I remember seeing that car in the flesh for the first time at the NY auto show. It was a sight to behold. Back then I never thought that some day it could be had for less than I paid for my Boxster S. A guy I know bought one for $27K when the stock market crashed from a guy desperate need of cash.
But the car has far too much understeer after getting used to a nimble, lightweight, midengine rear wheel driver. Cutting power to the rear when it starts to slide, even a little bit, pretty much kills the whole experience. Ditto for the 996 C4. They say you won't find more understeer in any Porsche than those two.
