This sums it up:

Is the top picture you?

GT2 and i believe the turbo S beats the zr-1 0-60... check Porche USA but i'm pretty sure it's that fast

I was told larger water jackets were possible with the thicker cylinder walls as well to better displace heat soak.

I thought it was shaftin the carrot, then spankin the monkey? Yo, Yo, Yo.

Who knew monkeys even liked carrots? I guess for them it would be peeling the nana? So confusing...
