Super cars that exceed posted speed limits in fewer than five seconds are nothing new these days, so while the 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo’s acceleration is impressive, it’s not enough to separate the car from the rest of the pack. However, at $122,900, the 911 Turbo can be considered a relative bargain in a world of $250,000 Ferraris, the traction management system promises outstanding handling, and the contemporary yet classic styling will continue to draw the admiration of Porsche enthusiasts.

About Thom Blackett
Thom Blackett joined Autobytel in 2000 as a Research Analyst with the company's data division, Automotive Information Center (AIC). After four years of pouring through press kits searching for minute details, Thom jumped to Autobytel's editorial team. Born and raised in the state of Maine (no, it's not part of Canada and yes, the proper pronunciation of lobster is "lobstah"), Thom has always been a car nut, using his grandmother's potholders as steering wheels to "drive" around the house as a youngster. His biggest sorrow is never getting to know his grandfather's 1959 Caddy, or the '62 Impala Convertible and '69 Chevy Malibu that his parents once owned. As Autobytel's Road Test Editor, Thom strives to write articles that serve to inform as well as entertain. A proud member of the Motor Press Guild, Thom holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine. Comments may be emailed to thomb@autobytel.com.
