D'oh! Missed the part about the 16year old inheriting this. May be a good call with the 1.6 Maybe you can buy someone's hand me down ST suspension bits. Father son upgrade project!

Talking about small cars my mazda 2 is much better behind the wheel than a fiesta or a fit. Mazda really dialed the steering input.

Agreed. Mazda chassis tuning is beyond their competitors at the same price points, and they are typically reliable with cheap maintenance.

Modified my Rabbit GTI this week and it looks like I'll be taking the bus to work tomorrow!
Damn I am really happy with my first VW and I am really happy with its new Michelin PS4s! Anywhere from one to ten inches of snow tomorrow. Sigh....
Summer tires are the first and probably best mod I could ever have done to my GTI, but no winter tires until next November, please.
I spent the afternoon driving my friend's new GT3 touring. The only thing I can say is wow. This thing is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The NA 4.0L 500hp 9000rpm redline is to die for and sounds like nothing else. The manual sport 6S gear box is another incredible piece, so much better than the 7S 911T that I tried. Anyway, this thing blew my mind.

I do not see how any car can be much better. In fact my buddy went from 991.1 GT3 PDK to a 12 cylinder Ferrari back to this car. This GT3 is way too much car for any open road actually. The sound of this thing above 5000rpm is insane. I've been searching for one but the prices are not quite in check with dealers asking anywhere from $15K to $50K over MSRP.....
I love the touring look. Most people see it as a "basic" 911. I cannot see myself driving around with a GT3 with the wing, but I can definitely see myself driving around i one of these. Still wowed from the drive yesterday. Too bad that getting one is quite hard and there is no way I will ever pay over MSRP for any car.
Oh and the one I drove was ordered with sofa seats instead of full carbon buckets. Makes more sense for a touring. The full buckets I sat on at the dealer are pretty hard to get in and out of. This car had them so I got to sit in there for a while.
The GT3 touring is the one I'd want, if it was realistic to want one.
I am having a hard time getting this car out of my head !
Lionel - 991.2 GT3 prices have dropped to near or at MRSP in the last few months in many parts of the country. Touring a little higher, but there are better deals out there than the $15 - 50k over that you mentioned. Caveat is that these are for prices on existing car spec'd by dealer, not order slots, which are all gone at this point. There's a gorgeous winged chalk (crayon) at my dealer asking 5k over to start. The itch is strong.
