Porsche HO'd by a bird

[Iceman24]

the bird should have hit the "K" key to help bring his nose up and slow down to get out of compression lock.... Looks like he should have started his Immel a little sooner

The Porsche isn't a POS, it's a fine car.  It's just not the end-all supermegasexmachine pop culture used to say it was.

I gaurantee you will get more tail driving a low model, cheaper porsche than you would say a chevy pickup or something like that... I need to take some pics of my 68 Camero and put em on here... chicks still dig cars

Porsche makes 1 of the fastest production cars in the world, they currently have the 6th fastest production car in the world in the 2004 carrerra II. See the following link for the rest of the results. Not to mention they make a GT2 that you can order for a little under $ 185,000.00 But if you buy that you will have a car capable of doing over 195 mph, 0-60 in under 4.0 seconds... Porsche also makes a 959 model that is illegal in the US at the moment, its AWD, 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, and tops at about 205mph... I don't think I would call those. The Carrera GT model also has the fastest times on the Nurburgring super track in Germany, which in itself is a great automotive feat to accomplish... I wouldn't call them  POS's

And all of them looks as if a 5 year old on acid was allowed to design them.
I can build a rail job if I want to bust 200 hundred, but I wouldn`t want to be seen driving it down the street.

The Porche Boxter or perhaps the Beetle.

Some people like the way they look others hate them, but the one thing everybody agrees on is that they are freaking geniuses in engineering. Ever since Porsche 1st started selling cars, they have been a leader in design, engineering, and performance. There is not another production car company in the world that can even come close to the innovations and technology that those guys bring to the table... Do some research on there cars, and not just the newer ones, look back in the 70's and 80's when they reinvented the the turbo charger. And I think there success in le mans racing and can am racing. Let me quote this from the following link as well , "1975 Mark Donohue sets a new closed course speed record at Talladega: 221.120 mph in a turbo-intercooled 917/30."  221mph in 1975 !!!!   thats freakin incredible, nascars and formula 1's could barely hit 175-180 then.

Shame with all that they couldn`t make the appearance look a little better. Maybe at least where you wouldn`t be ashamed to be seen in one unlees is was real dark in a bad storm if you are a guy.

[Iceman24]

well the ford GT's are an unbelievable car, but they only topped the race scene for a few years, until porsche made better upgraded.. all in all if it weren't for porsche, we wouldn't have 1/2 the technology about tuning and beefing a 6 cylinder to produce over 400 hp

[Pooface]
