Lovin the central exhaust. Porsche is doing some great things with the new 997.

damn this is crazy, the same 6 cylinder engine but now pushing 400hp, that's a lot of power!!!!

and the new turbo with 540hp, if that's true, that's going to be one super insane car can't wait to see one on the road

Who are the Joneses, and why does the world think I need to keep up with them?

Wonder why the bright yellow brakes aren't on the rear.
