to 60 than the M5.
 Ouch.  I believe at that rate of speed, one's vision would blur.  On a side
note, there was a man at a recent Porsche event at Limerock who was let out
on the track alone.  Don't ask me how.  He was a horrible driver, way off
line and I think he spun once....but he turned 58 second laps.  All car.  For
comparison, I have Kermit Upton in the SUPERCAR M3 on tape, turning just
under 1 minute laps in testing.  That was a cool sight!  Enough chatter,
though...
Later!
