2017 C2, I call it a base. It's in the office parking lot and I'm getting ready to drive the heck out of it.

Please, manual transmission only.

The Cayman was a lot of fun. I loved the 2.7 engine as it would really scream when driving it hard.
<<- However, my favorite is the one I have now.

I'd like to have a 993 and/or pre-73 911, too. I would be fun to do a fractional ownership with these.

My first P car was a 997 C2S Cab and I really wanted to love that car, but I just didn't. Next was a Panamera Turbo which I really, really liked, but it fell short of "love". It was an awesome car, fast, comfortable (drove it in and out of NYC to work almost every day, put 77k miles on it in 5.5 years, never had a problem with it). But...it just wasn't a sports car. And I missed having one. And the new 991.2 T4 GTS is it, and I can truly say I'm loving it. I love the way I spec'd it, I think it's the best looking P car, and it's amazing to drive.

Have owned 3 and currently own two. The 991.1 GTS and Panny GTS are different tools for different jobs but I cannot think of a better combination for my lifestyle.

Best Pcar ever for me would be the 959, wish I owned one.

Best of those I've owned and I love my current 991 4S would be my past 997.2 TT. Fast, visceral, and driveable every day. Loved that car.

This. Easily the one I'd like to have back the most.

Most fond memories - 98 993-S modded out with turbo brakes, sport seats, 5- point harnesses, coil overs. So many fun times on the track and gorgeous. Too slow though in just a few years.
Most worry free - 2005 987-S - loved the drop top, handling, and I didn't worry about it so much when it was parked.
Most exciting - 2007 Gt3 - should have kept it but got tired of leaky seals and it was too low
Best all around - 991.1 C2S. Loving it for comfort, looks, features...OK miss some of the rear engine feel and steering feel but hey can't have it all!

The Spyder is easily my favorite of 2. I had an '02 Targa and was so annoyed with it I became convinced that Porshe's were over rated. The second I drove this car I knew I was wrong.

Like other have said, all my P cars have been "favorites" but if I had to pick I can narrow it down to two.

The first was a 914-based race car. Special because I built it myself and learned suspension tuning (and welding, engine building, race driving--quite different from just track driving, and more).

The other was my 1989 C4. Special in part due to the car itself, and then because I owned it during the years I lived in Alaska. I used the C4 as a DD, including in the snow. Those were great driving years.
