Porsche's are not boulevard stop light racers, people who rate cars based on 0-60 are limiting their interpretation of the vehicle. Face it your "volvo" is toast after sixty. I like the Elise but I hear it requires a Yogi master to assist in the entry exit of the vehicle, no thanks. Not to mention the Elise looks like a praying mantis with the "toss another set of vents in" styling cues. The new Lotus Evora looks a lot cooler but the Cayman crushed it in a side by side and costs more than 10k less.

PS My pal's worked, old school, GTO was a rocketship off the line, I don't see it setting any Nuremberg ring times of note. As Alfa used to advertise, "It's not how fast you go, it's how you go fast".
