so…. this is getting ridiculous.

some dealers. barge over msrp for gt3 992.
sure
we get used to it and deal with it

now a friend went to new Porsche dealership ontario calif

they flat out ask for ADM and require u buy a porsche watch …. now enough is enough

porsche makes a few cars that’s decent but make zero
watch worth wearing

just a little ticked off with some store tactics. friend is too nice. I would have dropped my shorts and asked them to suck my ***** then i’ll buy a few cars from
them…


ONTARIO porsche new store
just so u all know which store it is

Fantastic watch Mooty and thanks for giving us a heads up on Ontario.

Got some seat time in my my friends new to him Cayman R yesterday. Perfect street car. Right size. Right power. Needs more sound (he'll be adding an exhaust soon). Mooty and Carol are right, phenomenal car. Modern cars are way too quick for the street and this proves my point. This was perfect. My 997.1 GT3 is still ideal for me as a raw, pinnacle of Porsche engineering, but this is hard to argue against.

Agree. Caman R is truly awesome. Never seen one that color. Looks sharp.

Now imagine it with a BGB 3.8L conversion. Not overwhelming power wise; just strong!

I have been sick for a few months! First time driving, I came out on a 250mi trip.

How is Mooty? How is everyone doing?

Sorry for non Porsche content I was in the mood for a different vibration! I own 2 of these and 100% identical. One with 9K miles and one with 96K miles, the latter drives a whole lot better!

I drove one of the original M3's on a windy road once, and it was one of the funnest cars I've ever driven!

Very sorry to hear you’ve had a lengthy illness. Glad you’re back on your feet and behind the wheel. Gorgeous photo! Wishing you the best of health!

Thx for posting! I had an e30 M3 back in the late 90's early 2000's, loved it at the time, miss it terribly now. Truly one of my top 3 most enjoyable cars I have ever owned. Way ahead of its time! The only car I have ever owned that actually saved my life. That's a longer story for another day.

Great shot and beautiful car. I think the one thing we can all agree on is that this thread rarely is limited to Porsche only content. I think that's part of what makes it great.

I have also owned one of these M3 - an evolution 1 model back around 1989/90. It was Macau Blue - a bit like Porsche Iris Blue but metallic, had a purple color under sunlight. It is probably the one car I think I shouldn't have sold. But that's hindsight - how was I to know the E36 M3 was not as good?
