What are your thoughts on the Porsche 911 GT4?

Rock solid cornering. I took the GT4 to the track at Sebring and out of the gate did a lap time 2 seconds faster than my 911 Turbo that has 200 more HP. Very solid and stable feel in the corners and plenty of power for the straightaways. My 4th Porsche and without a doubt the finest car I’ve ever driven.
