Went to Drive a 911 today DID NOT

Nice topic; discussed many times I am sure. Porsche is better engineered off the line but I have to agree that with a few mods and you are pretty close to a non aspirated 911. Look at the specs between the two...nearly identical and for $60k less YUUUUUUP. Not to mention maintenance costs. So yes a poor man...in some cases. I like taking the JDM underdog and turning the wrench here and there to upset German inginuity! I do admit, it would be nice to have a Porshce (esp. the GT2 or 918 Spider; oops apples/oranges) but I am quite happy with my 370. Besides I have fun discussing this topic with my brother-in-law who owns the 911. I think that if I wanted to spend the money it would be on a NISMO GTR anyways...
