the 2.7 carrera only nr. 8? Much too low! It is perhaps the all time best IMHO. What are the top ten anyway? Please let the cat out of the bag. The magazine only arrives in Zurich in about a week...

Too many race cars eh!! I think they were wanting to include the ones that have been good for Porsche as a Company, not just as drivers cars!

1994 993 GT2
1995 Carrera 993RS
1999 GT3
2000 996 Turbo
2001 GT2

Their selection as the best: 1973 Carrera 2.7 RS

Oh yes, I still have that copy of EVO--great article! Filling out the top 3 were the 996 GT3 and the 964 RS (euro), in no particular order.

Finally got a copy of the magazine with the supplement "top 100 Porsches". What weird ranking...
