You have serious issues.
Maybe switch to decaf?
Take a walk?
Have a beer?
Stop drinking beer?

Just suggestions.

As a 993 C2S owner, I cheerfully admit that 996's and 997's will blow the doors off of my car, and that I paid more for lesser performance, less creature comforts, safety features, etc., and probably build quality, too. Those Japanese manufacturing techniques are meant to reduce defects, yes?

Let's face it, buying a Porsche of any stripe is not a completely rational decision, is it? No clear thinking individual would lust after a car that eats expensive tires so damn quickly or cost so much to maintain, would they?

We should realize that ALL of us on this board have but varying degrees of the same irrational affliction....

Lusting after a Ford GT or anything else!!....of course you get it. I don't care if it's a Pacer, if it "speaks" to you, than you get it.

Now thats the best one I have heard all day! Should we start talking about profit among the different 911 models? Or resale, perhaps?

original is too much. superformance SPF GT40 is cool but not available in canada. fat copy still has 550 hp and is faster than original GT40

“Now, to put a water-cooled engine in the rear and to have the radiator in the front, that's just not very intelligent."
