It's supposed to say "Satan's 435hp sleigh"

+1 on the GT2, though. That thing is a monster. I wish more people knew of/about it.

It's like the most focused driver's car in the world and yet still easy as pie to manage, and he'll complain it is devoid of passion/40 years old/not as fast as one or more Ferraris (even though it costs less).
devoid of Passion? It has 114hp/liter!
The man is entertaining, but at some point, you start to lose credibility when you just won't be open to change...

"The 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 comes standard with POMAS (Porsche Organic Mass Analysis System). POMAS analyzes the relative mass, density and physical proportions of all on board occupants and then tests them against a standardized and approved set of Porsche vehicle dynamic specifications. If at any time during the course of a journey an occupant's mass within the vehicle is deemed by POMAS to unduly affect the dynamic capabilities of the car, POMAS will active a series of systems designed to reallocate all living organic materials within the vehicle. These systems, include, but are not limited to: super-heated seats and climate control system to displace bodily liquids from passengers for better weight distribution and ejector seats that will completely rid the 911 GT3 of any passenger deemed to be 'wholly physically detrimental' to the character of the vehicle."
POMAS. It's the future.

And if that's still not fast enough for you, there's always the Porsche tuners who will gladly take your money in exchange for larger turbochargers.

I live in LA, so maybe the world is different here but who are these 'snooty Prius drivers'? I haven't seen anyone in a hybrid calling out Porsche drivers. When I was pushing my V8 4Runner, no one yelled at me and pointed to their hybrid badge and expected me to feel shame. No one ever yelled at my friend's funky old Lincoln that leaked more gas than the Prius burns. Where is this supposed snootiness and condemnation? If you have a friend with a Prius that annoys you, maybe your friend is just an a-hole.
The answer is that the snootiness and condescension is all imagined in the minds of the 'car guys.' Yo, piston heads, the only person 'shaming' you is you. Stop playing the victim and enjoy your damn car.
It reminds me of when cell phones first started showing up outside the 'phone in a briefcase' lawyers and drug dealers demographic. Regular people (and highlarious stand-up comics) would go on angrily about "Who does that guy in the Dodge Colt think he IS, with a cell phone?!? Who is he calling?" Like the cell phone possession and usage of another person was somehow an indictment of the viewer. Guess what? It wasn't.
Another person driving a Prius makes ZERO comment on you and your life, Mr. Pistonhead. Get over yourselves! Other people's car choices do NOT revolve around you. They chose the Prius because they wanted to drive it, not because they wanted to make some random stranger feel bad.
