I've never driven a 911 Porsche, of any variant. Sat in quite a few. My impression of the driving experience, from being in the passenger seat, and from what the owners tell me, is very good. And 911s are known to be a driver's car. I was kinda surprised reading his comment.

I feel him on the 997TT it is not connected to the road I owned one and while the Cayman is fun and sporty the engine even on the "S" lacks real power..Let him drive GT2/3 or a CGT this is what a Porsche was always meant to be and what cars like the 993 idealized..connection to the road
raw feeling and no nonsense.

PS nice Z06

 

I think the more non-P owners drive them the more they like them, I agree that the hardcore 930/993 feeling is no longer there (except for GT2/GT3), but everything evolves, so does the P-car, and you can still get the GT2/3.

I do agree that if Porsche would put more HP in the Cayman it would compete directly with the 911

As for the sound, I think most around here agree, that is one thing that needs to be changed for the better

Just my 0.02

 

You can never convince a F car guy that a porsche is better. The fact that a 997TT is a superior car to the F430 sticks in their craw.

 

C4S agree completely, not even looking at the price and maintenance cost

 

Never driven a Porsche nor a Ferrari but my opinion is that people buy porsches to be driven and perhaps not noticed by the public where-as ferrari owners want to be noticed.

 

I wouldn't take that F-chat post seriously as we don't know where this guy is coming from... yet putting the cars side by side for 350 miles (like I did) can give you a better idea... The 997TT for far less $$$ gives you more speed, more driveability, more utility yet the Ferrari brings an exotic feel, tremendous engine sounds and is a serious babe/attention magnet... if I could afford both, I buy both, I could only afford one I take the 997TT and pocket the big change to visit Todd and get some headers, exhaust, wheels... ohh no, I have already done that...


then I would head out and get me a nice babe... done that too...


mmmhhh... I guess the only thing left is to go get that Ferrari money...

 

Frissen couldn't agree more

 

Frissen, very well said. Now you need to get your hands on some of that F car money fast and take a BETTER picture of the lady, just like the ones of the cars. I say this so as we are fair to the female sex and that way you cannot be labeled as a car over cute girl photo law suit.
