Question Question of the Day - Attention All 996 Owners

Amigo’s here’s an interesting question my 10 year old asked my this past weekend “Daddy if you couldn’t afford your PORSCHE, what car would you get” I replied “ Mostly likely the Infiniti G35 Coupe, dollar for dollar, I think it’s the best coupe out there” - So I ask you guys the same - your limit is 32K - what would you choose.

prob the STi since I can get it for about 7K off sticker (grad school buddy works for Subaru North America). But I will agree with userID 1999Pporsche911. I would save, invest then buy the porsche in a few years.

Don't laugh, but we just picked up my wife's new Mini Cooper S MC-40 limited edition with the JCW performance upgrade yesterday. I washed it this morning to get the salt off of it from the boat ride over (RejeX planned for this weekend). This thing has over 200 h.p. and is a total blast! It handles like a go-kart, handles corners better than most vehicles on the road, and goes like hell! I'm going to put a few mods on it to squeeze a few more horses out of it, but I'm telling you, the thing is a total blast to drive!

1977-79 930 turbo for old. I wouldn't mind a 964 RS America too but it's past 32K I think. P-car all the way!!! Regards. Mike PS.-For a new car G35 is very nice but gotta go for the EVO 8-performance outweighs the look. Regards. Mike
