The Houses in that picture look like the housing track called
San Simeon in Irvine, My brother almost got a house in that development.

When I get the chance, I will race the Porsche and see how badly he beats me. He has the advantage of 4wd, 415hp, 415 lb/ft torque @ 2700 RPM! but the thing weighs almost 3400 lbs.
Should be a good race after the Greddy TT kit comes out.

He mainly drives a new full-size pickup like a F-150 or Silverado every 3 years or so.

+1. Why pay more to have a heavier, less fun to drive car? Dumbass owner, that's all.

who gives a camels hump wat tranny the dude has...maybe he cant drive a manual...maybe its jus a cruising car...to each their own guys. im a manual owner of the Z myself and yes i do think its better to have a manual porsche turbo and i understand where u guys r coming from...its more fun to drive a manual everybody knos that. auto owners dont take it to the heart...my friend has an auto Z and he wishes he had a manual as well. MANUAL > AUTO....PORSCHE > Z (unless its a boxster)

True. Porsche always conservately estimates their tiptronic variant 0-60 times to generally be 0.1-0.2 seconds faster than the manual transmission variant. As far as handling around the track goes, I think I'd prefer the manual transmission.

Although I have never driven a 911 so I don't think I should form an opinion about them until I do.

Also, did you guys know this thread is from five years ago? Amazing how nice the 996 Turbo still looks.
