Porsche 911 - Highly Overrated?

HKYStormFront · 09-29-2011, 08:28 AM

had to be a base model with a crappy driver. even the CarreraS and 4S are stupid fast... guess it depends on what year too. porsches are amazing vehicles and (thankfully) leaps and bounds from where they were 10 years ago both in vehicle dynamics and especially interior. still to this day, two of my "best car i've ever driven" test drives were of porsches, one a cayman S and the other a 997 GT3. both of these cars are life changers

A 997 4S in 5th gear from a highway roll is about equal to a 370Z going all-out.

Ok so, some dude walks up to you and says:

Here are two cars. Both are the same colour. One is a Z and one is a 911.

Which one are you going to take?

Which is cheaper to insure/maintain/operate? I'd probably take the 911 but sell it quicker. I bought a Z cuz I could afford one.

Oil changes aren't that bad, and warranty is warranty. If it had CCB's, it would not need brakes done for quite a while.

The 911. Then when I take it in for it's first service, I'll weep.

Ya I'm not arguing that the Porsche will cost more. Just saying if they both cost the same on every level. I'd have a Porsche right now lol
