Did good old Steve go all the
Did good old Steve go all the way to Stuttgart for this video?
A bit shallow and brief, don't you think?
Peter Cavellini
Well to be honest......!
To be honest, i'd go,because Porsche probably pay his room and board or his Air fare,because, they will want as much Mag coverage for their product,afterall,it's only Germany he's gone too, not Australia!

2.9 or 3.1 0-60 - who's correct?
PistonHeads quotes 3.1 0-60 for the S, as does Evo. Yet, Steve 'Pawshh' Sutcliffe says it's 2.9. Who's correct?

MP4 for me
I would stump up another 30K for a Mclaren. This might have insane capability because of that AWD system but once you are up and going at proper speed the 12C is much more capable, and probably much faster due to dragging 200 KG less. Not to mention "sense of occation".
The GTR is closer to the 911 Turbo than the 911 to the Mclaren.
Much more exclusive too so will hold its value, as much as that is relevant.
