I have a 1999, 911 Carerra Cabriolet. The first year of the water cooled engine. When I bought the car several years ago, the previous owner hadn't taken good care of the car. It needed immediate, almost emergency engine work after I bought it. After replacing the clutch, brakes & other usual maintenance through the years, the car has been an absolute gem. Here's an interesting fact: 75% of all Porsches ever made are still on the road.
So true, most of them still running and all of Porsche models can be used as daydrivers... ranging from the earliest air cooled 911 to current production cars.
True points, but it still weighs about the average amount for a car (3000 lbs), so to achieve 117 mph 1/4 mile speed requires POWER. And this seems to make 400 wheel horsepower!
i have to agree with you that supercars should be driven with a clutch..... porsche built PDK as a technological showcase to the world that they too can make a fast-shifting sequential gearbox... viva la manual
this is the second set of rims porsche has swiped from the corvette with the 2005 now the z06. you would think the be a little more creative..nice look tho.
sure it can't handle like a 911, nothing can in its price range (except GT-R) but maserati has back seats and a proper trunk. I have no problem with a under 100k porsche 911 but over that its maserati territory
yes porsche has been doing better lately than maserati, everyone has, but maserati still exists because its a valuable nameplate. Remember that porsche only has done better than maserati because it has been saved by the german government a millions times. Think of it as this, a new M3 is better than an older Ferrari 355, but which one would you rather have (forget about money and think about it)
