They are like potato chips, you can't just pick one.

I must say, though, one of my all-time favs is the 1973 3.0 RSR. That is a man's car.......





I especially like the version with the Mary Stuart Collar:

i love the RSR's. RAW, evil, unforgiving. if i had enough money, i'd buy an old 911 and convert it to an RSR. simply awesome.

It is very hard to narrrow it down, but I would have to say that any variation of the RUF 993 is my favorite Porsche... namely the cars of rennlist members ca993twin, CP, and superyellowfly

My other one.

In all seriousness I'd say 959, 930, 917 and 968 - probably in that order.

Great pics!

I especially drooled over those RSR pics posted by Tifosiman... have not seen most of those. That first pic is scintillating [EDIT, I thought it was Muller, but now I'm not sure...].

As for my other favourite Porsche, I would definitely say for racing cars the 917 series, the LH Le Mans cars in particular. For cars I might actually own, I think my pick would be a 1993/94 964 RS America (well, for this week anyway...)

i WOULD HAVE TO SAY MY FAVORITES ARE THE 959, 993 TURBO S, 1980's Carraras, and how can i deny the 1000 hp 917-30 race car, a twin turbo v-12 is just rediculously cool. OF the old cars the 904 Carrara GTS has some of the coolest exterior styling of all porsches ever.

OH and yea if rufs are allowed then the yellowbird CTR is deffinetly on that list too.
