You're a turbo groupie Tim [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img].

The GT3 is a flat 6 3.6 WITHOUT turbos [img]images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]and this reaches 100MPH in 9.2S. The turbo version does 100 in 10S. I think I'd describe the GT3 as having balls somewhere in the rev range if not at 1500RPM.

The M3 Tim, you know, the car you love to hate [img]images/graemlins/biggrin2.gif[/img](perhaps not as much as the Porsche though) reaches 100 in 12.3S. [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] The RS4 (TWIN TURBO [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) reaches 100 in 12.1S. So you have to rev it to 8000RPM - so what? That's half the fun [img]images/graemlins/033102ass_1_prv.gif[/img]

Well I love being blown by twins [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

We could go on all night here Ian... I never mentioned the M3, which actually, having driven a couple of I like. Like the sound of the GT3 too, but compared to standard 996 this has substantial internal mods to the engine, and serves only to highlight the insipid nature of the Carrera.

Its been a while since my RS took as long as 12 secs to get to 100, and if we are tossing balls around I'll take a GT2 [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]
