Thank-You!! I did find the article on MSN.com
I believe the "right" car is the 2016 Carrera S, manual trans. Last one naturally aspirated. I love turbocharged everything, but the 911 NAs have a special growl that no other car matches.And all I want is a simple Carrera
Yes, you are the only one.am I the only one who thinks the car needs a new chassis upgrade?
You haters would think different if you drove/rode in a 2017+ TTS and used the launch control. Ours is tuned and will run high 9's in the qtr mile on street tires. Stock they run 10.3 in the qtr. Very fast car.....
Wish I was closer. I'd take you for a spin in my GT2RS. No "meh" here.I gotta be the only one in the world that Porsche’s honestly don’t do a lot for..
I have driven quite a few of them and always just thought they were kinda “meh.”

They're bad ass for sure, and while the technology of the car has changed and improved over the years, am I the only one who thinks the car needs a new chassis upgrade?
Most people can't tell the diff from one generation to the next because they're so similar.

Yes, you are the only one.
Back in 1989 I ordered a new 89 Speedster in Baltic Blue and Cashmere. It was my daily driver until summer came. I wore suits then and the AC sucked. Eventually I sold it. One of my biggest car selling mistakes.I'm too old to care about quarter mile and 0 to 60 times. This would be the newest Id get in turbos: https://www.autotrader.ca/a/porsche/911/kelowna/british columbia/5_45368323_20150526104607030?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&ursrc=hl&orup=2_14_14&pc=V4M 2J2&sprx=-2
For non turbo in 911's the newest would be up until 1989. Ultimate and around the same price as a new Turbo S would be one of these: https://www.autotrader.ca/a/porsche/911/mont-royal/quebec/5_47482602_20150812092118987?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&orup=2_15_32&pc=V4M 2J2&sprx=-1
Oldest non turbo Id go is a 1973 911 RS.

Then in the 996 era I was looking for another Speedster because I thought the 996 cars were, ugly. Found another 89 Speedster in San Francisco. Black/ Gray, 3000 miles. I bought it but summer came along and you know what happened.
I think the 89 Speedster is one of the best looking Porsche's ever. You have good taste!!
I 100% agree. I have a 2017 turbo s its definitely a rocket. If you look at the numbers these cars hang with most super cars in all categories. I do wish I would have bought a GT3 at times. Much more of a drivers car.You haters would think different if you drove/rode in a 2017+ TTS and used the launch control. Ours is tuned and will run high 9's in the qtr mile on street tires.

One of the members at our track has the GT3 Cup car, race version. It's an effin beast. Took this short video of my son running his yellow AP1 S2000 Honda. The Cup car was getting on the throttle going into the 1/2 mile straight at 0:20 in the video. I'll get a better/longer version this coming weekend to upload.
This race version [ single seater ] is nearly $ 800K cdn OTD. Specs > https://www.porsche.com/internation...cing/racingcars/911-gt3-cup/featuresandspecs/
Where's he located? I've been thinking about doing some work to it
Id rather have this. https://www.autotrader.ca/a/porsche/930/leduc/alberta/19_11425986_?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&orup=1_1_0&pc=V4M 2J2&sprx=100 more collectible, air cooled originals are becoming more collectible. In 1980, Porsche stopped selling the 930 in the states for awhile. It didn't come back to the states until 1986. So low production numbers between 1980 and 86.
A German guy I used to do some work for had a 1987 930 Turbo, European model. Unfortunately, his house burnt down one night, with the car in the garage, and he was in his bed. RIP Helmut. I don't have any before pics, so this is an internet pic. View attachment 899415 View attachment 899416 View attachment 899417

I'll check it out. Thanks for the info.
Ya. It really is. When I was thinking of buying the car the thing that sold me was you could use launch control as many times as you want and it came with a 5 year warranty. That blew my mind that Porsche had that much trust in they're cars to take abuse and not break. Most of these supercars have a limp mode after a couple launches and a 2 week warranty.Are you constantly hitting the "fight or flight" button? Fun button!
