@mrklas I recently advertised on Facebook my 2002 BMW M3 E46 that I had bought brand new (200K miles). I have 150 responses in 1 hour and a guy who had seen my car on my driveway before came to my house 10 minutes after the ad went up and game me cash. I am now driving a 12 year old Chevy Aveo, a bicycle, and also new speakers. Pretty happy the way things went. |
Hey MC - mine might be my last one - '11 GTS. max 997.2 power other that GT3 (has no sunroof) No turbo, normal sunroof. Triple black, center lock wheels....Please convince me otherwise. I've always replaced every 6 years and now I am overdue. Can't think of anything else except an older, slower GT3. I don't pay for collectibility, just pure fun. |
I have a German friend who lives in Hamburg; he and his family own a successful machine business. You would never know it by interacting with him. Very laid back and non-ostentatious. After a few years the subject of cars came up. He always has the fanciest AMG sedan and reminded me that those cars are bred for the Autobahn He drives extremely fast when knucklehead drivers aren't in the wrong lane. I know sedans and Porsches are quite different, but I'm sure there are several German cars that feel like child's play at 190. |
Even as great as the 911 is, there have over the years been a few times Porsche really hit a home run. Not necessarily the fastest, but the best combination of speed, handling and comfort that combine for indescribably fun factor. The first was the 911SC. Then the 964RSA. The last one was the 997.2. The 997 GTS came with magnetorheological fluid filled motor mounts. These motor mounts change from squishy commuter comfort to rock hard race in milliseconds. Computer controlled. When I say rock hard race, when I nailed it at 5k in 2nd the car did not merely accelerate, it felt as if we had been rear-ended! I have been in a Cup Car. Those the engine is hard mounted. You feel every ingition every cylinder. The 997 you feel comfort- until you nail it and it becomes a Cup Car. This people is just the motor mounts. All this technology, and we are just talking about the freaking motor mounts. In a 911 from two generations ago. sokogear, your GTS is a home run. Drove it, know it. Check it out, according to this carbon fiber wheels with center locking hubs will be an option on the 992.2! https://youtu.be/y4k05gh58WE?t=517 |
