I'm content with my lowly 11th place finisher. She's still #1 in my book. Can't wait to go drive it again.

Yesterday I was blasting around in my .2 Manual and I was even thinking to Myself -"It can not get better than this SOB". It is just so visceral and the Engine comes for heaven. Plus- the Wing is so beautifully integrated with the engine cover.
I agree with the article and really could care less if I never drive any of the others' mentioned in the article

He wrote this article specifically to incite a discussion like this where a bunch of people get butt hurt that their car wasn’t placed higher, and to get views and clicks. I bet he had rennlist outrage in mind when he wrote it.

I like Jonny Lieberman but he's never link the Touring, his reason, it's a circumcised GT3. We'll his wife choose him and he's circumcised, strange.

I've got a great 50th Anniversary car (#2) that I might be willing to trade for a 911R (#3).

The rankings are always subjective, but good to see what others think/feel. Cars are emotional, and honestly everyone would rank differently and no one is wrong because it’s your personal emotion. Many flavors to tick your emotional box, and just enjoy what you love/not worry what other cars you will be much happier.

"Porsche Collector Jeff Cherun's Top Four 991 Models
Jeff Cherun is a former hi-fi audio journalist and serious Porsche collector living in Los Angeles but originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. When I first met Jeff, he began telling me about some of his P-cars. I stopped him and said, 'What, do you have a warehouse stuffed with Porsches?' He replied, 'No, I have an airplane hangar stuffed with Porsches.' We've been best car buds ever since, and I figured getting an owner to weigh in on the pantheon of 991s would prove educational. Here is his list, as well as comments about his cars:
911 R: The 911R is Porsche's modern hot rod, a raw, fun, manual screamer. Not great for date night, as it is very loud with so much insulation removed, but great for a Sunday morning solo jaunt up the Pacific Coast Highway. The manual transmission is sublime.
991 GT2 RS: A maniacal automotive locomotive that needs to be pushed to really be appreciated (and scare the driver). This is best enjoyed on your favorite on-ramp--it's all instant velocity and blurred scenery.
991 Speedster: A cruiser and a convertible with carbon-fiber bodywork aplenty, coupled with a superb manual transmission and the fabulous GT3 engine. It can be a great weekend getaway car or a nice "summer cruise to dinner with the wife" car. The perfect California open-top car.
*991.1 GT3 RS: This is a PDK-equipped, Porsche RS marvel, with a slightly softer and compliant suspension than the 991.2 version. This is a favorite for canyon drives on the weekends. Love the raw sports-car sounds, which are sure to make any occupant and passersby smile."

Not sure where this is coming from. After all, the "winner" of this guy's top ten list is the winged 991.2 GT3 which has DNA far closer to the Touring than to the 991 R. I've yet to meet a Touring owner (and I have met many, being one myself) who would rather have the R than the Touring. The endless, never to be won debate gift that just keeps on giving...
