Incredible Private Supercar Collection in Miami
Check out this private collection of cars in Miami. The owner has a 928 GTS on display (skip to around the 8:50 mark). Impressive considering the other ultra rare and special cars in the collection.

Apparently he doesn't know the difference between a 928 and a 968 (its at the 10 min mark BTW)

Sorry, but I don't get it. Why would you want multiples of a car where the only difference is paint color. That's just a case of more money than common sense. I love car collections, but this one makes no sense to me.

... did you just insult every 928 owner who has more than one?

Well, that's surreal alright.
There was the also a video posted about the white car collection here not too long ago. Both of them had a similar effect on me.

If any of you ever make it over to Romania, it would be worth spending a visit to Ion Tiriac's (former manager and coach of Boris Becker and Romania's #1 business men) car collection nearby the Bucharest airport. https://tiriaccollection.ro/en

Very nice collection. The guy is clueless about Porsches though.
First he confuses the 968 for a "regular" 928, whatever that means.
Next he brushes off casually the 964 3.6 Turbo S Flachbau (a 911 holy grail), as s special 911
Then he passes by the 2 959s like a couple of beetles..
What Schmuck! I meant Shmee

If they are all different years, fine, but still not my cup of tea. I fully understand you owning your 928 and your Turbo, but you have to admit the 928 can't hold a candle to the Turbo. If I had a place for a 2nd car it would be a 928, but my Turbo S would still be my daily driver.

I guess the cool thing about a private car collection is you can use whatever criteria you want.
That Shmee guy's videos have always bugged me though...

As a daily-driver the 991 Turbo can’t be beat IMO. It’s like a very well-trained panther that you could ‘sic’ on your mortal enemies or use as a ‘seeing eye cat’ in a grocery store. The twin-screwed ‘91GT is like a baby-dragon on a leash: folks aren’t quite sure what it is and it’s not good at all in the shopping aisles.

Dave, Jim: We must face the truth. Even owning one 928 means you have more money than sense,
But all you need for a 991 is money. For 928s you need something more.

With all due respect - when the 991.2 Turbo S came out my local Porche Centre loaned me a car for a weekend - in return they wanted my 996.1 GT3 CS in their showroom. I enjoyed the performance of the 991 a lot, but overall it left me totally stone cold. It is not a 911 - I came out of it wondering whether I had stepped out from the family bus at the time - a BMW E61 M5 Wagon - yes, the family load lugger fitted with one of the craziest normally aspirated engines ever to grace the Earth.
The 991 is so big and so composed and so neutered in the visceral thrills department that I have zero hankering after one. As a daily - yes, it will be immense. However, I may as well buy the new 4x4 M5 - more all round abiluty and almost as devastatingly fast point to point in real life...
