Porsche 997 Turbo spied!
I received this from my local PCA chapter.

"These pictures were taken by Jason at the foot of Mulholland Hwy just off
PCH at Leo Carillo State Beach. According to Jason, there were seven Turbos being road tested. Each was loaded with computer gear. The rear car appeared to be U.S. spec model with ceramic brakes, while the lead vehicle seemed to be an EU version. The drivers were not thrilled that the cars were being photographed and after Jason took these photos he was told to stop. The drivers initially denied that these were 997 Turbos, but when pressed admitted that they were. The purpose of the test run was to monitor performance on CA 91 octane gasoline. Note the apparent style change in the rear quarter panel."

So how the hell does one get such a fun job like that. I am so jealous.

Hell, I would test drive Kia's all day if they paid me enough

Remember that 4.8is video where a bunch of tech eggheads got to go out and rip around a track in 4.8's? In the words of Joe Dirté, "DANG!". Hey Chris, I know what job you really want. It's the same one I want.
