RE: Porsche quality and QPR

Porsche GT cars are underpriced based on performance, durability, quality, etc. especially vis-a-vis similar or comparable competitor offerings.

Porsche non-GT cars (911 Carreras, Caymans, Macans, Cayennes, Panny, etc.) are overpriced based on similar or comparable competitor products.

This is why Porsche GT cars are such bargains (at least at MSRP)

the issue is I am use to v8’s and high powered tourque based cars and never had a GT3 before.
Previous P car was a PDK twin turbo and I thought the GT3 would be better . For me it was not.
So Amg gtr should do the job

And that’s only using 3 gears .
It’s not a car for public roads to get any enjoyment from it. Unless of course you are prepared to go to some decent risks.
I agree, I don't think the car is a good choice for road-only use. But for the track, the GT3 continues to blow my mind and IMO is worth every penny.

Excellent stable!!! Those two definitely will attract different type of exciting women............more spontaneous younger highlighted blonde type with the Coach bag with the lava car........more sophisticated older brunette or slate grey type woman with the Longchamps bag with the Mercedes.....

The reality is women don't give a crap about cars. And both cars will just attract middle-aged men who think their diesel truck is faster.

I think you're right.
As for color, I'm honestly losing my mind over what to choose this time. Easier with only four colors...

You guys crack me up! Here’s where I’m at. I’m already blessed to have the most amazing and exciting woman in the world. We just had a baby 3 weeks ago (boy #2). So all I care about is which car my kids would prefer to ride in. My wife says I’m crazy if she’s going to let me take either kid in anything with 2 doors right now. I fit a baby seat (albeit the wrong way) in the GTR a few weeks ago and she nearly lost her sh**. Hahaha!

My 2 year old has frequently ridden in my Viper since we turned her seat forward at 1. I don't see the issue as long as the airbag is deactivated.
