Haha I couldn't have explained it better myself! People complain about the tiny bit of turbo lag the N54, N55 and S55 make. Oh please.

The 930 Turbo is amazing. When you get on it, you're like "Oh yeah, I expected this to be faster but it's still a ton of fun." Then, after you get done ordering your pizza, you're like "Holy hell, where did all this power come from!?" It's actually kind of scary!

God, the things I would do to own a 930/964/993 Turbo.
I think you two would appreciate this, particularly the section on the F40, if you have not already seen this review. One of my favorites in recent times, from Jethro.

With nice weather, it's pretty much guaranteed I'll go WoT. Although it's hard to go fast around here.

The F40 is one of my favorite cars ever. So much better than the F50 and I'd probably take one over an Enzo. The 488 is stupid fast but nothing beats the sound of the 458.

No! I just always get excited at that part of the video. It's so funny how the old school turbocharging works!



Okay, maybe I relapsed A LITTLE, but it was only enough to get me through this morning.

Can also confirm, can be ticketed for "exhibitionist speed" - even if it's JUST acceleration

My commute is so short I can't WOT hardly ever. And when I drive on the weekends there's always some asshat in a Prius going 45 on the on ramp. I'm so pent up I'm going to WOT my pants when the weather is nice enough to take a nice mountain drive again.

There is a law around here (WI) for "accelerating to fast". To many rules these days!

Its really funny if that happens at night and you don't realize it was a police car behind you as you floored it. Luckily he just laughed at me and let me go......

The odds of you avoiding a ticket were about 50/50. But there was only a 10% chance of that.

From ages 18-29 my dad often used WOT as a nick name for me.
