will do me, ta. Preferably in white with Martini stripes

 

I love this, colour is perfect and the body - i think i have a woodie

I am sure this car was in a thread im OM a few weeks ago ex James Hunt car or such like?

 

993 Turbo.

Apart from the dashboard, I think it's my favorite 911 variant. Would have a 993 Turbo over a 996 or 997 anyday.

Having said that, the 997 GT3 looks awsome.

 

Probably a bit boring but the latest 911 Turbo does almost everything I could ever want from a car. Now where's that spare £120k... Seem to have lost it...

 

Always loved the GT3s with current RS being my favorite

I love the idea of the GT3 and RS but they are so damn loud, so "focussed" that I reckon they'd be wearing after a while. Not back seatlets either. Still wouldn't mind attempting to live with one though...!

 

993 Turbo in Black!

I know its old know and probably wouldn't live up to my childhood dreams but its shape is almost sexual.

 

Id love to own one like this some day always loved this combo

 

They're not loud! And having driven one 500 miles in one day it was fine. Less wearing than a quieter car that not so good to drive.

As Chris Harris said of the latest GT3 RS after his day out being scared witless by Francois, "the most amazing thing about the car was not it's brilliance at 10/10ths, it was how comfortable it was driving home".

 

I hear that! The new 997 turbo with the PDK gearbox and 'paddles' is my dream car.

Being more realistic, I would happily 'settle' for a 997 Carrera 2 S. Black or grey with black leather and a sunroof - not that I've given this any thought of course!

 

I would like to have this car and this talent...

Niiiice

I am not sure which is more unlikely?!

 

911 gt1 road car mmmmm, nice

 

993 GT2 without a doubt.

Unfortunately at around £170k it won't ever happen...

 

I can imagine the 993 GT2 was rather "lively" on anything but a dry road?!

 

The Widowmaker!

 

A 964 Turbo 3.6 - in black - the car from Bad Boys,
Looks lovely in my eyes and has the proper curves. A car for the weekend I think !

But have to agree with Matteeboy that a 997 is pretty much all that I think I would ever need from a car - Turbo cab would be very nice - but would happlily take a 4S cab instead !

Mate of mine has a GT3 & a mate of his has / had a rather nice 911




TX.

 

think any 911 would do me

 

i would maybe disagree with that, having been in a GT3 very recently for the first time i was very supprised at how civilaised it was with the dampers set to normal and sport mode off.

Turn the dampers on and the sports mode and its a different beast

I was very very impressed with the car, it really is almost two cars in one...ok i've not driven one but from the passenger seat i see it very hard to get bored of.....i've started saving

As for no rear seats, the roll cage would make it uncomfortable for re seat passengers on a serious note, unless your passengers have no legs then there is little point of getting anything but a two seater.

All just my observations

 

Would a Ruf qualify?

If so, the 1987 Yellowbird.. Ruf CTR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

This for sheer Lunacy


This because it was brilliant


Unofficial Porsche but Love it!

 

A GT3 with a comfort mode - what will they think of next

In the 996 you can get rear seat belts put in and even little seats.

In the 997 it would be very dangerous as the floorpan in the rear is single skinned for lightness

Anyway - who wants kids in the back screaming as you wind it up to even 8/10ths!



It clearly is a different beast as my son would always shout at me to go faster in the Scoob, in the GT3 he really doesn't like going fast.

Rich - WTF is that first pic? Crazy wheel camber on fronts and rears!

 

Who's the daddy?



2 sequential turbos, 4wd, 444bhp, 0-62mph 3.7 seconds, 0 - 100mph 8.3 seconds, tops out just shy of 200mph.

And all that back in 1986. Things haven't really moved on that much in the last 24 years have they?

 

This is foofing sex IMHO:

 

It's a Rauh Welt tuned 911. Ridiculously wide and mental

 

That's the chap that owned the orange one in my post
