Default If you could choose any 2 Porsches

The question is inspired by a thread on the Boxster/Cayman forum where a poster asked about whether 911 Owners later bought a 981 or 718.

Seems a a lot of us have been cycling through different Porsches trying to find the perfect stable of 2 (at least those of us who can afford 2 but can’t afford or justify or manage to keep 3 or more).

so what is your current theory?

come May, I’ll take delivery of a GT3 Touring which will join my 981 Spyder, a pair I’m hoping will keep me happy for awhile. I’m more of a weekend driver who likes to take my car on a long drive through twisty country roads (southeast Ohio for me), and thanks to Smokies GT, at least annually to a track and some more varied mountain drives.

Certainly if I were more into tracking, an RS or at least a winged GT3 with PDK would be more of a want and/or a GT4. But I’ve already been there/done that for awhile when I had a 991.1 GT3 and a GT4 at same time. For whatever reason, GT4 just didn’t click with me as much as I’d hoped. I’m finding the 981 Spyder a lot more fun than I remember the GT4 being. And the GT4 wasn’t near as exciting or eventful to drive aggressively in the mountains as the 991.1 GT3 was, despite my love for a manual transmission.

Money no object? 991 GT2 RS and a 918.

Real money? My current 991.2 GT3 PDK and either a new Cayenne S with the 2.9 turbo or the refreshed Macan Turbo with the same 2.9 turbo. That’ll be the baby hauler for the wife.

I want what I have, not what I don’t have...

997.2 Turbo S in Platinum Silver and the incoming 991.2 GT3 manual in Irish Green...

Money not an issue, I'd choose a Carrera Gt and a 1973 RS. Two of the most iconic Porsches ever!

Assuming I could keep my Jeeps, I would do Spyder and probably an air cooled 964 turbo.
