Need:

Gt1

997 sport classic
991 gts targa

can i ask what the differences are in these cars?
cuz to the uninformed they don't seem to offer much differentiation...
(or are you saying you'd just be happy with one of them?)

[BmillsSkier]

Gotta do that Targa GTS in orange!

[huckbucket]

Mismatched, black wheels on that beauty. Key-rist!

Steering wheel is on the wrong side too.

All in all though, what a lot of people may not realize about 911s is how the character changes across different years and configurations. Drive feel, capabilities (lightweight, analog race inspired cars or heavy grand tourers to hauling groceries & dates, dentists, oral & maxillofacial surgeons, peridontists and prosthodontists ).

Bro: I have a really clean 550i (2006) with 70K that I might sell.

[BmillsSkier]

FIFY

Like your people know any of those people.



Oh, and you forgot cosmetic dentists.

Bromo... I have two on your list. And I live pretty close. Come drive.
This went blowing by me in southern Idaho this afternoon with no plates. The listing on ksl (in Rigby id?) was still up half an hour later for $9800 with 120k. Looks like a deal to me... Auto though...

[basinbeater]

And a buddy of mine just took delivery of this nice gt4....
Can't wait to drive it.

I sold one of the new ones they are making.

Dunno if this belongs here or not but I got this Hyundai Equus as a rental. Never knew they made a 430 hp rwd car that would be so much fun to drive.

With the wife and kiddos loaded for bear for 10 days in the Socal hills, it's comfortable, good on gas, and I'm working on turning it with minimal tread.

[Mazderati]

^ Had a Genesis rental that was very decent.

So... the 911R isnt even track worthy from what I'm reading on rennlist. Lots of owners of the same engine but gt platform having top end failures on road and track. Some 15/16 GT cars on 2nd & 3rd engines. Mezger engine or go home in the long run.

[Bobby Stainless]

911R was a marketing exercise by Porsche, to test the viability of a manual 991.2 GT3.

In my opinion, that engine has run it's course, and the days of NA for Porsche are almost over. 991.2 GT3 will be NA, and that's the last of them probably.

This car is so fucking sick. 11mpg in the city! The V8 version in 05 gets better mileage. lol. I have two I am trying to sell. 450k msrp, 1.1M flip price.

That Ford is one of the best looking designs I've seen in years. They made something truly different in a format that was looking all kinda the same.

Anyone else enjoying the car porn coming out of Detroit this week? Personally my favorite so far has been the VW electric minibus concept (like their 100th microbus concept - just build this already and be done with it) and the Volvo V90 - the sexiest wagon I've seen since the M5 Touring.

That garnet red Ferrari does nothing for me. When was it designed? 1985??? Tsk tsk.

I'm not saying it is ugly, it just doesn't move me visually the way a Ferrari should. A drive and I might be whistling a different tune, preferably one with a staccato Ferrari exhaust note to it!

[BmillsSkier]

Marshall Goldman is my hero.

Ever since discovering that place I make a point to drive by when I'm back in NE Ohio to visit family. The 1/2 mile long strand of showroom windows are loaded to the gills with car porn. Last time I was up there was a yellow Testarossa next to a Martini-liveried Porsche 918 next to a red Countach - and that was just one window.

Ufda!

[Bobby Stainless]

Hey Bmills. I figured I would answer you here, instead of the truck thread.

Yes. GT2 RS is coming out. It will be a rear wheel drive, PDK, 700ish hp monster.

Feverishly trying to get an allocation or 2.

This makes my pants tight.

[BmillsSkier]

Thanks BD!

This makes my pants tight.

That makes my knuckles white.

[basinbeater]

I got to drive a ferrari like that. Definitely a cool car. I let the owner drive my 944 turbo, and on the freeway on ramp he walked away from me.

And Porsche still can't figure out how to make a good sounding exhaust.

Not sure about the gt2 in that vid but the 718s and turbo 991 Carreras sound pretty good.
