What if we used the metric system?

"I learned that at low RPM's the computer helps control the clutch, you can even let out the clutch on an incline with no gas and it will not stall. So when you get yours you can impress the salesman and be the first not to stall it."

Clutch isn't that bad as long as you know how to use it.

[edit] Performance

I personally think it's better than the Mercedes SLR. Please tell me what you think.

Were the Michelin PS-2 tyres developed specifically for this car?

This car is fast and beautiful! Best Gamer

I would like to know how much hp the Porsche Carrera GT has and how fast is it from 0-60mph? Thanks alot and this and the Mclaren F1 are my favorite cars in the world.. Also , how many models were made? Thanks ... Ry The Fry

much better than the SLR. this is a true racing car unleashed out on the streets thanks to Porsche's technology for one, their 'vario-cam' technology where hydrulicaly self-adjusting inlet valves allow you to idle smoothly, yet open it up efficiently at high speeds, as the opening of said valves varies with the rotating speeds of the camshaft that acts upn the valves. this allows more or less air/fuel mixture to enter the combustion chamber producing a smooth performance all along from iddling to mid-range to high speeds -smoothly. another example is the ceramic clutch that allows the engine to transmit its power to the wheels without the use of a flywheel, freeing the engine from its weight. just turn off the engine and notice the immediate stop of engine motion. one more, the ceramic brakes that allow almost instantaneous high performance without much need of warming up of the rotors.

yes, the tire was specificaly built for the sizes that the C-GT carries. michelin has been producing tires for porsche for a while, such as the tires for the 911 GT2 and GT3.

indeed, this car is not only a pretty face, as most porsches, its performance is outstanding... best is its value, when compared to the prize of its competition: the enzo (ferrari), SLR (mercedes), and mclaren.

[edit] Famous owners list

There is a discussion of having a list like the one on this one deleted, well I am totally up for it. Well it currently under discussion here. Willirennen 20.51 2 December 2006

As with other supercar pages, this owners list has been vandalised before and also because it is unsourced, therefore at the end of this week, this famous owners list will be deleted. If there is any objections, feel free to discuss. Willirennen 17:51, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Technology

Removed this sentence: "The overall technological concept of the Carrera GT could be described as representing the absolute pinnacle of classic mechanical engineering, as opposed to other supercars like the Enzo Ferrari, which rely more heavily on the ever increasing influence of electronics and computers on the driving experience."

Sorry to annoy anyone who frequently edits this site, I just thought this was a bit speculative. Feel free to replace. --86.139.109.242 23:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
