This is so hilarious. What if we have a few of the cars already??

I have driven all the cars except for the 911R, 917, 964RS 3.8 and 962, GT1. Driven: CGT, 4.0, RS everything, 550, 356, 993GT2, Cup car, 964Turbo, 993 TTS, Andial 993, etc etc etc


Personally I'd take a road legal GT1 or 917. The 904 is too small for me. I also saw a pair of 908s recently, and while they are sexy, don't really pack the punch of a GT1 or 917.

If there could only be ONE, I'd have to take something that could legit do 200mph. And I'd be there at Rennsport, etc


unrequested info for those on the fence (one mans opinion)


best 991- debatable between RS and R.
best 997- no debate, the 4.0RS (second place GT2RS)
best 996- lol
best 993- GT2, RS Clubsport 2nd place
best 964- RS 3.6 (because you can drive it ***** out and it's faster in a straight line, more sketchy, no aero)
best G series- 89 930
best long hood- 3.0RSR
best 4 cam- 550
best road legal prototype- GT1, second place 904-6
best pure race prototype- RS Spyder or 917

best car to impress babes- CGT
best car to impress old santa claus looking dudes- 356 Speedster clone with weird hot rod engine

I like what I have,but I need to become a better driver. Track is cool but you damage the finish of your car quickly and the wear and tear items are very expensive(tires,brakes etc). On the street you will lose your license and end up in jail,it's as simple as that. New cars are too fast. Taking the car out to the local C&C and rev it in the parking lot once a month is not my thing...
You need 2 things no matter what : lots and lots of money and a very very expensive high profile lawyer on 24Hr call. People might think differently,but they're just lying themselves or have both. I don't...
Also,one of these new cars out of warranty...very unreliable...when they break...and break they will,you need to have lots of ^^^back to point one. Or just trade before warranty expires,like most do anyway...

That is why I'd probably have a 964...and I probably will at some point. It's the best looking 911 IMO...I like simple mechanical things...fix it up/make it reliable and enjoy. It's not too fast either...

1967-ish 911S in a bright color (bahama yellow or metallic green).

As echoed by others, I like simple mechanical things..... though I would not say no to an R.

I got to see a 993 RS last weekend and it was pretty cool but I'd still take a 904. I like the more gentlemen racer era cars over the crazy factory race cars.

A Porsche for free?

910 (serial 006 or 025) or 911 GT1 (serial 993-117).

I'll happily pay for my Porsche daily driver.

Similar to CJ, I would choose a 917 if that's an option. If not, how about a 935 Moby Dick style. Would also love a 550 Spyder.
