What is the point of this, other than to be a dick?

Feel free to put me on ignore Charlie. You can go back to your quality car MKZ and Regal are better than TL thread because they have higher sales volumes than a car which has reached the end of production.

I am in the market for a sports car and was commenting on my distaste for ALL red interior. I've been on the receiving end of quite a few potshots for my opinions in the TLX thread, so its more than fair that I can tease back on occasion.

If you think that qualifies me as being a dick, you should probably spend a bit less time on the interwebz and spend more time in the real world where everyone is always unfailingly polite and hits the like button after everything you say.

Oooh. Burn!

Encouraging you to go bother someone else is being "butt hurt"? You have strange ideas. Don't single me out in your silly posts and I won't bother with you.

srika

lol there's absolutely nothing "girly" about a cabriolet that runs the 1/4 in the low 11's, from the factory.

ttribe

He's certainly entitled to his opinion on the matter, but stating his opinions as though they were incontrovertible fact, that's another story. Not to mention, singling people out for his personal scorn for no apparent reason, well...that just .

charliemike

So back to the current topic ... That 911 Turbo-4 actually sounds like a Porsche. It's not terribly loud but from the exhaust note I heard, Porsche seems to have figured out how to disguise the Turbo-4 as a Flat-6.

As far as pricing goes, there's a $9K gap between the 911 Carrera ($84K) and the Cayman GTS ($75K). Is $75K for a (perhaps 300hp) 911 Carrera Turbo-4 too much money? Would they actually sell a 911 for less than a top-of-the line Cayman?

VW can get 300hp out of their 2.0T right now so it's not unreasonable to think that Porsche could too. That would create 911 tiers at:

912 Turbo-4 - 300hp for $75K
911 Carrera - 350hp for $84K
911 Carrera S - 400hp for $98K

I hate the idea of a 4-cyl in a 911.

Thanks, CAFE!

When did I ever infer my opinion was "incontrovertible" fact?

I have you totally read:
1. ttribe butthurts easily.
2. likes leghumps by chuck.
3. can dish it out but can't take it.

Dude, you take yourself way too seriously on Acurazine, and you take my posts way to seriously too.

Fibonacci

Fixed, and I totally agree with this post. :gheyhug:

ttribe

I'm good with that change.

RPhilMan1

I think marketing has their work cut out for them. It could be a challenge trying to sell a turbo-4 for that much.

charliemike

I agree. But it makes so much more sense by itself in a Cayman. Unless this engine is part of a 918-like system for the 911?

The always awesome Tiff Needell goes for a spin in the Targa.

Tell us again how manly your $40k Accord is! I never see middle aged house wives driving those around.

Here's another animated .gif of the Targa...

Hubba hubba.

Fibonacci

Actually it was only 38k. And since the take rate on my 6MT was less than 5%, I'll bet the rare bird who is rocking a manual is probably a pretty smoking hot MILF.

Feel free to troll me after having parlayed 20k savings over a S4 into an NSX or a 911 with some overpriced options.

MeehowsBRZ

Ah yes, you're non existent thread for your imaginary sports car.

This is the NSX you plan on buying right?

fsttyms1

Will you DONKEYS knock it off already. Quit filling threads up with your bickering.

Yumcha

This is a toughie...but, Jalopnik does make some compelling arguments as to why the 964 is the best-looking 911 ever.

What do you think?




Here's the 964...

srika

The 964 was the culmination of the "classic" 911 shape. So in that sense, I do agree it's the best-looking 911 - from a historical view.

charliemike

I like the 964 quite a bit but I'm really fond of the 993 Turbo:

Yumcha

The 996 is probably my least fave of the 911s...but, I still won't kick it out of bed if I had one.

993 for me

srika

yeah hard to argue with the 993... but it's also hard to argue with this:

charliemike

Actually, Srika. I'd rather have that one

Sweet Jesus, a '92 Turbo with 38k miles is going for $120K on Autotrader

srika

wow, really?

too bad you can't have it, cuz it's mine.

found this cool site selling Porsches check it out -

Yumcha

What? You think it was going for $34.50 or something?

Costco

This weekend I was talking to a friend about 911s and how Jerry Seinfeld's is one of my favorite Porsches ever.

You have good taste



993 is my favorite generation 911.

Fibonacci

Some dude in our office complex drives a black/tan 993 T. Def hawt.

Curious to know how many of you have taken any 991 variants for a spin. Haven't taken the stop order GT3 or a turbo for a drive yet, but I'm holding out hope that that Stuttgart will relent and offer a 7MT.

00TL-P3.2

964 & 993 =
997 & 991 just behind those on looks alone
996 IMO, compared to the rest.

charliemike

The advantage of the 996's looks is that they are DIRT cheap. You can find a 996 with 70k for <$20k in good condition. My dad sold his '87 Targa with 94K for $16K.

srika

yeah, my friend was selling his 996 C4S in decent shape for $29k.

charliemike

I saw some 99s and 00s with 70K for $18-19K. I know next to nothing about 996s but gawddamn.

Yumcha

This is gawddayum.

MTEAZY

I like the 993 and 991 in every bodystyle. Also over 930 turbo and 964 turbo 3.6.

This is a nice image of the 911 Targas of yesterday and today...

Will have to disagree with you on this one yummy, nothing about targas have ever appealed to me.
