Dil, Glad to hear you got your car back and hopefully it is running good.

Billy - I will get your car cleaned up with a fresh coat of wax before the pictures.

Everyone - Is anyone up for the auto x this weekend at belle isle? (of course that is weather pending)

Sucks you wrecked it
Is it totalled or just banged up?

I will not bring the G though...my Spec-V will take a turn

I think your spec V will give most of us a run for our money, and will definatly do better than your G.

Are they going to total it?

If so, can I swap out a ripped top for yours? LOL

testing... i can't get this to work in my FS thread...

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S4H8IM1oY4s&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S4H8IM1oY4s&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

edit: i guess it doesn't work here either. Not supported there? Or here?

hit my head pretty hard and then was knocked back once the airbag deployed. had a few cuts and a terrible headache but now its gone.

btw, airbags aren't friendly. Especially to people not wearing a seat belt

Glad your ok dude...
Hell of a hit there.

Caymans are very overpriced for the performance you get out of them
But if you want a Porsche thats the cheap way to get into one.

I think the cayman is the best looking porsche aside from theCarrera GT. I think its pretty reasonably priced since the Carrera GT runs around 350k-1mill!

As far as performance, its better then the stock z. correct me if i'm wrong

Oh ti will outperform a new Z but not by that much surprisingly
Especially the new HR motor cars.

They are very expensive is all I am saying.
Also insurance is a BEAR on those things
My buddy priced one out and got a Z51 Vette instead
It was just too much money for so little car.

the regular cayman non s can't even touch the Z , but then again who pays 65k+ for a cayman s with 290hp , but the car does handle like it's on rail though i'd get a vette hands down , if i was in the market for a new car z06 will be in my garage .

So, did you just wreck the Z on purpose to get something else? or did someone throw a telephone pole at the front of your car?
