I changed it as it seemed a bit fierce!
Change it back and feel free to add my name because even though its not big bhp its eaten up my savings. <--- also real tears.

Was at Superstage/sprint last week with the Porsche Club Sweden and saw some proper cars.

i was lucky enough to have a spin in a GT3 this last weekend at the ring, never realised quite how awesome they sound from inside, once you wind them up its got a mental engine note. The grip and brakes are just outstanding, i want one!

Many moons ago, my Dad had one of these:



......... but sold it. They are now worth a fortune.

He also had a Porsche garage in NW London, and at one time we had 10 911s, and a load of 944s in the garage.

Still quite fancy a 959!

The 996 turbo is the one for me ,4wd and still rewarding,also tuneable.But if i were forced id settle for a GT3.

lhd GT3's are pretty good value now under 50k.I think the CSL is more practical though and it sounds beter too.

Refined, comfortable, good looking and classy cars that are reliable, reasonably cheap to run, have great residuals and MENTALLY good fun on a track when you wanna do that! OR if you wanna pop down the shops on a sunday with the missus you can do that as well...

What a tool!!
ABSOLUTLEY on the money there porkie, this is why i've loved porsches over any other car since i could remember!

PROPER CARS! FACT!

EVO is wicked this month as always.

But EVO had that car second... was already in last months 911 and Porsche world mag

EVO has a great piccy of the 9ff car from the underside though... mental thing, looks like a standard 911 Turbo, but it been converted to 2wd and runs full GT1 Transmission borrowed from a real GT1!!!

Stupidly fast car but a GT3 would hammer it around most circuits.

231mph at Nardo is MAD MAD MAD though

Look at the piccy carefully and you can see a BIG clue to what the car really is and why its actually a VERY cheap bit of kit

ENOUGH FOOKING SAID You wanna hear one with a Race pipe and race filter sing at 9k+... enough to make a grown man cry!

Mark, when was the last time you drove a 996 GT3 (sorry I mean Euro beetle ) on a good road or a circuit??? If the answer is last week then I prepared to apologise

It looks more like a beetle. The rear windows dont look right to me or is it just my mind playing tricks?

Number chasing Immature at best. F1 is STILL a decade after it was launched the finest road car ever. He can go faster sure, but he wont be able to carry 2 passengers, a decent amount of luggage, listen to a CD and relax in Air Con. Oh and it probably wont have ground effect either.

Id have a GT2. Fuck the pansy GT3 NA shite.
