I have actually only driven a Porsche once and I admit they will move and handles real well but I am pretty large and I thought I never was going to be able to pry myself out of it once I squeezed into it. Man that thing set so low to the ground I thought I was going to bottom out. It's not something I would want to drive every day myself.

Would you have rather that it felt like a Jetta?
Alright, not really, because it was still the coolest car I've ever driven (I love Porsche's, something about the body shape and style of that car...) but it felt really strange because it was auto. I'm sure I'll get to drive one in manual eventually, and I'll probably stall. 😛
Originally posted by shortcircuitLambo is pretty cool, but the Shelby sounds amazing.
I have a buddy who drive a Lamborghini and it is unbelievably quick. I drove it once but didn't want to open it up wide in case it got away from me. I have also ridden in a 1970 Shelby that is bad ass. That one is sweet.

But that's not really the news...the news is that it was an automatic. What the hell? An auto on a porsche? (Not the Cayenne, one of the cars) Why would you buy a porsche and throw an automatic transmission on it?
Originally posted by cmsMasterYea it is tight, and low, but I had forgotten what Phlaby was saying about the shifting. I remember that it took me some time to decide if I wanted to shift. I mean it's almost scary on the road the take off it has especially the first time out. I can imagine the auto does set it back some as far as that goes. If I remember right the tires spun on every shift I made and I really wasn't getting on it at all.

Originally posted by cashthetrashI definitely felt the power on it, I was accelerating very slowly and the car seemed really jumpy. Job's good, I don't make as much money as I think I should, but oh well.

Originally posted by RahimKIt's true, almost everybody that buys something like a Porsche in an auto does it so their wife can drive it.

But there's a reason Porsche's should be manual and women are bad with manuals...

I'm not about to brag about driving a souped up Acura or hot rodding around in a tricked out Scion. I like the cars you could open the hood and fix with a bit of tape and a wrench.
P-
But IDK how much I'd trust fixing a car with tape. 😛
