There are quite a few quotes from Porsche owner’s, race car driver’s and magazine editors.  For example:

 

“Thank God there’s no 48 hour race anywhere in the world, because chances are nobody in the world could beat  the Porsche in a 48 hour race.  They’re probably  the only cars that would stand up for something like that”
