    You think it's a Porsche. After all, it looks like a Porsche. But when you bite into it, instead of caramelly goodness from Stuttgart, you get a mouthful of butter cream from Zwickau.

    There are better uses for chocolate than slathering up a Porsche. Will bacon be next?

    Barring any surface melt this should be a sweet ride. I'm a little bitter about the rococoa styling but I'm sure I'll forget that about it once I give it the beans.

    Rust-MyEnemy realises the lame-itude of his comment, wishes to have it struck from the records. Let's pretend it never happened.

    Dammit! What's the point of a Porsche race car that can't kill you with a flick of the throttle?

    @dragon951: Oddly enough, I haven't managed to spin any of the following: '73 911 Targa, '70 912, god-knows-what-year 356, 1996 Cabrio, or 2007 Carrera. I know only three of those count as 911s, but I pushed 'em pretty hard and didn't manage to get into any trouble. Guess I wasn't pushing hard enough.

    @Leeeeena the Jalopchick: You are clearly, ahem (pardon me), pussy footing it.

    I didn't do a full 360, but was def facing, well, not the right way, after I was bit too liberal with the throttle in a tweaked '86 911. Scariest part - it happened at 40mph. To this day, though, I still dream about driving that car.

    These things make you learn quick, that's for sure.

    EDIT- sorry, typo - it was supposed to be 40mph

    @ThreeLitre: I've slid the back end out a little, but managed to catch it before it turned into an ass-in-front fest. I'd love to take an '80s or '90s 911 to an oversize autocross course and see how well I can hone my skills! I'd feel safer pushing it there than on the Pacific Coast Highway, ya know?

    P.S. Wouldn't that be ridiculously fun? A regular autocross set up with a huge version of the same course set up right next to it that you could take at much higher speeds... less technical, but more demanding of high speed maneuvering skills.

    @leetNightshade: I think that's a large part of why it happened at all. I was totally caught by surprise, and it really did teach me how twitchy those things can be, even at lower speeds. I think if I had done it at even a little bit faster speed, I wouldn't be remembering it so fondly.

    @Leeeeena the Jalopchick: That would be pretty sweet. Unfortunately I've heard tell that 911s are about some of the toughest cars to autocross at all because of their ass-engined nature.

    The last autocross I was at was all BMW, and the one car that was friggin awesome to watch was the new 1 series: short wheelbase, good power, rear wheel drive, and balanced. The guy was flying.

    Last year my snowboard went missing from the ski lodge. And now Porsche wants to sell it back to me with squared edges and a race car attached to it.

    Strangely enough I'm cool with that.

    @Turbolence88: I'm pretty sure your snowboard is much, much cheaper than that machine. But then again, those wheelarches add 10 horsepowers each, and shave 5 seconds from the 'Ring time, each.
