Porsche SUV ...isn't that an oxymoron?

Love the rims on the 7! What kind and sizes are they?

RX7UP

scratchjunkie, chiminoid, Enconsiderate
Well she like it or not she's my daily beater, no porsche gonna take the number 1 place on my top 2 list, not over my baby.
Yes the Turbo cayenne, the fully loaded one is close to $ 100K out the door (to bad I don't have the money, that would of been my pick, lol).

prew
Thanks Steve, I allways where a fan of simplicity, all I wanted to add to my car was the R1 wing long time ago (I didn't have the money and never did, than) and the R1 lip which was a must and I still love it today.
I realy like the C-west kit and I think if I had a silver FD maybe I would of donne it, but the stock FD lines are superb and my car will stay like that for as long as she lives.

twinturboteddy
Thanks, lol, alot of the times I wish she had a turbo (maybe one day I throw one in there when the waranty expires), she's got alot of tork a pretty powerfull machine I must say, immagine if there was a turbo, OMG...

GoRacer
lol, rims are 18's MM evo 5's!

RXtacy
I smoked them myself, I bot the nightshades spray from summitracing.com and some clear coat from local auto store, the side lenses where the clear ones so they look IMO little better than the stockers smoked.

rotoryspeeddreamz

Nice cars!

I have driven the Cayenne Turbo as a demo, and yes it really is fast for a GVWR of 6000lbs+ SUV. I believe 0-60 was 5.3 secs, just as fast as the stock RX7. The top speed is 165, which I think will beat a RX7. The Cayenne Turbo shines at the top end with the 450hp! I raced my friends M Coupe on the roll and beat him. It doesn't launch well, but when its rolling its fast!

I would like the Gemballa Cayenne Turbo!!

You didn't have money for an R1 wing 4 years ago and now you're buying a Cayenne? Wow. Good 4 years huh?

Nice cars. I don't think I'd personally go for such a high priced SUV, but that's just me.

Speed whise is OK, I got the V6 so it's not that fast but it has lots of tork and takes off like a *****,I love it so far.

i foudn the fx45 drove better and handled a lot better and it was ligther as well. but none the less great suv

Realy, that's odd.
Before I bot this car I went around driving lots of SUV's to try to find something that rides more like a car not like a SUV and also drove the infinity FX 45 (a friend of mines owns it) many times, it's a great car and I digg it alot, lots of power to but when I drove the Cayenne my heart started pounding real fast, I got that rush I usualy get when I drive my FD and I whanna race someone, and I knew that was it I must of had it.
Up to 70-80 mph most of the cars handle good especialy now a days with all sorts of tunned susp. but what amazas me is that sometimes I hit 100 mph or over and I take turns so good it makes me fell like the FD that's how good the handling is, very secure, no oversteering or fishtailing so easy, I even did some drifting with it once or twice and it was amazing....

Ya it should handle better then most SUV's considering it is a Porsche....Thats a funny "beater" joke too....I want your job

I like the R1 wings and a very few other select wings. I generally don't like body kits either unless they are wide and done in taste. The Rx7 has such beautiful natural lines. It is really hard to top the stock look.

Manhattan? those pics sure as hell weren't taken in NYC.. unless you rolled into central park haha. I presume you keep your RX in the burbs? Would keep my rx with me in the city if it didn't cost 400 a month.
