Nothing beats the classic 911 Carrera :star:
I was thinking of saving up, once I graduate and get a job hopefully, and buy me a nice 928...but those things are expensive. I looked at a 1995 one, which is in pretty good condition, on e-bay with 10 hrs left in the auction and it was at $35k...maybe if I get rich enough to not bother about those petty little zeros on the right. :D It's a thing of beauty though...can't beat those headlights. :cool:

Do you realize a 911 is a V-6...while most Ferrari's are V-8 or 10?

And the Enzo which has about 100 hp more than the Carrera GT and 2 extra cylinders, only barely beat on the track in Top Gear...by about .01 seconds.

    Don't know much about Porsche, TBH.

    I'm just a Ferrari fan :)


    I imagine if you asked the question:

    "If someone gave you a car, which you could not sell, and that had it's insurance paid forever, which car would you want?"


    99.99% of the answers would be Ferrari :)

    Well I'm one of the 0.01% then...I'd take a 911 Turbo over any Ferrari, except for the Enzo...that one I'd take a Carrera GT over. :p
    :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

    This is interesting...I had the impression you didn't even like cars Martin. Or was that Erik? :D
    Well I'm no car nut but if we're talking design then Porsche kicks ass :D

    Porsche has a design department that deal with the sound of the car. They design sounds for other cars as well, namely Mercedes and BMW. The Porsche itself has a distinguished sound and has always been the best car sound. Last year a Ferrari won the award.
