I presume so, it seems that most other modern companies that make supercars shy away from N/A 6 cyclinders. Well, except for maybe the I6 in the M3..mmm...M3...

The Porsche 911 GT3 is also *extremely* fast. I read somewhere that it is 3 seconds faster around a WET track, than a 911 Turbo is on a DRY track. Now THAT is fast. Can you imagine if they were both on a dry track? Man, such a nice car... *drooling* lol

You should check out the stats on a 911 GT2. it has 477 hp and goes from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds. It's turbo charged though.

I dont believe you... You have any conception to how ungodly fast those GT2 are?
even if you did no way in hell a hatch can possible be street legal with that...and it can only go in a straight line with slicks... this is so highly unlikely
whats the top speed on those Gt2? 190mph?
**** the RUF go 230 god I love RUF....
if I were rich I would buy a RUF

What the **** ever! Number 1, even at 406 it wouldn't smoke a GT2 and number 2, why the in the **** would an owner of a $167,000 car even want to race a POS hatch? They have nothing to prove. Especially against his car.

Either your friend is a liar... or you're a liar.

So which one is it?
