Replying to: circlew (Mar 17, 2007 4:02 pm) test drive both on your favorite road (if they let you) and you make the call. They are different and not cheap so don't listen to any of us. I don't care my 911 is slower than a Z06. In fact, my 911 is slower than my Chrysler 300C SRT8. I wanted a 911 since I was 10 and it's all matter to me.

The Chrysler is competitive with my unmodified 2003 M5, but certainly not with the 911S's that I have driven.

Replying to: tomtomtom (Jul 20, 2007 2:15 pm) Porsche website: C2S Coupe: 4.6 sec   C&D/R&T/Motor Trend: 3.9 to 4.3 sec; average 4.1-4.2.   Assuming a similar level of conservatism in Porsche's non S Cab figures, you should still be at or ahead of the Chrysler. But, as you implied, there is a lot more to the 911 ownership experience than drag racing against a GM or Chrysler muscle car.

Replying to: tomtomtom (Jul 20, 2007 10:50 am) I test drove an 300C SRT-8 and found it satisfying for a large car but decided to go with a 330xi for my daily driver. At least I am getting better gas mileage/better handling! My CFO has one and he is delighted.   I will take your advice regarding the test drives...I think a test drive will be easier at both marquees now that credit has tightened and sales are down for big ticket toys and Mc Mansions.   BTW, I wanted a Vette since I was 10 and I'm glad I waited! In terms of sheer appearance, the C6 Vette does it for me in the looks department.   The 911 has to be built better and if at all like a BMW, the drive has to be at a much more refined/precise level. But I will see...   Regards, OW Replies to this message: tomtomtom (Sep 04, 2007 11:13 am)

Replying to: circlew (Sep 01, 2007 11:27 am) my 997 Cab is my daily driver. I only use the CSRT8 when I need to buy some larger items. My wife's R Class is the family mover.   "The 911 has to be built better and if at all like a BMW, the drive has to be at a much more refined/precise level. But I will see... "   I think Porsche's built quality is as good (if not better) than BMW or other German autos. Our R already went to the shop 3 times for electronics issue since we got it last December. We also have some minor issues with the 2001 330CI we used to have.
