Besides the tag on the back, how can you tell the difference between a GT2 and 911 Turbo? I think that the Carrera/Turbo/GT2/3 all look too similar.

A GT2 has a fixed rear wing (that is, not automatically adjusting), so its always up). The GT2 has yellow-painted brake calipers (opposed to red). The GT2 has larger air intakes, and wider tires.
But they do look fairly similiar.

Yes, Z8's are awesome. I got up close and personal with one once. Very Cool.

I like the Z8. I tried it out last summer, as my friend insisted because he wanted to show it off as much as possible It is very fun to drive, with the wind rushing through your hair...

Mollycoddle?

Even though im a bigger BMW than Merc fan, i have to admit the Z8 doesnt match the SL. Not even close. I dont understand how BMW made the car and how they marketed it. It could have been so much better

I do not really like mercedes, they are too soft, not real hard sportscars.

OK, Merc doesnt make hardcore drivers cars but i wouldnt say their cars suck! Mercedes make some excellent cars and the SL is exquisite, especially the AMG version, which im sorry to say clobbers the Z8. I would like to see a more direct competitor to the M3 though, the C32 is too laid back; Merc needs to make a racer, appeal to a younger audience

lol.. i know what you mean... we were a 100% BMW family and now my dad has a Merc, my opinion has changed as i get to drive/ride in the car... i appreciate them a lot more now, and understand the saying "a mercedes benz is for life"... i'd rather have a BM at this age though

Menu, whats the deal with your electricity situation?

I have a little generator, that can keep going for 29hours before stopping. It is not very powerful, but it keeps the TV going.
