After reading this thread most 911 owners will run to their bmw store and pick up the M3 instead.

I dont know about you but the older M3s are all really good (e30, e36, e46 etc.) are all "raw" cars that cars nowdays do not have. Even the e36, its not as bad as you might think it is. A member here has a blue E36 M3 and it looks SICK. Handles really good and he came from a e92 335i tuned, and is running much faster times with couple hundred HP LESS on the track (PR, Mission) with his e36 compared to his 335. Then we have our local Auto-X expert who drives a e36 (lowside67) who loves his e36 and always places top in most auto-x events locally and nationally i believe as he participates in auto-x events in the states too, so I wouldn't hint that e36 owners are unhappy with their e36. The E9x M3 is a good car but after test driving one it just doesn't feel anywhere as "raw" as its predecessors. But that doesn't make it any less of a fast/good car. But then again, everyone is different, like their taste in cars.

and Yes to your second statement, after this thread Marco makes most porsche owners want to go away and hide since most Porsche owners here aren't exactly drive the car for the whole "0-60" speed but how the car handles and drives on the streets or track (Z3guy, Rich Sandor, Obsideon are a few to name here that are porsche owners here on RS) who could care less if their car isn't as fast as other cars off the line. Its about the driving experience.

0-60: MILES PER HOUR!?
1/4 Mile: Any, all taken at the same speed, regardless of condition.

Holy shit, that is a wicked machine. Got anymore info on it, build thread? Besides the ridiculous hp rating:P

It's a '73 Land Rover Series III 88" station wagon on a military chassis. That's an old picture though; it's no longer green. I rebuilt everything and stuck it on a new galvanized military chassis. The motor is a 2.25L four cylinder with a 2.5L cam in it and an 8.5:1 compression ratio and balanced and blueprinted internals; more to minimize vibration than anything else. The transmission and transfer case were rebuilt with new bearings, syncros and seals, and I also ordered a Fairey overdrive and subsequently rebuilt it as well. All steel-to-aluminum joins have been rubber isolated or replaced with aluminum pieces wherever possible to avoid galvanic corrosion, all fasteners are stainless where possible, and I parkerized all the unique steel pieces that can't be bought. The firewall was torn down and all rusting sections cut away and replaced before dipping in epoxy coating and painting. The entire front end is new, with the exception of the differential itself. All running gear is coated in POR-15 under gloss black. The suspension now has a two inch lift with parabolic springs, and it has Interco TrXus tires; six in total (four rolling, hood-mounted spare, interior-mounted spare). All the galvanized trim was stripped and redone, and the bodywork was taken to bare Birmabright (the alloy Land Rover made the body from) and primed and painted with minimal bodywork and no bondo.

It still looks like an old truck thanks to the fair share of dings and dents it now has (the bondo was a quarter inch think in places under the brushed-on latex paint), but it's stupidly solid throughout and I enjoy its simplicity. It's slow as hell and its loud enough inside that I'm going to install a British army headset communications system... but it's tough as nails, ready for another 600,000+ kilometres, and goes a goodly distance on the 200 litres of gas that it can carry. Of course, after pumping that much into it, it sort of feels like you're driving a bomb. The only other things I plan to add is a combination of limited slip and locking differentials, stronger axles, disc brakes, and a megasquirt EFI setup.

But as it is, it's easy to drive around Vancouver, since it's basically got the footprint of a new Mini with better sight lines. Makes parking and merging a breeze, and the seven passenger or 3/4 ton cargo capacity is nice... but as practical as it is, I always look forward to summer...

Sorry, I may have came off ignorant on my end I did not mean to bash the car.

My main argument is that Marco is extremely ignorant, Porsche owners love their cars due to the handling mainly

Marco911. i had to join the rs community prettymuch just for this thread, no i dont want to be on the list or part of this immature 12 year old contest of whoes cars fast. I am not intended to brag whatsoever, i respect everycars, but i just have to blow your dreams that my c63 amg is faster than your car and its also more common than your porsche c4s surprisingly at least from my experience. so your wrong sir. plus stop trying to act all innocent like you dont know what you have caused

I think he's about to start another thread called who has the most money in the bank account.

I have never defended the popped collar look. People make up stuff about me all the time.

I think Marco is now bumped from the Top 5 in this thread ....

Berz out.

Ok, it behooves you to find ONE professional racer who ARGUES that RWD is superior to AWD.

and 959 was a flop. only ~300 made, wasn't even road legal until late 90's and as a result it failed to compete against the supercars of that time such as F40.

Lol. 959 is a masterpiece of engineering. If you had any appreciation for the technical merits of a vehicle or its innovation, you'd know this.

Oh you think I was arguing that owning a couple of nice cars makes me an elite? What do YOU think makes an elite, an elite?

Sure you may be rollin in a some tight rides but shit son comin on like this just screams FAG

At least I'm not dumb enough to make homophobic comments while representing a business.

I'm surprised, usually all this talk of German cars results in a lot more ass-kissage. Where's the love Revscene?

Oh, and my previous post was actually an official submission into the pissing contest.
