I was driving home and in my subD a neighbor had a orange 911 but it was low and had a big black wing. I didnt really stop to examine it but I think it said GT3 or something. Porsches are nice, wish I could afford just a used 911 turbo.

If they have water in the engine I have no use for them - the rest I love.

The GT3's are simply Bad Ass.... That Cayenne looks like another grocery getter IMO.... If I had any to chose it would be a GT3 for sure....

Me and my best friend were looking at cars for him about a month back. He was a bit nervous, so I did the test drive..plus, he knew I'd wring it out real good. It was a 2007 911 turbo and that was definitely the fastest, most capable car I've ever been in, much less driven...they wanted like 90 grand for it.

GT3's are gorgeous!

I saw one in CNN center parking garage one night, stopped to snap some pics.

Yeah, the GT3 is probably one of the best cars they've made, just badass. My Dad has the BoxsterS and its F'in fast. I can't imagine driving some of these other Porshes that have like double the HP. The CayenneS Turbo is pretty badass as well, high HP, and MONSTER brakes....I just don't like the looks of them and understand their place in the line up.......if you want a Porshe, buy a Porshe, not an freakin' SUV.

I've driven a Boxster S and its was quick but not fast. I raced one in my Spec-V and was just as fast as it.

This is the one my neighbor had in the driveway. Guess it was a GT3.

LOL...I used to own a tricked out Spec V and unless you are running boost, forget it. Not to mention the Boxster would hand you your arse in the curves. The Spec V would be three wheel understeering all over the place like mine did in AutoX. Obviously the Boxster isn't meant to be a straight line car, I still think its fast. The thing about a Porshe is that they are damn near perfect right out of the box.

I would say 160 MPH is fairly fast....and that is my Dad's 01', the newer ones are up over 300 HP.

Actually I was boosting but I raced the S with header, intake, exhaust, and pulley. Maybe it wasnt an S but I think it was. Yeah they handle good but I doubt they'd do 160 on most roads around here.

My friend had an 01 I think, he has a Cayman now. What did they have? 258hp?

Buy an older one and you'll be fine.

I was pretty toasted. I barely remember taking them. Much less holding the phone still!
