Damn I wish I had the choice of Porsche or BMW. Lol I already considered myself really lucky that I had the choice between a 10 year old Lexus or a 3 year old BMW. I mean, most kids don't get that kind of choice.......well, some do around here, but most don't.

Alas, that choice went away this past weekend when one of our cars was sold. So I must take the Lexus.......with its soft steering and suspension. :rolleyes:

The CS ain't no 360.. that's like saying the GT3RS is like a regular 997 ;)

But I love this X5!

What do you mean? The X3 was sold?

San trade you a drive next time I am up in the bay area with the GT3.
I have a friend up there who is ordering a 430 and when he gets it I am going to go visit. I love the Stradale and that would be a great addition to the stable.
But having ridden in a CS and driven a 360 those 2 are closer to being the same than a regular 911 and a GT3. They dont even share any motor or tranny parts where a 360 and a CS are more closely related. Having said that the 360 is more car than the regular garden variety 911. Still two of the best pieces of art ever created-CS and GT3/RS. (RS was not available to me in the 996 version in the US.Dangit)

My buddies brother just got rid of his 360 for a 430 and says the difference is night and day. He's a car freak though, being that he used to race Indy cars.

the Manettino makes a huge differece as do the 80hp.. But of course, in terms of visceral, feel and sound, either one of those cars compare to my Challenge Stradale as Kevin, John and Barry probably can attest to.

Yea I understanding your meaning. The Manthey kit differentiates this GT3 from most in the US (I think its the only Manthey in the US) but the CS with the stripe is just a great car! I can hardly wait till my buddy gets his 430 to see/feel the difference.

Didn't realize that was introduced only in the 430. Does the same go for the E-Diff?
