    Meh, the whole premise is ridiculous. New York has a spousal right of election. :/

    Seriously though, it's a very nicely done short, and I'm impressed that they were able to get such a great lineup of cars and match them so well to the characters. Seems like someone involved in this production knew where to find some well heeled friends, and in exchange for letting them borrow their cars, promised to write them in to the script. #nissangtr

    I'd naturally assume that the GT-R can beat a 9 year old 911 with less power and a Morgan with cross eyes and a Geländewagen of all things. #nissangtr

    man, that thing is nice! homeboy looks like he could use the flappy paddle gearbox though, it look like he just couldn't shift it fast enough and when he took his hand off the wheel to shift it looked like he was going to ditch it.

    i absolutely loved the whine of the turbo on the track car... that should be a question of the day, what sound better a turbo or a supercharger? #porsche911gt3rs

    @B1663R: GT3s have never had turbos. GT2s and Turbos (obviously) are turbocharged, but GT3s and GT3 RSs have always just been naturally aspirated, which makes them that much more impressive.

    The noise sounded like straight cut gears to me. Bonus video of a crazy-ass E36 racecar to show you what I'm talking about:

    @Leeeeena the Jalopchick: i coulda sworn that i heard a distinct turbo whine and a blow off... after reviewing the footage that you attached and my dog looking at me funny i would have to say the transmission is making that sound.

    in the Porsche vid when he is on the track, it just sounded so turboish, i thought that the racing team added a little somethin' somthin' to give her a bit of a boost.

    it takes a big man to admit when he's wrong... lucky for me i am not a big man. #porsche911gt3rs

Problem is, they saw the gaudy and raised it to a whole new level. If I wanted to know what it was, I would look at a tastefully understated badge on the trunk. Money could be a lot better spent not making it look like a day-glo clown car. #porsche911gt3rs

    I live in San Francisco, and walk to work each day and bought a car just for driving for fun on the weekends. And camping. And buying groceries. But you get my point. Plus, considering I may never be able to afford a house/condo in the city, I figured what the hell, I'd buy the Veyron and street park it.

    Right. Most people's commutes suck. You can hardly call it driving.

    And it's also true that there aren't that many places in the country with the density to justify mass transit, or the economy to support that investment, or the political will to create routes in developed areas and go through the pain of building transit lines.

    Which means that people who have the talent and income to choose where they live, will continue to make quality of life decisions, where a short, pleasant commute might figure quite highly. And it means that communities that can't supply better commuting options will stop attracting the more profitable and dynamic residents and businesses, and enter downward death spirals as dropping population and declining investment removes the resources to improve life and transit options. #porsche911
