Exact same feeling about the 959, not a fan especially in the looks dept.

For that matter, what about the road going 962? Who was it that made those (and opened up the loophole for another LeMans win)?

I agree, they look a bit odd, but what a technologically interesting vehicle. That awd, turbo motor, crazy complicated suspension, etc. From the inside it looks like a normal carrera which is cool.

It's crazy that I already own my dream car: a nicely appointed 993 C4S.

With a blank check to buy another car, I'd add a Singer to the fleet I guess.

I would out-Singer a Singer! Think leather fender liners and gold foil wrapped heater pipes!!!

Or take a Singer and RWB it! With mega spoilers!!!

Everyone would hate me!

But in reality, I would just daily drive a 965!

A nice garage to put them in would be first. I need room for the cars, a lawn chair, and a box to set my glass on. I'd love to have a 9M93RSR. A white one like the black one in the video below. I'd have my car restored by one of the best because I'm stoopid sentimental about it. Then a 73RS.

996TT for everyday driving. Macan Turbo for hauling people and a VERY VERY low to no mileage 993 TT for pure art... probably a couple others too...

Interesting: Most still "air cooled all the way". Other than those who already have, 6 & 7 GT3's aren't even in the running. Must be too vanilla compared to more exciting opportunities….

This is a fun thread...
I see lots of similar taste in us.
What do they say about lottery winners that goes out bankrupt in first year? 70%! my friends...
With that in mind, my picks are, 959,904,997.2 GT3 and 993RS.
I would have love to put CGT but that thing is money pit when it comes to maintenance...
