10 years ago, I would have agreed on them being overrated. Wasn't a fan of Porsches whatsoever from 2000 until recently...I thought they were garbage and it was a joy mopping the floor with them in my C5Z on a track back in 2003. Even worse were the dweebs who drove them. The 991 changed all that (just the cars...the drivers are no different), and when my GF said she wanted one, I figured why not. The 991 GT3/RS Really warmed me up to them, enough to finally want one of my own.

But make no mistake...my C7Z is still faster and more fun around a track than any non-918 Porsche.

This is awesome!

I'd hit it. But once you've seen one, well ya know.
Definitely NOT worth the premium $$$$. Porsche already leads ALL manufacturers with overly huge net profits per car at @ $20k on average per vehicle sold.

So what happened to the engine, do you know?

Hell, I want a 911R too. Can you buy me one?

I'd have more if I could. They might all share M3 badges, but they'll be very unique to each other in terms of driving experience. And I'm all about variety. If I had the money to blow on a 911, I totally would.

thanks fellas! I guess I'm late to the party.

I just wanted a new toy to replace the R8 that has a 6MT tranny. Been looking at other exotic replacements but just can't get past the idea of having to hit paddles on a weekend toy The 991-R seemed like the perfect car but guess it was not meant to be.
