NewMexiKen just loves Dan Neil’s style:

There is nothing false, shallow or toy-like in the way the [Porsche] Carrera GT drives. This car is no gimmick, no vainglorious attempt to keep up with the Enzos. It is serious. Adult-strength. For mature audiences only. Double-black-diamond with an avalanche advisory. If you are not entirely respectful of the car’s power, it will hurt you.

*****

The Carrera GT is uncompromised and uncompromising. The first impression one gets behind the wheel is one of off-the-scale, black-hole density, a gravitas that feels rooted in the Earth’s iron core. This is the sort of vibration-free platform they build giant telescopes on.

Only a few of the cars have been made. You know, for Jerry Seinfeld and Tim Allen and the like.
