Man, this was more difficult than I originally thought when I saw the thread. Heck, this is easy. Then as I began thinking about all the wonderful Porsche's I struggled....only 2? My final two:
CGT
993 Turbo

Why the 2.9 specifically? The current 3.6 in the Macan Turbo PP is great.

Great answers from many. Suppose it depends on how you interpret the question, and I admit I could have qualified it better....
I suppose by definition (“If you could...”), this is “money no object” and “difficulty to procure no object” notion. But, I was thinking of this personally in a mlre
practical way, the way many of us are continually trying to align our current collection.
I also assumed, perhaps mistakenly, that I was asking about have 2 Porsche sports cars and that neither would be your daily beater if you’re someone who, like most of us, has a need for a sedan or SUV for practical tasks, whether such a “practical” 3rd car for you may take the form of a Porsche or not. But, you can’t choose another Porsche sports car for said phantom 3rd car—no 911 TTS presumed in your driveway alongside the 2 you’d pick! If you want/need a 911 TTS as a DD, that’s one of your 2!
So, put another way, if you could have any 2 Porsche’s for pleasure, whatever your pleasure may be whether it is just tooling around town, enjoying C&C events, taking epic weekend drives on beautiful mountain roads, or racing on the track if that’s your thing.

I have, and still do, thought of adding a 911 Turbo... was actually always my dream car. The stereotypical 911 Turbo poster on the wall if some or many of you can recall....nowadays I think a 911TT would be a great 2nd Porsche addition for road/track fun, etc. It's ashame they are so overpriced new now IMHO.... so another reason on why they suffer such a huge depreciation. I think it's best to get one pre-owned/certified for a late model 991 or even yet I also think a 997 Turbo is another fine choice to add as a second (or third) Porsche.
Anyone here with a GT-car plus a 911T? Show us those pics... what an excellent combo that would be.

I got my .2 GT3 in the winged/manual/buckets configuration to cover all bases from road to track as it is my only Porsche and only sports car. (I DD a Land Cruiser.) However, if I had the luxury of having two, I would go back to a GT4 w buckets as my dedicated track car and configure my GT3 with Touring pkg and 18-ways. Not that the GT3 won't be just as much fun on the track as the GT4, if not more, but I'd track harder and more often in a dedicated GT4 as the cost and value-at-risk is more in my comfort zone. And if my GT3 were a touring, I'd probably use it more, if for no other reason than the wife would be more comfortable.
If you let me add a 3rd it would be classic..., and air-cooled...

I’ve never driven a CGT, but it was really a show stopper when it made the rounds at the car shows at launch. The design has aged reasonably well, except for a few things that I could overlook. I’ve heard maintenance on these cars is ridiculous, and money has to factor in somewhere...
