Sup fellas! New to the forum here, just curious as to what other people think. To be honest, I think the X50 is the best one that has yet come out, after the C-GT that is. What does everybody else think?

the 959 is the best ever. period.

the 993 TT is best best realistic car, IMHO, factoring in exterior experience. factoring in overall performance and technology, the 996 TT is the best. that can be your daily driver with no problems, regardless of weather conditions.

Best all around car 996 TT.

Off topic. How's that Dinan S/C? I thought it was still in development.

Well you did not specify street...or track.

All around , track is going to have to be superior........as mentioned, 962 has earned its place (so has GT1 with 1st and 2nd @ 98 LeMan)...absolutely incredible car, and historically a fine effort for Porsche.

Now, when you throw the basis of that engine in a road-going car for the general public....you have the current Turbo.
This is a car that has so much fun and potential waiting to be utilized (want 600 bhp? ) it certainly has to be recognized as one of Porsche's best products for the masses.
I continue to enjoy the car immensely (every time I'm out on the track.....and also, firing her up and heading home after a long day at work )...............thank you Porsche.
