Meh. According to Wikipedia:

the car can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and 0-100 mph in 6.8 seconds.
I can have plenty of fun in a Boxster that can only do 0-60 is slightly less than 6 seconds. The craving for uber torque - adrenaline rush action is loopy IMO. I've seen too many videos of fools wiping out their Cobra or Viper cuzzin they couldn't handle all the torque to be attracted to that sort of liability.

I'm really not crazy about the mid engine setup though. It's perfect for the ultimate high end racing vehicles but for street use it's not practical IMO. The rear engine configuration of the other Carrera, the 911 is more practical. More room in the cabin and you can keep the fuel further away from the engine.
