I was in the new Glasgow GTR dealership today, was pleasantly suprised at them having 3 on show. 2 new MY11's & an MY10 thats done i think 13k at 46k. I've booked a drive on there MY11 once its broken in, they reckon it needs 1200 miles (just like STi) before you can get the benefit of it.
Guy reckons it'll be ready in 3 weeks for a drive, i could head over to Edinburgh but i think i'll wait & do some research first.

 

Only research you need to do is get the bankers draft......resistance is futile

 

have to agree.... along with upping your budget

 

I've had some fancy exotica in the past, but having being told by an AMG specialist that it would destroy many things on the road ...... i just have to at least try it.
M u s t ...... resist

 

Middlehurst had a nice white one, lows miles, excellent condition.... STUNNING!!

 

You won't regret it - a truly awesome machine

 

You just need to decide between a fast car and a drivers car

 

In a GTR he can have both without the embarrassment of being seen as a 'suit' in a porker

 

+1000

Godzilla...the original super car slayer

 

very shortly, we going to have a GTR section on ScoobyNet

 

Suit in a Porker, or a Dork in a GTR.

The bloke in the Porker won't need to tell everyone what it is. The Bloke with the GTR will bore the pants off everybody by constantly telling them:-

A) How much quicker than a 911 Turbo it is round the Ring.
B) That it can corner 0.0001g more than a 911 turbo
c) It will show you how much G you pulled via the dash screen.
D) It's cheaper than a 911 Turbo
E) A simple remap can see it produce 1343BHP
etc etc

By this time, she'll have walked off telling her friends that she's just met the world biggest Geek.

 

So you are telling me, that you put a porsche key down on a table and everyones first reaction is not "oh you have a boxster, too?!?!"

Try explaining why you bought a GT2 with scaffolding, no AC, no radio, etc

Most know what a GTR is, the rest - I dont care about

 

Does anyone actually put their keys on the table?

 

Only show off porsche drivers

 

Ha ha, touche!!

Where did all this Porsche/GTR animosity come from then?

 

Buying cars because of what other people will think of you or to get chicks....LAME....guess the old Porsche owners profile of insecure, middle age men is at least verified

 

When the GTR became king of the ring....no one likes an *** whooping in their own back garden

 

Haha reminds of when I was in a Management Course at work a couple of weeks back. Was sat in a group including a manager from Sales and first day I walked in he had in front of him:

A) The largest coffee you can buy
B) Two smartphones side by side
C) Car keys with the porsche badge facing up

I just said - so thats not your V10 R8 in the car park then

 

Trout?!

TX.

 

What?

 

 

all just a little bit of friendly banter in all honesty, I really like some porsches, but the sales person was a complete A$$ saying "you cant start the car, I must start it...." gave up after that....

Exactly what I had pictured

 

If anyone cares what anyone else thinks about them due to the car they drive, then they're both as shallow as each other.

Who really gives a ****?
I don't, and i know porsche and datsun owners who feel the same.

 

^^^amen

thats why we drive scoobies, because we dont give a f*ck lol

seriously, im so glad im not in "the scene" where things like that are anything more than a tiny p*ss take between friends.

 

Very interesting responses to my comment - I think I must be the only one who hasn't mentioned the 'German' car

It's amazing what prejudice you can trigger in people.

I think alloy's first post is the one to pay attention to. Get yourself the money sorted and then you are good to go!

 

Can't resist the GTR my brothers got one and truely awesome only drove it once as I'm not allowed to take it :-(

 

one overtook me about 4am on some back road few weeks ago....I had my girlfriend in the car and was both tired so was sticking to the speed limit (60)....but one came flying past me and the way it was accelerating thru the upcoming bends was insane!

 

all i can say is thankgod at morning (or any meetings) car keys and respective motoring badges mean absolultey fck all

theres still badge snobbery in the car park, but it extends no further , esp when my l reg classic beats everything haha - but its a boy racers car, apperently lol, ok.

 

Would have a 997 turbo of over the GTR any day ....oooops I already have
maintenance cost on the GTR are just silly. £500 every 15000 miles in the turbo

If I had to choose it'd be like this 997 turbo/GT3 impreza evo then GTR

all great cars in their own right but no car puts a smile on my face like the impreza.

Immy

 

Strange... I would sell my scoob for a set of track wheels for my GTR!
