2009 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Driving one is not an experience, it's an occasion. 911s are that special.

If you think that'd be easy, try driving a Lamboghini e-Gear or a Nissan GT-R sometime. Second, the shifts seem really, really quick to me. I don't know how many milliseconds they quote, but it feels as fast as a Ferrari sequential-manual box.
