" I'll still check in to this from from time to time. The price/value/production run threads are always a good for a laugh over a cup of coffee. "
you too?
i have coffee with donuts. no longer read Financial Times, i concentrate on the value/price threads b/c we all know that i am long on the R and need it for retirement.

3. pls take JM out for 20 rounds of drinks. he told me when he's drunk, he sells stuff erroneously..... i will pay you commission to get him drunk. i am sure you can hold more beer than he:
** Rumors are drinks are gonna happen Thursday.

Well yes, the lightness!
But you have to admit, there is no other 911 with the turbo kick like the 3.6 Turbo, last of the single turbo cars.

If there's an argument for modern Porsches at all, which there clearly is, then the R is the best answer out there for me. (as a road car). Otherwise, we'd all be driving around in 964s all the time. (and this is coming from someone who will get a 964RS at some point soon - struggling to justify current prices, ironically...). My opinion, and I won't change it.
If others feel differently, they'll be right for themselves. No issue, and refreshing to see someone admit to selling one!

How about the GT2 version of the 964RS, the 964 Turbo S Leichtbau? It did not have the magnesium wheels, for the first time Porsche used the 18 inch Speedlines on a road car. But the car is truly light, strong, small, and simple. One of my favorite cars.
Had the pleasure of driving both the Leichtbau and the R this past weekend.

I would love to read a comparison between it and a 964 RS 3.8. Both are the pinnacle of the 964, at least from my point of view.

Rennlist is like a broken record. People here constantly talking about:
1. Dealers charging over sticker on their allocation
2. How much their car is worth in today's market
3. Praises/Criticisms on cars they have NEVER driven
I find it fascinating. People who hates the R have never driven one in the real world. What makes it even better is that they compare it to the 997.2 4.0, ANOTHER car that they have NEVER DRIVEN in the real world and praise it like it's the holy grail
Same thing goes with the CGT. How many of you have actually driven a CGT in real life? Yet, almost everyone praises it. Why? Because some journalists says so? Or some owners writes about their experience and loves it?
