Arite guys so many of you may know how much of a huge fan of Porsche fan I am and when I hear they are putting a new car out I go crazy. This new car is beautiful. This new car is fast. This car will hopefully be coming out some time during 2012. This car is the Porsche 918. So far I have learned a good amount of information about it. This car is both a normal car that runs on gasoline buy also it can run on purely electricity for up to 30 miles. This car is a combination of the Porsche 917 and the Porsche carrera GT. Most of the body style comes from the Porsche 917 while much of the interior comes from the carrera GT particularly the center console and the dash board. This car though also is said to be very vast because of its immense speed. It is said to be even faster around the nurberg ring than the Porsche carrera gt. I just can't wait for this car to come out. This to me is a beggining to a new Porsche. Starting off with technology that is now going to affect the whole supercar world. When the car is finally released I will definetly post about it with more info

Pontiac Trans Am
Alright so many of you may not know of the legacy and important history of the Trans Am. I personally love Trans Ams just because i consider them the starting point of Pontiac. Frankly though i hate the current trans ams because there were just weak and have very little power. The trans ams that i like are the 69-72 year models. These were by far the best pony cars out at the time. They were VERY strong at the time the came out. In fact some even had about 400 HP. Nowadays though when you look at the huge list of older cars you would think Ferrari or Lamborghini, and even i would. But the fact of the matter is that Pontiac Trans Ams were beasts at the time. They were luxurious, they were fast, and well built.
Many people though do not seem to understand what kind of car a Trans Am was. Trans Ams were pony cars and NOT muscle cars. The term pony car means a car that is affordable, compact, and highly sporty. Some other pony cars would be like the camaro or mustang.
A huge reason why i love the trans am is because many of them came with a huge Fire bird on the hood

Which Super Car Should I Get?
NEW OR USED? When ever you plan to buy a super car you should usually only buy them new. This is because when ever you buy a used car their could be a problem with it that you did not notice it being there when you got it. For example the brakes could be over used or the battery could be bad or even those custom tires that you were told were in perfect condition could be bad. So all in all buy it new instead of used. So now that you know used vs. new.
POWER OR SMOOTH RIDE?Now though you must pick a car. People like me would think POWER POWER POWER but no you should never buy a car just for power. instead, be like me and look for a car that has a smooth ride and does not look like crap. For example to all you Mercedes fans. Many of you have seen that new Mercedes AMG. This is a beautiful car, except it has few but very noticeable problems. Like the biggest problem being how low it is to the floor and how it has a terrible turn radius. But, to me the biggest problem is the ride is just plain rubbish. The car keeps on moving all about making it very uncomfortable. Why would you ever buy a car if you feel uncomfortable driving it. It makes no sense. It may be pretty fast and have 400 and so horsepower except its just uncomfortable mostly i think because it has A LOT of Tork. Yes... even a car as beautiful as the AMG has problems sadly.
BRAKES AND CORNERS? So now you know that POWER is not the main factor to look at. Instead you should begin to look at a few other things like breaks. You want your breaks to be good enough so it will stop you from hitting the car in front of you. but also you want your breaks to be able to just slow you down just enough so you can make a corner Perfectly and the reemerge with a good amount of speed. A car that would be great would be like that new Porsche Carrera 911, which is just beautiful on the corners.
STYLE? Now you have found a car with good brakes and a good drive. But now you have yet another problem... style. I mean sure you could get a car like a Gumpert Apollo or an Aerial Atom, which are both great cars in almost every category except most definitely not style wise. Frankly to me and most people these cars look terrible. So what car can you gt that doesn't look bad except has the good looks? I believe I have found the answer.
THE PERFECT CAR? The Aston Martin DB9 to me is the perfect car. The DB9 has a beautiful interior made mostly of leather and it has a great dashboard. It has a very comfortable ride because the seats feel great and also because of the great suspension. The outside of the car even looks great as do the other Aston Martins. The shape of the Aston is like that to help support aerodynamics. The DB9 has also great Power because it has over 450 horse power! its breaks are great for corners and also emergencies and its at a decent price too. This is by far one of the greatest super cars.

Porsche Carrera GT
There are many great ways to describe the Porsche Carrera Gt, like magnificent, awesome, and beautiful. All of these are understatements of how great the Porsche Carrera GT is. Let me begin with its appearance. The Carrera GT is beautiful due to the Carrera's body. It is astonishing from front to rear. The Carrera GT like the other Porsche's has great handling and also is very fast which is 205 mph, which is about the average speed for most super cars. Though, sadly the Porsche Carrera GT is not a cheap super car at all. The Porsche Carrera can go up to being 350,000 dollars, which is a pretty penny. Though if I were looking to buy a super car and i had the money, i would definetly buy the Porsche Carrera GT instead of a Ferrari because the Porsche is easily better than the Ferrari in every category. For some more information about the Porsche Carrera GT watch this video from Top Gear UK.
Porsche Panamera
Many people would believe that the Porsche Panamera would be a great car due to the fact that it is a Porsche. Though, in my opinion the Panamera is an ugly four-door saloon. One of the most annoying things in the Panamera is that it has a stop-start system. The Porsche though is only 97,000 pounds. This may appear as a very good price for a "super car" but that is irrelevant because the Panamera has a lot of hidden fees, like how you have to pay extra for upgrades on it that is on other base cars, like the rear wind shield wipers. In my opinion though I would not buy this Porsche, instead i would rather buy a Porsche Carrera or even an a type of Corvette that is just as good as the Panamera.
