That stores them? Like you own them and just want somewhere to put them? I would imagine any storage facility could do that, if that is what you are referring to.

I'm with Edub in that when you get into that price range it is about emotional connection more for me than stats. I could buy one of the fastest cars out there but I'll end up buying what I feel most connected with and 911 turbo is one of those cars. I'd never turn down a GTR nor will I bash one, nor will I think less of someone who owns one. I do not have an emotional feeling for that car is all.

But a 911 and a GTR are identical cars. granted the 911 curb weight. So what ever you bash about a GTR i mean your kinda bashing about the 911 too

talking used prices tho. And u can easily get into a 996 turbo for $40k. 997 will be around $70k+. 996 turbo gets my vote

I drove a Cayman, Cayman S and a 911 Cabriolet before deciding on the Z. I wasn't looking at cost of the vehicle, just for 'seat of the pants, wow factor'. Then it was look around and see what I spot around town. Lots of Caymans & 911s, not many Zs. I really liked the Cayman S, I'm still considering ordering one fully loaded with the yellow brakes, custom paint and interior. I'd love to drive a GTR just to have another reference point. That being said, since I like to DD my cars, having a GTR would probably just completely unhinge me, given that I can't stand the idiots that are allowed to drive here....

nope. those cars are such different machines. on paper, they might look similar, but there is a certain "feeling" that cars give you. kinda hard to explain.

for instance: if you push a gtr too hard into the corner, it will have loads of grip then eventually start to understeer letting u know you're pushing it too hard, a 911, on the other hand, will have loooooads of grip followed by promptly spinning and putting u *** first into a ditch.

now thats a terrible example, but its the only thing i could think of to explain the difference in a drivers car vs a gtr. both will get thru the corners very quickly, but that certain element of danger in the back of your head in the 911 adds a little excitement imo.

now i'm not saying the GTR is a bad car or anything. hell i'd drive one, but i do understand why people say they are big video games

That was what I noticed about the 911 I drove. The car tends to 'lead' from the rear, it's real easy to crack the backend loose, kind of like the old AC Cobras. I couldn't upset the Cayman since it's mid-engined. I'd like to take a GTR out for a drive, just to see what I'm missing.

So not true... I'm on the GTR forum more then im on here and you can ditch a GTR just like any other car. really don't feel like finding videos n a Friday night to show you tho

Well I just got it roughly a week ago, all stock. 2011 Solid red, Nav, sport, manual, 4,200 miles, pretty much a cream puff repossessed from a guy who went to jail because he got deported (WTF right?? I know!!). I had to drive all the way to Chicago (9hr drive) to trade in the S2000. Definitely worth it, not missing the S2k at all, well actually just one complain/observation: the stock exhaust on the Z is not very loud. The S2000 stock exhaust is hands down!

0

I'll provide pics later, the weather has been just nasty!

Thank you all for the warm welcome to the forums.

Joel.
