1G sounds little bit much under accel?

I love the Lotus exige (a lottt), and have a lot of respect to those who drive them. I would love to have one, but I can't afford both a luxury sports car and a track day car. If I did, you better believe I would be daily driving it until my back starts hurting. I think better than the lotus would be an Ariel atom. If I tracked a lot, I would've gotten an Ariel Atom and a ford focus for the price of a 911.

Okay to be exact it's 0.99G. Anyone have the value for a GTR launch?

Oh for goodness sake, get over it, Porsches are good just not worth the money you pay for them. you are paying so much more just for brand cache. The GTR is an awesome car for reasonable money, although it could look better. Having said that the 911 is not exactly a beauty queen either.

Just wondering, have you driven a GTR? have you driven a 991? Normally people who pass judgment as much as you have normally never driven such a car before.

Liked and seconded...

I have said this so many times in this forum. GO DRIVE A 911. U will get it. They are amazing machines

Haha just read up on some of nicknick's posts. Lol...

Well, I think Porsche is a wonderful sport car. I love the 911 (after the Panamera!!) but the price is high and the maintainance cost just to much. The Z on another hand is very cheaper and lucks just sexy as a cayman in my opinion.

If we want to compare 911 I think we should bring the older 370z brother, GTR....

I agree! Except for one part, why does everyone keep saying cost of ownership is so much on the Porsche (besides oil which can be done by yourself!)? Maybe I my parents (cayenne turbo and 997 S) were lucky as they have never required maintenance in their 155K+ mile run (outside of recalls).

Porsche is a rather reliable brand if you ask me. But hey, I'm a bit biased :tup:

But I do feel like next gen Z can actually compare to the base 911! (I have high hopes for the next Z).

I agree. Those of u saying 911 coat of ownership is high. Any explanation of this thought process? We have a '99 996 in our garage right now with 70k+ on it. Everything done so far on three car had been preventative. Never had a hiccup with it once. I personally owned a 944S that i dd'd in hs that gaff over 190,000 miles on it when i sold it.

Sure, if u neglect preventative or scheduled maintenance on these cars it will cost u, they are high performance vehicles and will be more subject to wear and tear. But remember, the same can be said for any car if not properly maintained

I've never driven any type of 911's but I did get a chance to drive the new 981 Boxster. And I have to say, that car was a bliss to drive. Porsche is a company that knows how to make sports cars, and they do it very well. The 981 Boxster is the total package IMHO. I've never had that much fun behind the wheel of a car, and at the same time, I felt like I was surrounded with a plush environment. I won't go into detail about the ride/handling but believe me when I say, the 370 is outclassed in that department too. Considering the starting price of 50K, I think it's totally worth it. If that's any indication of what Porsche cars are like, then comparing the 370 to the 911 is a bit silly. No offense.

hey, you don't need to get shot with a shotgun to know you're not going to like it right?
no i have not driven either, but that is what road tests are for. road tests reveal the GTR to be superior to the 911 at a cheaper price.

I just thought I'd share my experience driving the car vs. the car we all own. Of course they aren't in the same category due to the price difference but thought people would be interested in hearing my experience, which they seemed to be.

That was a terrible analogy.

Superior is vague. Yes the GTR is faster, but it's a totally different experience. Your opinion doesn't add any value to the conversation because you have no merit behind it.

Preface your opinion by adding in "I think the GTR would be superior" as to making some sort of false claim. It will help your case.

Lol ok dude.

Sounds like a whiny guy who can't afford either haha
