Owning a Porsche

Are we talking on the track? I would say you'd be hard pressed to find a better track car than a gt3 at any price without heavy modding done right and costing alot of $$ Since there's a high likelihood that the OP is just trolling, I would say that OP should point out some cars that he feels would kill a Pcar. We can discuss them on a case-by-case.

In my neck of the woods, that would be a Ford F150 lifted and with flames off the wheel wells.

You actually raise an interesting point . Most guys when younger dream of owning a high end sports car as a "chick magnet" but the reality I have observed is that more women than not tend to comment on cars that they themselves would buy . A white convertible BMW would probably get more compliments than a modded up Gt2 . On the other hand the women who do drool on the Lambos and porsches might like the car yet rarely would buy one . Perhaps complimenting the car serves as an ego stroke for the guy they hope to impress as they consider their own early retirement .

Porsche actually made a commercial along these lines with the 996.

Porsche is popularly known as among the best cars in the world. The popularity of Porsche car remains to be in its stable stand as it remains to be in the hallmark of the world’s best car brands.

Next year I'll be entering my fifth decade of Porsche driving/ownership. I started driving them before they were 'cool' and produced in significant numbers. They have been very careful to maintain a sense of what's important to their customers,--

(1) handling performance

(2) quality of its engineering/design

(3) reliability

Sometimes more exotic, faster, cars have two of those,--but they always lack #3.

This is exactly right. Driving in its purest form - 'Cars Are My Life' by Ferry Porsche.
