Unfortunatley with any "exotic" you need to be careful. Porsches are cheap to maintain. Not much to a box 6 with a couple of turbos hanging off the back . I drive em and race em and I can tell you its not what you know but who you know when it comes to mantaining a PorscheLots of people get laid away on these cars all the time. 10K for a tranny... someone was showing you no love at all !!

Just be glad you didn't have to buy a "real" Porsche tranny like this one

Anyone who does not think the 2010 Camaro is a great looking car needs to watch this video. To me this car has a hint of old school with a touch of class and it looks ready for anything that comes along side of it. I know the LS7 is not an option yet but I still thing the car is very sharp looking.

I can't wait to see how much the 2010 Camaro "First Retail Production" coupe sells for on Barrett-Jackson Saturday.

I drove a gt500 conv, it was OK but did not knock my socks off.
As far as top down, I was waiting for the Challenger drop top, then I heard it got nixed. bummer

I ordered a 2010 Camaro 2SS in Inferno Orange with White stripes, - that was until I found out that the rally stripes had been changed to the 1992 heritage style.

My dealer is currently holding my order for the Bumble Bee package now estimated by GM for a June 09 announcement. Stripes on the Bumble bee will be more like the concept style which is a very good thing. Now if the Ducted hood on the TF2 Movie car makes it to production that would be VERY good.

Rally Yellow and Black stripes could be a very good looking combo. Reminds me of Daytona Yellow. Eye popping.

yea I know. With the quiet exhaust anf mild street tune it sure don't feel like 500 hp. But they run low 12's all day without touching a thing. Slicks, a tune puts it in the 11's.. The supersnake (725 hp) is deep in the 10's.. In fact MM&FF ran 10.8 with a bone stock one this month at E Town.. It did have DR's though. Amazing..
