Maybe we should do a NYC area P-car meet up at some point and try out each other's cars? Me, you, equ....?

If he asks nicely maybe we'll let plaz join with his lowly 1M.
I'd be up for that. Terry as well of course...

I'm overseas until 9/18.

Those are hot. I'm not sure I should be looking at pics like that in a public place.

The poster mentioned frame stiffness and the only reply was "....you said "stiffness".

Thanks for the compliments ... very strange fact ... the R8 looks so big in the pics but the crazy part is the 991 is actually longer.

Having them parked in the garage next to each other I always thought the R8 was longer and lower ... I was only half right (the R8 is lower)

so if you had to choose only one which one would you pick?

The 911 is more nimble, more athletic and overall more of a drivers car. The R8 has an engine that growls, feels VERY planted on the road and looks more bad ass and just gives a feeling like holy shit this car is mine !!

I know this sounds a little crazy but I couldn't just pick one ... they are both really cool cars and I really love them both.
