Never argue with idiots - first they drag you down to their level and then they beat you with experience.

I have seen that before but funny anyway.

These are amazing figures, and the car looks great!

I'd buy this over a 911 turbo any day!

Yeh but the price is completely out of hand.

Its not like they are the same price, and you chose this one over the TT.

Nah, i would take the regular Turbo, and personally that is alot of money too.
