        Its the idiot behind the wheel that is the cause of the issue not the car.

        The cars don't lend themselves too well to frontal collisions (911s or Carerra GTs) - in 911s, Boxters and Caymans the fuel tank is in the front luggage compartment forward of the bulkhead. A receipe for disaster if it ruptures.

        The Carrera GT could be different the fuel filler looks like it's on the rear quarterpanel.

        Ryan Dunn got switched off in a GT3 ... same story, hit a lamppost I think and got frazzled in the aftermath.

        Speed and inexperience is the problem.

                Less CO2 Faster, more powerful (apart from a handful of exotic expensive Porsches), better fuel consumption, 4 door family saloon and of course, cheaper

                    What's the top speed? Thought they were limited to 155mph?

                      They are but you can get the M drivers packet, mine is up to 311 km/h which I think is 193 mph
