Think you could do this with a Porsche?


I haven't a clue and have no desire to find out.

Based on specs and the results of testing, a Porsche like mine (911 twin
turbo)
is faster and has much better handling characteristics than a factory
'Vette. The 911 also has four wheel drive which was really made necessary
with the twin turbo and added horsepower. Mine is rated at 420 hp. The
new, 2008 911 twin turbo is rated at 530 hp. I can't even begin to imagine
that, but then again I drive the Porsche like an old lady going to church.
Well .... most of the time anyway.

BTW .... the Porsche with 420 hp and a 6 speed manual transmission, driving
normally or even semi-aggressively averages between 19 and 20 mpg.
