Why You Should Get The Porsche 911 Turbo S

The Porsche Turbo S is sure to please you if you have $182,050 laying around. The Porsche boasts an impressive powertrain that consists of a 3.8 liter H-6 with a 7-speed automatic (Where are the manuals these days? ) and AWD. All of this produces 560 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. If you were to get the base Turbo the hp would drop to 520 hp. The sprint to 60 takes only 2.9 seconds and then the Porsche will top out at 198 mph (where those missing 2 mph went I don't know). Its curb weight is 3538 lbs. Now the reason to get this thing is the launch-control on this car. According to R&T the 911 will "...explode off the line..." This is why you get the car, IT IS FUN.
Next post will be on Alpha Romeo's U.S. return.
