Any Porsche ppl out there?

Oh. You KNOW that's the car I've lusted over. That was gonna be my mid life crisis car. The GTS has all of the asthetics of a turbo or wide body, and enough of a power bump like an S.
They're all 911s. It's hard to pick a "bad" one. Just varying degrees of good.
The slowest cars on the road out here are Porsxhes, AMGs and McLarens with British Columbia plates.This was on a six-lane surface street. Fucking 30mph in a 40, no less.
I’d venture that C4 Vettes on their back like a turtle are slower yet, once the momentum from the crash has dissipated.
If I can get 2 speeding tickets, 1 written warning and 1 verbal warning in the first 2 years of having a Honda Element (a deceptively quick car, btw), then I could probably not get more than a couple blocks away from a Porsche dealership before losing my license.
Didn't Loco's buddy have a Porsche with a roof rack? I think he got banned or something.
I don't remember that. But I do recall some kid posted a pic of his lifted bro dozer and needed help figuring out how to haul his bike. That was some funny shit.
I like to think my Golf R is an excellent sleeper. I have gotten 3 warnings from the same cop at the same mile post on I-5. Generic bearded white dude in generic looking golf doesn't seem to register in his memory.
As much as I like the GT3, this is just so pimp. They have a GT, too.

Mini vans with tinted windows and not plastered in stickers that scream expensive outdoor gear inside, please help yourself, are most advantageous where stealth is required. Notice how few mini vans you see getting pulled over.
I gave up on "performance" cars and motorcycles after buying a crotch rocket in the mid-1980s and rapidly dialing my points up to one under license suspension. Porsche, 'Vettes, etc. are old white male cars.
Yeah you are correct the IMS was not fully fixed until the 997.2 but it is greatly reduced in the 997.1 compared to the 996. I think much of the histeria is overplayed but if I end up getting this car I will be doing the IMS in the next couple years for sure.
Trust me I want the 997.2 much more but there is a significant jump in price, they are holding their value amazingly well. That fact pretty much puts it out of possibility for me.
I have a very elaborate rack plan, my jeep.
Ha, I was close, I recalled his screen name was just"Something". He seemed like a guy who would own a Porsche.
I got no tickets in my '94 Vette and have only gotten one in my '01 and that one was from someone calling the cops saying I was doing 90+, I was doing 62 in a 55 when the cop stopped me. He gave me a ticket for 65, I didn't fight it. He also said he only did because they called, bastards.
Come on! Post a link already!
I seem to remember that you can also update the part that is failing?
Ooohhh.... I wonder what this will sell for

blasphemy.
I bet it stays under 40, been watching these for a while...
No way......
I guess that is really the only solution.
I dig the 6 speed. That's why I love the early GT3's. I know that slappy paddles are faster, but I enjoy rowing gears and clutching. I mean, what's the point of learning how to heel/toe shift if you drive an automatic?Ooohhh.... I wonder what this will sell for

Exactly. That's the enjoyment in driving, being connected to the car.I dig the 6 speed. That's why I love the early GT3's. I know that slappy paddles are faster, but I enjoy rowing gears and clutching. I mean, what's the point of learning how to heel/toe shift if you drive an automatic?
those new vettes are gorgeous. but I have a feeling these first year or two are going to be selling at premium prices.
The first year is almost sold out, but prices have been near MSRP. Corvette forum members got together and have been shaming dealers trying to gouge and giving business to dealers looking to sell cars. It's pretty damn funny.
I wouldn't buy a first year Vette (the history has not been good except for C6 but it's more like a C5.5). But give them 2 years and the Z06 and ZR1 will be supercar killers. 850hp twin turbo flat plane crank and 1000hp awd hybrid. For like $145k, that's crazy.

Prospective buyers on CorvetteForum are keeping track of which dealerships have promised to sell the 2020 Corvette at MSRP.

But its a Chevrolet...
Where are you located if you don't mind me asking?
Look at my cost of ownership and get back to me. Paid $14k. 6 years 110k miles, less than $3k in repairs (the clutch was $2500). I have averaged 26mpg. 2 sets of tires, one set of brakes. The bitch runs like a top. She has 181k miles now and is 18 years old. But it's by far the most fun car I have had to date and is my commuter queen. But yeah, it's a Chevy and I get parts at Napa.
Try that with a Porsche.
