what about all you modders out there? I'd like either an STI or M3 to mod the hell out of

SunnyD · 06-27-2007, 06:43 PM

Porsche 997 GT3.

chbrules · 06-27-2007, 06:57 PM

I'd love an M5, but who the hell really needs a V10? I think I'd settle for a new M3 and save the rest.

I'd say 997 GT3 RS, but thats out of the range

Aston Martin DB9 if I only had one car. If it was for a second car I might go for the Porsche 997 GT3. I haven't really looked closely into this though, so I'm not sure. I will get back to you in about 10-15 years.

YEAH, Like Buying a Nice Tag and a Rolex instead of an IWC or Patek.... it has it's merits if you are looking for maximum bang for the buck.

Though in fairness, I think I would do an X5 and a Lotus Elise maybe...

But yeah...

My Quattroporte was right around 130k OTD with 5k off for "customer loyalty" when i bought it a few months ago. Well worth it though

You could get a used one out the door for under the amount given by the OP but a new one with either the Sport GT (what i have) or the executive package will go over the 120k mark.

Don't know why everyone is suggesting the 997 Turbo.. I'd take 997 GT3 or 997 4S over the Turbo, the 997 Turbo deffinetly hasn't been Porsche's best effort.

achien · 06-29-2007, 02:33 PM

a mod-Lotus, anyone?

BeMyWife330i · 06-29-2007, 03:44 PM

uhh...im quessing u havent heard of VTG (variable turbine geometry)

jbl16 · 06-29-2007, 04:51 PM

997TT or 997 GT3 Hands down. Those that critique the turbo, go test drive one (even a 996TT), 0-60 3.5-3.7 depending on transmission with chrono overboost. Also the turbo drives around like my 330i, very light clutch and pretty soft suspension. Yes the z06 is 50k less but if you have the money the porsche in my opinion is all worth it, upgrade potential is higher on the turbo (although expensive), also interior on the porsche is vastly superior than the vette. Some modded 997TT are already hitting 550-600+ hp. 550hp only with chip and Exhaust. Gt3 is awesome, if you can find one, haven't driven one but have been told the NA high compression engine is incredible. Waiting for the turbo can take 10-12 months or more depends on how lucky you are.
