What an experience to sit in such a luxurious & high performance sports car. Actually the proper term should be supercar, & an everyday one at that. Heard from SZL (only a select few know about what the initials mean) that Porsche makes supercars that can be driven everyday & to almost all locations. We have all heard of how troublesome other supercars like Ferrari & Lamborginis can be when travelling to places like underground carparks, HDB carparks, places with numerous speed bumps amongst other places. While their road handling capabilities are in a class of their own, it is precisely their low ground clearance that make them almost impossible to clear without scraping the undercarriage. Lamborghinis are not that bad as in they can be driven everyday but for Ferraris, their engines will be damanged if subjected to heavy urban driving. What an irony. Paying so much that cannot do what an inexpensive Japanese or Korean car can do.
There goes my dream of owning a Ferrari F430. Looks like I might need to change it into a Raging Bull & forfeit my Prancing Horse. Personally I prefer the Ferrari's design. Oh well. When the time comes to really put pen to paper & splash some cash, I hope the reviews would have gotten a little more positive.
I will add a Porsche into the destiny list when I find out more about the cars. As they say, owners knows best as to which cars can be recommended to prospective buyers. In the meantime, the seats are superb in cocooning you into a nice tight (a little too tight in my case) fit while you negotiate those corners. The layout is sensible, with the most often used controls a short reach away. The exhuast note is simply amazing. It would definitely turns heads wherever you go, & attract the attention of the fairer sex (though this might not be so applicable in today's modern era).
Ja neh!!!
