OT: An Observation about 6speed

Has 6speed become the most visited P-related website? I subscribe to several Porsche-related sites and have been noticing that there seem to be more visitors/threads on this site particularly when discussing the newer water-cooled Porsches (after the 993). I certainly tend to get faster and a greater number of responses to my questions here. I wonder if others who also participate in other forums have the same experience. Or maybe this is just a more "talkative" group of folks.

Depends on what you're looking for. The 6 is clearly the source for water-cooled models whose owners crave big HP, straight line performance.
Pelican and Rennlist cater to a completely different owner, IMO.

Thanks...i was thinking of the base 991 for some DD and DE fun but the buffering has me put off for now.

Was on the track yesterday with several gt3's and gt3rs's and there is something special about them.

Not sure what next car will be but I can't count 991 out.

Just saw the topic and decided to comment. I have ZERO interest in getting a 991. I'll reserve final judgement when the GT and Turbo variants come out though

I love my beast as well....think it will be in the stable for quite some time to come yet.

I have yet to drive a 991. I have sat in one, definitely a different environment. I compared it to sitting in a 993 then a 997, meaning the change seems that radical from the 997 to 991. The 993 had a raw feel to it, now after being a 991, my 997 has a raw feeling. The 991 definitely feels more like a saloon then a sports car on the inside. I think my wife would like it!
