How annoying,
Why do I pay a subscription to Excellence when I don't get it at home before Newstands? Oh well, I am working more late night shifts this weekend and I can read it when I cannot sleep.
Hmmm.... twice the price of a GT3? You guys mean about 214,000 dollars or so? 360HP you say?
I'd rather have the Ruf 3400K. There is a nice write up about the Dentist's light blue metallic Cayman S in the November issue of Excellence. It is a supercharged 3.4 so it has great torque (which our cars frankly lack) down low and pulls strong to the rev limiter. 400bhp at 7,000 RPM and 325 lb-ft of torque at 5500 RPM. It probably does not sound or pull nearly as hard as the GT3 engine at the limit but at 78,100 Euros (with the current exchange rate) $121,590 US sounds like a deal to me. (the Cayman/Coupe version costs nearly 5,000 Euros more).
