Default Who needs a 991 when you have the 961??

Life for porsche lovers just got better with a ferrari 458 and mp4 12C beater coming in the future. Just in case you couldn't decide what to do with a large chunk of cash. Here's your answer.

Not in my price range but like to see Porsche continuing with the R&D in the hopes of the "trickle down" effect!

I may not "need" the 991 but I'd sure like to keep the $200,000+ difference in price!

I rode in my Friends MP4, Thursday. That is going to be hard to beat. But Porsche has done it before and often. He is on the list for the new McClaren but they wanted a deposit. He is thinking 10k 20K but NO $150K! He may be going back to Porsche

Yikes. Tell him I know a very nice Carrera GT he can get into for only half a million.

Ah hah- I knew there was a future for Lotus! Just hadn't realized it was Lotus 1.2.3.
