I was not referring to a video game. My point is a matter of weight distribution. Certain engine drive train layouts are better in a corner than others. So yes I was talking about physics. The Porsche's devotion to the rear engine rear wheel drive concept makes them difficult to control compared to other power train layouts. This is of course a generalization. The Viper needs about as much wing to be stable in the corners, then again the Viper has less tech to help it.

Out of videogames, you won't find a car like that. The laws of physics prohibit it. You can try fast in, spin out; that's the drifter's motto but it ain't fast!

yeah. porsche IS the shit on tracks. but i dont like the sound of a 997 turbo. 996t is better. but the gransport is a league for itself. i like both

Comparing a Porsche to a Maserati is like equating a helicopter to a jet fighter - different leagues !

Slow in, fast out, that's the Porsche motto. Personally I want a car I can drive hard all the way through a corner.

because the stig would lose and topgear cant let that happen. or show it. and i dont think maserati would like its test-drivers being represented as worse than the stig even though they wouldnt be (atleast in their own cars which theyve been driving since day one)

The only manual part of shifting this car is the action of pulling the paddle back. The computer Richard was talking about engages and disengages the clutch.

ye bollux m8, like ur in a fiancial position to know what cars are better. ive driven posches and many many other sports cars, and they are as boring to drive as they are to look at. 1 of the major points of spending for example 70 grand on a car would be that it stands out and is different. Porsche are as common as a dogs muck in a council estate park.all models look pracically the same and i have very much the same belief as jeremy clarkson on them, the laziest styling of any car manufacturer!

Porsche are a little boring if you don't know anything about cars Porsche's are tracks stars

Among car lingo, the presence of a clutch (the actual device, NOT the pedal) determines manualness or not, as opposed to the presence of a torque converter (which makes it an auto). There are torque converter based drag cars you shift manually, and clutch based cars that shift automatically. It's a stupid designation, I agree, but we all agreed upon it a long time ago and now it's just useful to get on the same page.

It is quite a nice car except when compared in terms of power, mpg, speed, handling, price, to the Corvette z06, which isn't exactly ugly. But both>997 Carrera S.

my dad has a gransport and its a gr8 car, for looks, exhaust sound and speed i believe ther is no comptetion compared to a porsche. porsche are far to boring and common these days

IDK what an "auto clutch" is, what im saying is, if it does not have a clutch pedal it is NOT manual despite what manufacturers say. Hamster calls this Maserati a manual, its not.
By: onehundreddollars. on 30 Oct 08, 14:55:26
Those are quite a bit more expensive.
By: ilovealyssa9. on 30 Oct 08, 03:25:18
Well is it an auto clutch? Or does it just electronically shift the gears perfectly every time? Still, a manual is far different then an automatic.

.Looks Very Pricey! lol

@4:36 Why is there a broom on the ground? I mean, other than to make me ask questions.

does any one know the name of the track playing when he is talking about the interior. Strange question I know but it reminds me of something form a horrible 70's Si-Fi movie like Logans Run.
By: Dividend. on 26 Oct 08, 08:02:41
most Maserati test drivers have extensive F1 test experience, so yes.
By: kza7. on 26 Oct 08, 01:05:44
no clutch? NOT a "real manual"
By: emiblash19. on 25 Oct 08, 18:18:41
i'm not sure of how good the stig really is , well yes i know that his awesome and so but i think maseratis best test driver would have a chans :)
