Car Guys, Assemble!

Why not really dream big: Porsche Carrera GT.  I have been passed by one of these twice in my current tour in Germany.

Porsche is overrated. Not to mention 90% of them look like squished VW Bugs.

My $31K Mustang eats most AMG's for breakfast -  not so with several Porsche models.  But to each his own.  <S>

Which AMG's? The twin turbo'd 4 bangers with only 260-something horsepower or the 600 horsepower AMG's with a V8?


There's a slight difference in what kind of AMG's you're racing here.

Well, each to their own, I love American muscle cars, nevertheless that Porsche is stunning and you'd have to be blind not to appreciate it

I have beaten E63s, CL63, C63s, and S63s.  Granted my car has 596 brake HP.

I am not enamored with Porsche's styling, of late.  However, that is rather subjective.

Provided that those are all sedans and not even made for performance like a Mustang, it doesn't surprise me. More of the cost goes to luxury than performance with those. Try taking on an SLS or a SLK which were made for performance.

I'm unimpressed with the looks of a squashed bug.

I have been beaten by SL63s, SLK55s and I don't think I stand a chance against an SLS -  beast that car is.

I have also been beat by two souped up (boosted) RS4s.  Oh BTW, Porsches (squashed VWs)  are frickin fast.  IMO, best engineered sports cars on the road.

For less than $43K invested, I am happy.

I always thought this was the best looking Porsche ever made.  Just from a pure visceral perspective, this is one bad arse automobile.

Chuck!

Fell in love with it after GGWB.

The day I win the lottery I will have this car!

I know!  The new Porsches are as fast, if not faster, but they lack that look that screams, "Don't even think about messing with me!"  They are just too,...too civilized looking.

Sweet.

Here is a video I took at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Listen to this beast.

Sorry about the shoddy video but you get the point.

Skuzzy, great Porsche picture, that is the car that defines Porsche for me.

Ours is cute, sporty, stylish, but I haven't buffed it up yet to scream Porsche yet   That is such a distinctive look.
