2008
Porsche
911 GT2
By
Jim McGraw
$191,700

Yamaha AR230 High Output
from
$38,999

The
quickest,
fastest
Porsche
911
ever.
Porsche
has been
refining,
redesigning
and
updating
the
basic
shape of
the 911
sports
car for
more
than 40
years,
with
versions
such as
the
removable-roof
Targa,
the
cabriolet
(convertible),
the
four-wheel-drive
4S, the
awesome
Turbo,
and
high-performance
versions
called
GT2 and
GT3. The
engine
has gone
from a
VW-based
four-cylinder
opposed
air-cooled
engine
in the
first
911 to a
Porsche-designed,
liquid-cooled
six-cylinder,
twin-turbocharged
in some
models,
but
always
nestled
behind
the rear
window.
The 2008
Porsche
911 GT2
is the
latest
model
added to
the 911
model
range,
already
the
broadest
ever
offered.
The
addition
of the
GT2
marks
the
third
time the
911 has
been
offered
in GT2
form.
The 2008
GT2 is
the
quickest
and
fastest
Porsche
911 ever
built,
capable
of 0-60
mph
acceleration
times
under
3.5
seconds
and a
top
speed of
204 mph.
Race-car
agility.
But the
most
amazing
thing is
there's
no down
side
(other
than the
price,
of
course).
It's
quite
easy to
live
with
this car
and it
could
even be
a daily
driver.
That's
in a car
with
performance
that
would
have
been
competitive
at Le
Mans not
too long
ago.
Unlike
some
other
models,
like the
GT3,
which is
intended
for and
homologated
for,
track
racing,
the 911
GT2 is a
completely
equipped,
luxury-laden
road car
that
just
happens
to be
lighter,
quicker,
faster
and more
agile
than the
other
911
models..

The jet
boat has
grown
up. Once a rowdy, raucous puppy
chasing around the lake, nipping at the
heels of “real” boats, the jet-powered
runabout has matured into a
well-mannered craft. In fact, with this
boat, the time has come to drop the
qualifier. It’s a runabout. One that not
only holds its own among the reigning
stern drives but, in many ways, betters
them.
We’ve
thought highly of the 23' Yamaha since
it debuted in 2003, but the all-new
version rolled out for 2007 blew us—and
you—away, becoming the flat-out
best-seller in its class. For 2008, the
tower-equipped AR230 High Output is
priced at about $40,000. That’s a
whopping $20,000 less than most of the
popular runabouts in the
ultra-competitive 22'-to-24' range. And
though its low price makes it an
attractive value for boating families,
what sold us—and you—is the boat’s
innovative design and fresh thinking.
What
hits you right off is the boat’s
transom. Yamaha designers watched how we
use runabouts and saw that when not underway,
we congregate in the stern. So why not
make the aft platform area the center of
activity?
The low
profile of the Yamaha engines made it
possible to design a 4'-deep platform
that’s arranged on two levels to create
a comfortable lounging area. The latest
version features curved and padded
vertical surfaces for backrests and
horizontal surfaces covered in soft
HydroTurf material that’s easy on the
feet and knees. .....More>> |
