CNBC's Most desirable Porsches ...The GTS made the list. Show a picture of a S4/GT though.

These figures don't look right to me.

 

Take a look at the picture of the 944

 

NA

 

260 KPH is 161 MPH.

Someone at CNBC is not familiar with the metric system...and even that number is not right...falls below the 171 MPH that PCA claims.

 

161 is correct for S4/GT's from the Porsche Tech Spec book, but it is 171 for the GTS, so they got the wrong pic but the right data for that pic...

 

Because only we can tell the difference between a S4 and a GTS.

 

I hate slide-shows.....

1. 356 #1
2. 356 Speedster
3. 550 Spyder (would be #1 in my book, at least for street cars)
4. 356 Carrera GT Coupe
5. 904 GTS
6. 911S (67-69)
7. 917 K/L/PA/10/30 (1969-1973)
8. 911 Carrera RS (1973-1974)
9. RSR/935 (1974-1979)
10. 944 Turbo 951 - too funny, picture of a N/A, probably an 83-85 too
11. 959 (after the 951??? Lart must work there)
12. 928GTS
13. Carrera 2 Cup Car (1992)
14. Boxster
15. Panamera......dear Lord, why? At least the Cayenne isn't on this list

 

Doesn't match my version of the Spec Book:

 

Sorry George you are right it is 162! 1 mph...nice, thanks for pointing that out. In the Tech Spec book for the 87/88 S4 it lists the max speed at 1/2 DIN weights at 162. I stand corrected....well, actually I never stand, but SIT corrected...

 

I think I'd rather just go around quoting to my friends that CBNC says my car will do 260mph.

No sense in getting bogged down over facts or metric conversions.

 

^^^^^
You know that is one of the reasons why I left Leyland West Ins for my cars... They just COULD NOT GRASP that my '92 had an odometer that read in Km's instead of miles so when I would go over 2500 km's in a year they would nearly double the cost of my policy because they didn't understand that 2500 kms is NOT 2500 MILES...I would have to call and without fail I would get a great product of the CA school system that was to stupid to grasp the concept! Nice to see CNBC has hired that person away from LW! LOL!

 

Where's the 993 Turbo?

How can the Panamera with few road miles, and a lack-of-customer satifaction rating make the list?

I could've made that list up with a Wiki or Google search.

 

Because Porsche has a fantastic marketing department that knew CNBC was putting out this list

 

Yea, and where is the CGT?! Or the GT1-98? Or since they did include some race cars the 962?! That was the most effective and capable race car of all times!
