That "POS SUV" probably had a minimum of 450 hp.

It only has that much if the driver is capable of driving it that way. Otherwise, its just another SUV with some soccer mom on the cell phone with all her kids in the back not paying attention to where shes going vehicle out to make trouble for us guys with the little cars.

It is just my opinion guys. I don't like the fact Porsche trailed off the sports car arena. I know they are making $$$ with the SUV, but use to be a 944 would have fun racing around a 914 or 911 or 928. Point is this guy marked a turning point for me. No longer can I just look for the Porsche name and think, Cool! Another kid to play with! Now I have to think, does this guy or women know how to handle that 1000hp or whatever under the hood? Or will they be calling the police on thier frigging cell phone to report me for aggressive driving? Just sucks is all. I sort of wish Porsche would have stayed out of that arena.

To much money for them not to have jumed into that arena.

Yeah you have to find the right person to drive the Pepper fast.

Last summer I put a hurt on a pepper S with my good ole Chevy truck, guy could not drive up the side of a TN mountain to save his soul. And it was in the rain, his AWD and more HP better suspension etc. should have kicked my 2wd limited slip V8s butt. All he saw as tail lights.

Now that being said I have a buddy that drives the piss out of his Pepper Turbo, Willing to hand out your (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) on a platter if you want. But he will only keep it through the winter then it is M Coupe time for him. As he says it is only funny so many times to beat the pants off somebody in a Soccer Mom's car.


The Porsche dealers around here have tons of them and are wheeling and dealing to move them. They are not too happy about carry the stock that PCNA is making them when they can't sell the thing. Kinda hard when right next to the pepper there is the VW version for oh several $$$$ less.

Not sure why Porsche decieded to do a joint venture with VW again. They should have stuck to engineering the beast and let VW sell it. Maybe they should have built an RS model for VW kinda like Audi RS6.

Yes I know my favorite car is a joint venture product but I am wierd that way.

The VW and Pepper are both nice but for the money, I would be looking for something else. Or at least used found an Audi RS6 today for less than the prices you where quoting, and that in my book is way more fun.

Not my rig but I wouldn't mind having it. That said, don't think it would do well in a crosswind or when a semi passes you. For a big 20' box like this, you need a big ass 'mercn truck.

Thanks to my half-crazy wife who has just recently mastered the art of prolific spending (I can't complain much as I have about a 20 year head start in this category), I (er, we) now have a new tow vehicle. It's about the same as the old one, just newer and nicer and a different color. Exit the 2001 Land Crusher, enter the 2005 Land Crusher. They are built like tanks and expensive as all hell, but resale value and reliability are top notch as with most higher-end Toyota and Lexus models. Plus she can write off a lot of the expense against her new business, and less taxes = (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif)
