When he got to the part about the obsessive Porsche owners worshipping the Porsche crest while carefully polishing the hood (as shown on the maintenance manual), I laughed out loud, repeatedly. Wifey looked over and said "Yup, that's you alright!!" 😁

No need to send him anything, especially money because truth be told, the Cayman platform is the better platform, period!

As for better platform, arguably so.. Sadly, growing up my dream car was always a 911... tradition and emotion play a bigger role in purchase decisions than logic in most people's case.

Don't get me wrong I love the 911 but there is a reason the RSR race car is now a mid-engined car. It's amazing what Porsche engineers have done over the years to keep the 911 at this high of a level in the performance arena against other brands with mid-engined cars...This is true but I have never been one to let my emotions guide me when buying a car. :-)

Another great video on the 718..

oh yeah.. I spaced out. Yeah, truth be told I want one of each... I think Porsche needs to make a more upscale 718 in terms of interior options and trim (clearly a marketing decision).. But the history of the 911 is what I'm in love with... for me the ultimate Porsche is the 917, of course this is a race car, but the sound... oh that sound! I'm a total sucker for tradition when it comes to cars.

BTW, not to disappoint you, but no fighter jet jockey here, just a corporate pilot flying a Global Express.

Listen to that 917 video, volume turned up... Flat 12, NA.... for me this is heaven. Do you have $26M I can borrow?

My dream car was also a 911 growing up, but I can't really say that the new 992 (or 991s to be honest) fit the same mold the old ones did. When push came to shove, I ended up buying a Cayman. Now I'm looking at...another Cayman.
#13
Well there is a crew bunk on the longer range Globals.
Wish I had that kind of money to spare because I would buy a Cayman MR race car for track duties. Also looking forward to the rumored upcoming Cayman GT4RS. If some or the rumors hold true, this could be an amazing car.

PCM bugs aside, and I've given PCNA an earful about this, the 992 is a far better "sports" car than both... I've had all the 911's since the dreaded 996 in Carrera trim, and my sister had a 997 Turbo... The 992 performance wise embarrasses all of them.
