I did a track day in Vegas and the instructor did a hot lap in a Porsche Macan first. That was an SUV not at all optimized for the track, and it was still one of the most thrilling experiences ever. Watching this woman experience a supercar on the track made me remember how awesome it was.

@MacGyver920 Depends on your vantage point ^^ A semi-profile view of the car always gives more value to its length.
Lauren is hot
The Audi is better looking! Both are good cars!
How does the Turbo Convertible have a faster lap than the GT3 RS?? Sometimes these times are so confusing.
What BMW is that in the beginning? It seems to be the size of a 3 series, but when this was released, the new 3 series was still a secret and the facelifted 3 series didnt have that shaped headlights. So is it a 5 series? length suggests no, since the new 5 series is basically the same length as the old 7. Any help here. I've looked at several side shots of many BMW's and can't figure this out?

Test drove the Porsche 997 a couple weeks ago, I have to say I was impressed. I never expected much from luxury cars in terms of anything really, but this car surely shocks.
I've seen an white R8 spyder, roof down, with a young muscular dude beside it with shades and on with a white shirt. I was like "Fuck you rich handsome person" =))
