Ok, the title tells it all. The GT3 & GT4 get a lot of attention, and rightly so, from Porsche fans. In current guise they are brutal track machines, yet many of us don’t track our Porsches. I however find them too flashy in standard guise, and quite honestly would prefer, say a 997.1 Turbo.
So, get in your votes and give us your thoughts on your Porsche of choice if you don’t track your car. (SUV and Panamera owners / lovers are welcome to chime in!)
I like the air-cooled 911s because I think they look better and they feel more like “machines” than “products”, if that makes sense. I generally like the most rudimentary, mechanical version of things.
I also have almost no desire for anyone but me and my friends to be aware of the existence of my cars, and GT cars are impossible to ignore. They’re fantastic, but impossible to ignore.
Lastly, the GT cars a bit overkill for the road. I’ve realized that my driving pleasure is more or less proportional to how close I am to the limits of traction.
I’m with you. I chose a 996 40 Jahre both for affordability but also b/c it still had the smaller, more analog feel of the air cooled cars.
