So far my 997.1 been very reliable and not all that expensive to keep running well. Long as you buy a good used one, they are fine.

got me curious so I went and looked.

good job Porsche.

People bitched when Porsche removed the 6MT from their cars. Now that they've put it back in, people are bitching there's no PDK option on a drivers car.

That being said, that PDK is one helluva tranny

Right?

Cayman GT-4 or bust. The Cayman/Cayman S are ugly and just [slightly] beefier Boxsters.

debatable.

I would possibly get a cayman through the auction for the price but probably never a 911. even at the auction they are overpriced. at a dealership they're grossly overpriced lol

911 turbo S bases at like $183K? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that lol

rather go get a McLaren 570S and smack the 911 around. the 570 is starting at the exact same price as the 911 turbo S and looks better plus has more powahhhhhhhh

(even if it's only 2bhp

)

Looks better is debatable, and the Porsche would probably do better around the track.

Not a huge fan of the McLarens (aside from the F1, SLR, and P1 of course). They look pretty plain and boring to me.

Porsche's are expensive, but hold their value (or increase in) very well.

I personally think the McLaren line looks good all the way through even the new "entry level" ones lol

The Caymen GTS is a very much upgraded, from the Caymen S. But a Caymen GTS is still pretty pricey but guys are wanting to sell them to get the cash ready for the GT4. The Porsche dealers are really screwing them on the trade, them really mark up the GTS Caymen (for now) as a used car. The 997 based 911 GT3 with a stick have gone up in price from the MSRP, since the 991 GT3 is PDK only. As I've learned, the Porsche world is a whole new experience....

MAYBE on a dedicated technical track it will post better numbers. As for a DD and GT car the S smacks EVERY car on the planet around (in its price and 10X TIMES above it).

Yeah, there prices are insane for a flat 6 pushing 400hp. It feels like there's a $30,000 premium on Porsche 911's.
