What kind of "options" are you talking about? Anything else is just excessive and unnecessary. Do you even know or understand the 911s spartan origins?

I said that only to indicate base price for comparison. Easier than looking up fully loaded pricing on cars.

[QUOTE=hillmar;7545510]ummm the R8. Looks hella better too.




The 911TT is faster than the R8 and more fun to drive than the GTR.

I don't need to drive a shit car for people to go wow. I can drive a 911 which is a great vehicle and has a much better professional image than a lambo.

As far as 3-Series goes, they are a fun little mass market car but not really in the same league.

Your initial statement was that there are more interesting cars that can be had for 911 money. I didn't realize you were referring to Turbo money which increases the choices considerably.

The Aston Martin does not outperform a 911TT in any objective category. It is more of a GT car than a sports car. The V8 Vantage is an inferior car and it has the same issue that Boxster/Cayman has which is that it is not quite a DB9.

An M5 is a sporty car not a sports car. It is not a driver's car like a 911. Compare it to a Panemera Turbo S.

Easy. It's like choosing to wear a Rolex vs. a Seiko.

For the general public, Porsches probably don't grab that attention because it's a fairly common car nowdays, there's about 8 or 9 911s in the parking garage at my work.

I dont give any attention to any car thats slower than mine,

unless it has something really cool about it.

people who buy track focused porsches (turbos, GT3, GT3rs, GT2rs, etc) are buying them because they want the closest thing to a race car with a license plate. That's it...if you want a look at me car, go buy a lambo.

If you are spending $180K plus a porsche that looks like a $90K Carrera, I actually respect that more than buying a 04 Murc for $150K

I love Aston's too, but performance wise, they suck....perfect world would be a GT3RS and a Vantage Sport! Oh and a honda for your DD.

How about jet engines?

Of course, this one really IS faster than ALL of you (yes, even faster than Marco):

Theres a one that definitely doesnt get my attention

I would take a Seiko Spring Drive or Seiko Credor watch over a Rolex any day :)

I don't get what's so special about "German" engineering.

My wife bought a super expensive German clothes iron. Large text said "MADE IN GERMANY" on the thing.

It died 2 months after the 1 year warranty was up.

I once had a German car, it was a fucking heap. I couldn't believe "German" engineers could have designed something so bad, almost like the parts were DESIGNED to fail after a certain period of time.

"German engineering" means nothing to me.

"Made in USA" doesn't hold any weight for me either.

Thats a bold statement, considering there are so many models of ROLEX. You'd pass on all of them for a spring drive or credor?

porsche's are nice, but i hate those douches who think they're the shit driving their $10K late 90's boxster

yup, anything made in germany I stay the hell away from

^ :failed:

Theres nothing wrong with catching people`s attention and super cars are made to do that and more. There are people who actually appreciate the car`s performance and the outrageous looks just adds to the whole exotic ownership experience.

[quote=Marco911;7545720]Its seems even a porsche lover of the 911 is torn between it and the R8. Maybe you should take one out for spin and see if it changes your mind.:)

I'd take these over ANY rolex :)

An RWB'd 993 would get my attention REAL quick.

Personally theyre just too common around here now, like the new camaro or challenger. They were great at first but now with the amount there are its just like so what theyre there. Also depends on where you go and see one, My cousin who came from England couldnt believe the amount over here compared to over there. Here he saw quite a few a day compared to maybe he sees one a week over there. Its also the fact that this is what we have grown up around that makes them that more "common"

:nicethread:

Everyone who failed you is :alone: anyway

one of the ten cars i'd own if i was rich
http://bazpics.com/automotive/carsho...he930Turbo.jpg

I have driven a few of the super cars(or close to it) on track: f430, scuderia, lp640, lp560, lp560 superleggera, clk63 black series, r8, db9, and a 997 turbo. (ok also a f458..but on the street, so I didn't push it much)

I am not the fastest in the 997 turbo...but it is one of the more challenging cars to drive fast and the power from that rear engine is something else coming out of tight corners. I think I enjoy driving the 997 turbo the most out of all those cars. Sound wise.... I have to give it to the f458. :)

Porsche 911s still grab my attention, since it is one of my dream cars. Same goes for any Ferrari, and the Aston Martin DB9. DB9s will always grab my attention.

It's the Lamborghinis that have lost that magic touch for me though. Maybe because i've seen the one parked in Aberdeen store way too often, maybe it's the number of Lambos i've seen driving around in a sunny day in Vancouver. It's too common for an "exotic" car now...
