re: Porsches were not meant to be four door cars.

Go to a Porsche club track day at NOLA. There is a pretty decent amount - especially considering how few Porsches you see on the road compared to any other brand. Then hold a track day for any other specific car and see how few show up.
My dream car is actually a 911 Turbo, I just couldn't afford the turbo. And for anyone that doubts that a Panamera is a true Porsche, look at the performance stats for a Panamera Turbo - it will hang with most supercars (which ain't bad for a sedan). For that matter, look at the stats on a Macan Turbo. It will hang with most muscle cars.

I think SUVs are much worse than a sedan. You're not a serious performance company anymore when you're producing two different SUV models. I hope my life never goes downhill enough to where I'm considering purchasing a SUV.

Don't mind him, his screen name pertains to his Helicopter he owns and his immense amount of Swagger.


ALSO the OP of this thread is a troll, these threads ares his "schtick"

I respect your lust for the 911, but please don't OMG a Macan. The high performance SUV segment is just silly. Drove a M5, then a X5M on a track. That's when you realize that SUV crap is pointless. M5 was 10x more fun. I just assume ignorance for people who get high performance SUVs. If you ever drove a M3, you'd wish life was over in your Cayenne Turbo. Get a E63 AMG if you need the room. Get a diesel if you need to tow. All I can afford is a C63 AMG, but no one needs to remind me that I'm a better person than any SUV driver on the road. 911 drivers, I'll submit to y'all. Y'all win that one.

It is blasephy & ugly but so is the Cayenne.....& smaller Macan SUV. Unfortunately for all those purists out there, those vehicles are huge cash cows for Porsche.

Car people can be really anti-change.

Does it go faster?
Good!

I guess people should enjoy all the extra unsprung weight all cars have gained this century?

I'll reiterate my point...not to you. But just to reiterate.

I know a few guys with 911s. One drives it the way it should be driven. That involves track time. I was just driving in BR and all I could think was "Would I hit the auto-launch and make 80 mph before the next light?"

If money were not an issue...say I was Martini...I still don't know that I'd have a 911 even though it's my favorite car in the price range. Blasting around in a comfortable Porche that I could daily drive is more appealing than the fastest car that I could never drive to it's potential.

I agree. Want to know why people drive jacked up trucks and fast cars? Cause it's fruckin fun that's why. It has nothing to do with a lack of anything, other than restraint in some moments!

For the price of a 911 Turbo S, there are other cars I would buy, for sure. That said, for the performance of a 911 Turbo S, there is nothing you can buy for that price, yet.
