ok we all know the 928 is our favorite porsche,,,but if you had to chose another what would it be??

lets say the 928 was never made (then hell frooze over the world imploded ect..) what type of porsche would be your favorite??

personally(and some say weirdly) mine would be the 914,,,so throw in yer input

what would be your second choice??

 

Depending on budget and whether I'd have two cars or just one:

Porsche 968 or 944 S2
Nissan 300ZX
Mazda RX-7 (still miss the '86 I had in Germany)
Audi TT
Infinity G35 coupe
Mercedes CLK 300 coupe
Aston Martin DB-9 (I wish...)

If I was living in Germany, I'd drive one of these:
- Audi TT (if I could afford it)
- Renault Megane turbo diesel
- or something similar to the above, maybe even smaller...

 

any late model Lotus

 

It was the V8 that hooked me. Second choice would not be a Porsche, I'm afraid, though I have yet to drive a Cayenne. Second choice in this class of car might be a late XK-8 or S. I haven't given much thought to what I would want if there were no 928... because there IS the 928.

 

A Ruf 993.

Or a tiptronic transmission in my 914/6 2.7L. ( I bought the 928 on advice of a surgeon who had just removed part of the cartilage in my left knee and advised me to drive a clutchless car.)

Or if money was no object, a road version of the GT1, no question about it. I am only about $950,000.00 short today. But I have a piggy bank.

The Ferrari 456 has a certain appeal to me. I followed one on Hwy. 280 once and it moved pretty well. Right size and equipment. Am not excited about reputed maintenance costs, though.

Oh yeah, the Acura NSX. Drove one once, and liked it alot. And I think it is a beautiful machine, an honest espression of form following function aesthetically.

 

993 or 968

 

Porsche: 911 C-2 Turbo , Porsche 944turbo S.-Other: Ferrari 288GTO ,-1985 Lamborghini Countach LP 500, Lotus Elise, Tucker, Model T and Model A ford. Mike

 

Oh, was this a "money no object" question? Carrera GT then, definitely.

 

My second choice would not be a P-Car I am afraid. The 928 was the only Porsche that ever even remotely interested me. Probably would still have the F 328.

 

This...and it will happen as soon as I convince my wife about the whole owning-two-Porsches thing.

 

Definately a 996TT.

Regards,

 

The whole "money no object" car has been done too many times before. Assuming you would replace the 928 with something of comparable price now, (not when new), I think I would target a 968. They can be found at about S4 prices. Boxsters are getting affordable, under $20K. But maybe a Miata instead, with a lot of $$$$ left over for serious engine upgrades! Of course, despite the fact it is a ricer, how bout a Subaru WRX? The WRX STi is still a little over 928 S4 prices though.
I'm sure there are some others I'm forgetting.....

That is a good point Rich.

I'm screwed. What could I get for $7300? I guess I'd go with a Buell and invest in some rain gear.

Regards,

 

I'd settle for a nice 1990 911 hardtop.

Money out the window, a 959.

Another make, a Testarossa or Jaguar XKE 12-cylinder.

 

My next favorite Porsche, and possibly added to the 928 in the not too distant future is a '91 to '94 C2 Turbo. Would prefer a 3.6 Turbo S, but would settle on the old 3.3l.
