I’ve had several, but not close to the level of some guys here. Started at 18 (now 32) with (in order) ‘96 camaro SS, ‘01 trans am, ‘12 CT’s-v coupe, ‘16 Z06 and now 991.1 Turbo. Slow progression upmarket. Love the turbo specially with Kline exhaust!!

im very interested in the C8Z, 992 turbo and next amg gt

A test drive just doesn't explain it.
I have been on the fence about getting one. I love the way it looks, have driven multiple times now and really enjoyed it, by and large. For 55-60k for a leftover 2018, it’s a lot of car for the money.

I’ve owned many sporty coupes and including Jags and BMWs but my 991.1 GTS is my first sports car (although some on here believe its more touring than sport).
The GTS has ruined me. I was a sports sedan guy until that purchase.

Numerous M cars and 3 Corvettes including a C6 ZR1. The 991.1 Turbo is by far my favorite. I daily drive a MB 450 GLS which I really like. For every day driving stepping up is better than falling into the seat.

Nothing. I have what I consider a perfect compliment of 911s. A 991.1 GTS PDK cab for daily driving and for trips up the coast and to wine country. And a GT3 Touring for the weekends and...for trips up the coast and to wine country. Eeny meeny miny moe....

At my age I would probably get a Panamara GTS. Saw one at dealer that really tripped my trigger, but as long as I can still get in and out without hurting myself I'm keeping my GTS Cab.

I replaced a 911 TT cab with a Panny TT, then went GT4, now back to 911.

The only thing I would replace a 911 with is another 911. Having said that, I have never replaced sold or traded one as each has its own charm.

I'm replacing the Ferrari with a 911. At first I thought the quirkiness of the cigarette smoking, wine drinking Italians was unique and something I might enjoy. The Ferrari is a very pretty car. But my god, after a few years of that, I just can't take it anymore. Super happy with my decision so there doesn't appear to be anything in my mind that will replace it right now. As the electric cars improve battery development, I can see the Taycan being a viable option.

Yep. The 911 is one of the very few cars remaining that still capture my interest and make driving way more than just A to B

I know this question is from August so not sure if you’ve done anything yet, but I keep my 911 for nice weather and weekends, and daily a 2017 Ford Fusion Sport V6 TT which gets about 35k miles a year. I’m probably going to replace it with something else since Ford isn’t making them past 2019, so leading with a 1 year old CPO Audi S5 Sportback or just go used Audi A6 3.0T Sport or Competition. Both can be had for right around $40k with very low miles.

The best sports cars I've had have been been motorcycles. But in terms of driver engagement the 911 isn't too bad in comparison.
