I once tried to hang with a 911 Turbo Cabriolet out by Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas on my Monster S4. 

I could not keep up

License plate was: M42N8

A woman was at the wheel.

I had 5 people in my 993 for a very short distance.

4 people in my 996 for a couple hundred miles.  (after a couple years of physcial therapy, the two in the back are almost able to walk normally again.)

Drove this yesterday...

Is there room enough in the back for a child seat?

They show two segments with kids in the back. 

If you can put infant/toddler seats in the back, I am going shopping today.

I have always referred to them as factory child safety seats, but yes, move the passenger seat about half way up, and a seat does fit very nicely.

It is much easier to get the seat in and out if you get the Cabriolet.  [thumbsup]

The turbo was quite fun.   The had a police perimeter set up around the shooting location.  When I first got in the car, they told me not to worry about traffic, speed limits, or stop signs and get used to the power before we started shooting.   [evil]

Those two kids spent a lot of time sitting in the back seat.  They had plenty of room.  I'm not sure how well a grown up would fit, but the kids had no problems.

i sent Mrs Ducatiz a photo from the dealership in Tysons and she replied "why are you sending this" and of course, I know better so I just said I was looking at cars... I got a call about 1 minute later and all she said was 'don't even think about buying that until you sell 5 motorcycles'

aw man.

here it is...

honestly, if there wasn't a 2 month wait on the kid seats and they had them right there in the dealership, i might have just done it.
