          My 1st experience with Porsche was 2 years back in Glenmarie.I was amased by the exhaust Sound of the 997 GT3 RS ( Orange colour ) and it just come back from a spin by in house Technical personal from Germany, i guess !!!
               I didn't ask for a test drive due to it only restricted to potential buyers.But that did not stop me from discuss about the performance and the feature with the Sales Personal En.Raizal Mohamed.
                Until then in May 2010, i finally got the chance to drive a Porsche Cayman S on the street even for short route.It always better to excell the full potential of the this car on track.Because only then you will  know what is like to drive a Porsche or any other performance car in full throttle.
