More Meet The TTACers: Houston, TX

If you live in the Houston area, you’re best off avoiding going to have a chance to meet some of your least favorite TTACers this weekend!

Start with the 24 Hours Of LeMons at MSR Houston, where no fewer than three of us — Jack, Sajeev, and Murilee — will be competing and/or judging Saturday. Then on Saturday night, check out The Hideaway where yours truly will be fronting a trio inbetween the headliner sets. Show up early and say hello, or show up late and get punched/molested/bored to tears with stories of the Volkswagen Fox!

    Looking forward to your coverage of the gig on Saturday. Because, when you think about it, that's far cooler than driving around in a funny looking circle all day.

    This was something I posted in Porsche 911 Turbo S review but I assume that post is not current anymore. So I re-post it here and I do understand that it does not seem relevant, but still.... "Jack, I need your advice with this: The 991 Carrera with the “new engine” has 350hp and an official time to 0-60 of 4.6 sec. The new Cayman/Boxter is coming by the end of 2012 and the BMW M3 will be there shortly there after. They will not let Cayman S to be more powerful or faster than base 991 so I assume it will have similar performance numbers to the current car (320hp, 0-60 ~4.9 officially). The new F30 M3 will probably have something around 450hp or so with a rumored turbo 6 (probably with a better torque number than the current car too) So the question is, will the performance gap between the next gen M3 and Cayman S be even higher than the current gen cars (I remember you said M3 beating current small porsche range in the past) Given the oppoprtunity, will you go for an M3 or Cayman S for the next gen cars, and what would be the rationale behind your decision. I am a big Porsche fan, but your input will make a difference for me for my next possible choice of cars. Thanks Timm "
