Paul Walker RIP

As someone who has actually driven a few Carrera GT's, they are a pretty tough car to drive.  It's one of those cars that you really have to be thinking quite a few steps ahead of what you are doing.  I had one come around on me once when I hit a small patch of sand, and it was, well, sphincter clenching to say the least.  Of course it may have had a lot to do with the fact that it was someone else's $450000 car, but there was no hooning involved.  Going about 40 or so crossing across a couple lanes of travel.  I caught it, and no harm, no foul, but still.  Never driven another car other than formula cars that had that kind of reactions to things.  Incredible car, and still the #1 car I would get post lottery, but a car you have to respect. 

As far as the stalling issue, I wonder if it had a lot to do with the fact that that engine has almost no rotational inertia. I remember we had a tsb on those that not only reprogrammed the ecu, but had a handout to give to the customers on how to get them moving from a stop.  It was amazing, you shut it off, and there was no after run.  It would stop dead the second the key was turned off.  And with no load it would rev faster than almost anything I have ever heard, it was incredible.  It also has the ability to make any tunnel or underpass an almost orgasmic experience, it sounded so good.
