911 GT1 (SN 993-117 or -104)
910 (SN 025 or 006)

Since two is the limit, I’d pick one of the above, keep my Cayenne GTS (for regular street use) and Ferrari race car.

A 500hp Singer would do me, no need for another Porsche. Hot rod, daily driver, occasional family duties (very young kids), maybe track it now and then. Perfect.

Regardless of money
981 Spyder
991.2 manual GT3

if I would add a third, it would be 911 991.2 4S targa with manual transmission

4.0RS for track, 911R for street.
Older race cars and street versions of those are more to be admired as pieces of art (for me), and I’d like to drive my cars.
Other manufacturers seem to me to be better at making family cars.
Porsche is for me about 911 and motorsport.
Best, w

ha you and I think alike! I plan to keep my RS and my touring. Not sure I can see changing it after that. A 500hp singer would be an ultimate goal. One day I may consolidate all the toys into a singer.

Waxer your stealth lava is constantly has me wondering whether to do that on my touring...it’s the best lava around.

As some have chosen and I'm lucky enough to own:

Carrera GT
997 4.0 RS

To me they represent the pinnacle of Porsche from the 911 perspective and the overall engineering perspective and prowess

If two truly modern, 981 spyder and upcoming 3rs.

Yes, this is a weak, I can't really decide, 2-Car post. Which is why my minimum is probably 3-4 toys: LH, 964/993rs, 997gt and CGT (and a revolving latest-greatest new Porsche product).

I can’t justify two new porsches, but I would have innumerable collector ones if I had the garage space.

GT3T and my 95 993 C4 cab should do for my two. I would prefer a 993 turbo cab, but I don’t have $1.5 or whatever to get one.

+1. I went through this decision with the factor of what was a reality for me and have what I feel is the best mix. GT3 as track focus and Turbo as street focus. In my case the GT3 is a 996 and the turbo is a 997.2 TTS
