that911 asked: The DBS was very impressive, but not very fast. I drove an e46 M3 that was built to my specs (my friends car) and was about 2 seconds quick in that. The power and stability of the AM was amazing though. It was very confidence inspiring and felt like it had grip for days. You could definitely feel the weight.

“I’m not a 20-year old kid anymore. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and what I saw when they wheeled Dan into that medical unit is something I’ll never forget. I saw him dying in front of my eyes, and that memory is...

From the Mailbag
I borrowed a 911 once during fun runs at an autocross. I drove it, but was very slow. Frankly I was intimidated by the $$$ and the knowledge that I could never afford to fix it if something went wrong, and as a result, I was even slower than my normally slow self. Immediately afterwards, I drove my Geo and had a faster lap time.
Facepalm.
Hey, if you can’t afford to crumple it up in a...
