Great thread. I have a big tent; that is, I like/see the appeal of lots of cars. Unfortunately I don't have the space. That being said, I'm on several waitlists for the new Caddy CT5-V Blackwing with a 6MT; seems like a good complement to the 997. Waiting...

1970 Pontiac Bonneville 455 for some classic American muscle (and perfect ice cream getter) and 2015 Chevy SS/Holden Commodore SSV Redline 6MT for the daily.

Same, complete lack of space and my wife strangely refuses to park on the driveway

The CT5-V Blackwing is a great choice. Completely gorilla sedan does seem like a good complement.

How do you carry bicycles?

Brit V8 complements the 911 perfectly!

I’ve been considering picking up a used Mustang Mach 1 or Challenger wide body scatpack in a couple years if prices ever become sane again. My wife needs a new car first. Out of garage space so would need to park outside (911 stays inside) so don’t want to drop too much coin on an outdoor car.

The Mach 1 seems pretty appealing with that 5.0 and tremac manual but the Challenger seems a lot more useful.

These are the cars my 997 Carrera S has shared the garage with over the last 13 years

2008 Shelby GT500
2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca
2016 Shelby GT350
2017 Corvette Grand Sport
2018 Porsche 718

Everyone of them were epic. I kept the Corvette and both Porsches.

I had a 2017 SS MANUAL (of course!) that I daily drove for about two years. Lots of fun, very spacious and a good highway cruiser. It was a nice compliment to the 997. Would do it again.
