Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

Cwlondon -
Well said...and frankly, I'm marginally apologetic about my little tirade.
Your offer of a GT3 is intriguing.
Will my wife enjoy driving it more than the Cayman we now have?

Don't read too much into "Workingman".

Ghosthouse, unless she's dead, yes she'll enjoy the GT3 more than a Cayman!

Ghosthouse

As promised, I bought the lottery tickets. But I have not had time to check and see if we had any winners. I will keep you posted.

Re the Cayman, I would certainly think a GT3 is more fun.

But I was thinking of this thread having spoken to a friend today who has a 964, a 993, a GT3 and a Cayman S.

His favourite driving car?

The Cayman S.

Hello Cw -
How's our luck running? I don't have your friend's breadth of experience with Porsches. Have had the chance to drive only a few. You've hit on my tacit point...I believe the GT3 is more or less a factory prep'd racer. Not likely to be much fun as a daily driver on surface roads - especially here in the States [extrapolating from my experience in a gymnkhana (spelling?) mod'd 911]. In addition, I believe the mid-engine design of the Cayman is desireable. For these reasons, I asked, "would my wife enjoy it (a GT3) more?" She uses the Cayman as a daily driver for a 90 mile round-trip commute. Were the alternative a Cayman S...no hesitation. My recollection of a past issue of AutoWeek put the Cayman S as a real challenger to the 911. I love the balance and driveabilty of the Cayman but wouldn't object to the extra HP of an S. Having said all of this - I still think I want to own a 911 before I'm dead! For me, that is the iconic Porsche.

I have a 2002 Ford F-150 Lightning SVT truck and a 1989 Toyota 4X4 pick up truck..But have been in the automotive field all of my adult life up until 2007 when I started my own website in vintage audio and quit working for someone else and went to work for me...So I have owned many fun vehicles...The Lightning is still one of my all time favorites though, especially for a truck, 380 hp stock and mine is 440 hp now...FAST...Don...P.S. Of course full of stereo equipment and video equipment also..
