Isn't that the same model Porsche that lost control in Santa Clarita and took the life of Paul Walker? It's a different color It's one of the most visually stunning Porsche's in my opinion.
But I heard they are very unstable at high speed. Along those lines, Jay Leno test drove one on the track and lost control of it on one of the high speed banks. Apparently that is not an uncommon occurrence in this model. Those are worth more than my house so it is unlikely I'll ever get a chance to drive one. -Les On Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 6:20 PM, Larry Velez <la...@sinu.com> wrote: > Here is a fun listing.
