Car Porn.......beauty meets speed (SFW)

[Ted Striker]

Ooh, a tire discussion. Are those pilot super sports? I've got extreme contact DW's on my street wheels. They are nice but I think the PSS's will be next.

Do it. I've got PSSes on the FR-S. Big improvement over OEM, but still a street tire for sure.

Tire nerds.... boring.

This is the beauty meets speed thread.

993 Turbos have gone full retard: http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...7656/overview/

Those things were 70-80k max 2 years ago.

That is fucking crazy! Is that asking price reflective of the market for these things? Wow.

Time to start buying awd 996 turbos. As much as people hate on the 996, that's where you should be buying if you don't have Iceman money

Really glad my family decided to keep their 996 Cab (01, 14k miles) as a beach car. Wait 10 more years... PROFIT!


I see Usher at the Whole Foods every now and then in his Carerra GT. Should I make him a lowball offer before the market goes completely batshit?

You really gotta stop with the name dropping dude.

Ha! Obviously my eye was drawn to the car first every time. It took my wife to point out that the driver wasn't "that dude from American idol"

Carrera GT market is already nuts. Prices go up daily. Red, Yellow, or Black with low miles will be in the 1M range soon.

Well, shit. There goes my plan. His is Arctic Silver.

So is that 993T really representative of the market?

That one is a little high. One of the cheaper ones I have found is 156k w/ 50k miles http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...4311/overview/

Then there is this Turbo S for 559k. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...1130/overview/

I've got a 87 930 Turbo with 32k miles on it. I am not even going to think about listing it for another year or so.

This is what it looks like today.

Doesn't look like any fun at all ...

The last two weeks have been car porn on the go. I've seen two Evoras, a 458, all sorts of crazy Ferraris and two of the sweetest sounding Panteras ever. There has also been a handful of E Types with one of the sharpest early ones (62 or 63) I've ever been in the presence of. NYC metro area is just poppin' with hot cars this year. And then today I was next to a beautiful '69 442 W30 4 speed and the guy driving complimented my car

There is something very likeable about that car!!! It's got an aggressive front end, yet with a certain understated elegance. Seductive. It whispers: "stop looking at me you silly bastard, and DRIVE ME!!"...... which in the vernacular of cars is the same as saying " fuck me!!"

[huckbucket]

Black? WTF?

[Bobby Stainless]

I actually prefer the 410 Superamerica.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Is it because after 40 years, Porsche went to a bigger, aluminum body?
Why the fuck is a used production car that much money? Is it the low miles?

[liv2ski]

^^^^^They are rare, hence the price.

[VTeton]

Did it just hammer down at 80k in Kansas City? Nice ride!!!!

I've got a Hellcat I am flipping and it needs some new rears already. 1200 miles on the car....

Old Porsches are hot right now. Anything air cooled. I could buy all the 993 Turbos I wanted at 60-70k 3 years ago. Hindsight is 20/20. I would've inked up on a 918, if I knew I could get a 1/4 million over MSRP.

It's a generational thing with classics. Lamborghini Diablos are going crazy. Countach.

The 60-70s muscle car market is about to take a dip, which is why large collections are being sold. That type of car buyer is going away.

That's what I wanted out of mine, but I jumped ship for 76 (68 msrp). Those are going to dip soon too. Factory is making them as fast as they can.

[basinbeater]

Sick lookin car. Nice garage too.

Did you all get your daily triple this morning? I did...

[Bobby Stainless]

I wish.

That's at a Porsche dealership.
