    If it sticks to the ceiling and walls like that, imagine how it sticks to the road!

    For some reasons I can't seem to upload the pictures correctly. Even if I rotate them on the iPhone they always upload upside down....

    Yes, agree completely. Too bad Porsche marketing used the 'R' designation though as I think 'Club Sport' would have been a much better choice.

    I can only agree with you.

    A "Carrera GT" would be cool also, paired with a "Carrera GS", with the same mechanical definition but a more luxurious equipment.
