The replacement

[Perfectlap]

at the local autocross/track clubs (we have many here in North Jersey: PCA, BMW, SCCA, NASA, etc.) having a Porsche is nothing because people get so used to seeing so many of them. Even I have become a bit unimpressed at seeing a $100K 911 Turbo parked next to me at an event.

Outside of this circle of sportscar people its whole different story. I rarely sit at a red light without people examining the car and making many many comments. Some even while driving. But it makes sense the other night at was at night life spot and the parking lot was full of expensive cars. I said to one of my friends
"I bet you I have the only Porsche in the lot" we looked and saw only Mercs and BMWs, a few Jags but not one other Pcar. When you think about it, aside from your racing friends how many other people do you know who own a Porsche?
I know 3, all are over 50 and mega rich.

hats off to Porsche for building a $50k car that looks like it cost allot more.
