WTB: 996 Turbo

[SlimKlim]

This might as well be a theological discussion between Jerry Falwell and Osama Bin Laden. :lol:

I guess you either love them or hate them. I'm a certifiable 911 fanboi. I love all of the classic aircooled ones even though they sorta suck to drive. I especially love the 993 because its aircooled and not incredibly difficult to drive, and I'd punch a baby in the face if it put a 997/991 in my driveway.

The abortion that is the 996 is the only 911 I don't like. The front end looks like they melted it and the side profile looks like they couldn't be bothered. The interior is shit awful in design and quality, and it sounds stupid, but I hate the way the clutch and pedals feel in those cars, the shifter feels like a stick in a bucket of sand and the pedals all feel like they're on a delay timer. :dunno: Even with the "money-clunking" 964 and earlier transmissions at least they're connected to something.

From your perspective you only like one generation of what you consider a bad car. From my perspective y'all like the only bad generation of an amazing car. :dunno: :dunno:

You guys only posted up shots of the rear end of the car. The front looks like a VW Bug on adderall and mushrooms that went full face melt staring at itself in the mirror.

HURRRRR

DURRRRR

really? I couldnt tell
I cant say I hate them, I used to really really want them, and was even a pube's width away from buying a red 996 with the GT3 bodywork a good many years back from a rich arlington girl who was joining the peace corps and was dumping it quick for dirty cheap. coolstorybro.




but lately, I compare this



to this,



for the same money, same hp.
and its like Porsche is barely even trying to stay relevant anymore.

That could be an accurate description for every single generation of 911...

Its time for Porsche to finally give up on the poopypants engine layout. I mean shit even Chevrolet figured out it sucks, like 30 years ago.

Evan and Lee, I pity you if you think that car is ugly

its a pretty car that shit its pants.
the sleeker and wider they make the car, the more obvious that retarded rear engine bulge is.

They are: Case in Point Cayman GT4 and letting the 911 get bigger and more of a "grand tourer"

Would you just order one already?

I just wanted to bring peace.

Also 996's can be sexy

I think Porsche has already admitted defeat to a degree. It'll be interesting to see what they can accomplish with their mid-engined 488/650S/Huracan competitor that they're supposedly building

[Evan]

pfft, nothing a couple cans of plastidip can't fix.

He had gray and yellow ones bubble up for serious consideration but they didn't pan out.
