Ok, having listed my Top 5 water-cooled 911 list in my 911R vs. 991.2 GT3 review thread, I would like to start a thread for the Top 5 water-cooled Porsches.

Here is my Top 5 Water-cooled Porsches list:

1. 980 Carrera GT
2. 918 Spyder
3. 997 GT3RS 4.0
4. 991 911R
5. 991 GT2RS

Are we doing a Water-Cooled list only due to the forum we're in?

1. CGT
2. RS 4.0
3. GT2 RS
4. (Maybe) 991 Speedster
5. 911R

will daily the 911R and GT2 RS. Alternate the two between wifey and me. Other 3 are for weekends or after work mountain driving. Can't wait. Until then, I'm enjoying the Cayman S

5. CGT

Honorable mention 997-4.0

Any 991 GT under warranty to flog at the track will do until the next 992/718 gtX hit the floor.

That, plus I had a super hard time coming up with my all time Top 5 air-cooled list! There are too many good air-cooled Porsches over the years

The Dauer technically wasn't build by Porsche

Well, it couldn't have been built without Porsche

Can't believe no one has mentioned the 996 rs. in many respects it's the car imo that's most worthy to be right at the top. Well that or the 996 gt3 as the gt3 is very similar to the rs.

It's the type of car that Porsche just doesn't make anymore as a focused 'pure' driver's car and delivered the closest experience to the motorsport car of the time and at an actually semi reasonable price point where most people could actually get to enjoy the car. the cgt is a phenomenal driving experience but both in terms of upfront and running costs is in a different planet from the 911s and even the relatively analogue 997 is a far more cosseted driving experience while the 991s for all their massive capability are just different cars to drive altogether.

How about the 996.1 GT3? I've never driven one, but some people say this is the sweetest handling of all the GT3's (never officially imported here)...

1. What no one can have
2. What I have but others can't have
3. What I have and paid stupid ADM for
4. What I have
5. What I really wish I had but can't have (unless no one else can either, then see #1)

Amirite?
