Man,that is sexy as hell.


My plan is to sell this Mustang as soon as it's paid off and get a 2022 Vette. I've lusted after something from Zuffenhausen for a long time, but something from Bowling Green even longer.

So many different configurations ...

Too many choices make it too complicated in my opinion. I usually like to look at two choices, maximum of three.

Otherwise, I get "paralyzed" in the decision making process.

But who am I to say? Porsche obviously knows what they're doing.

I drove an '18 for a weekend, and it was fun as hell. Much more comfortable to sit in and drive than I thought it would be

I'd wait for this model to mature, then there will be some serious mojo.

There were a bunch of current GT3 RS's around today. They still look and sound good.

It is truly amazing that the 911, through all 8 redesigns, has set the standard for performance of a daily drivable sports car, while still retaining the timeless lines of the 1964 original.

If you think it’s all about HP...


Actually, this 911, unmodified from the showroom, has 50 HP less than your ZL1.


Let me know when the ZL1 shaves another 38 seconds and breaks this....

You're overthinking it.

You choose a roof (hard , cabriolet, targa). S or no S. Turbo or no Turbo and 2 or 4 (if applicable).

Then options - now they will upsell DA frick out of you and Porsche options are as high as Snoop Dogg. But, really it's cosmetic(mainly wheels), I think there are a couple of infotainment packages, and I assume PDK (vs manual or automatic).

You're not going to get a Turbo, GT# or Speedster unless you already know that's exactly what you want and you're OT wealthy.

For most 911 buyers it is a simple choices of roof, 2 or 4, S or not, all based on budget and preference, ditto for transmission/PDK.

Really out of the box design by Porsche.

Why would you move away from a absolute iconic design. Did you like when SUVs became minivan hybrids? That’s a good looking car.

Jeep really hasn’t either, neither seem to have a problem moving their product.

Also 650 lb-ft of torque. Again...my Camaro is laughing. Ohhhh...and it was less than $70,000. Let’s go to Barber’s after purchase.

You get what you pay for.

You sound like a tattooed meathead—the ZL1 is a perfect car for you.
