Here is a pic I took of my 911 that was featured in a "Dream Car" poster series.
Favorite car so far... a true classic.

991 is an amazing car. I had a 997.2S that I sold to pay for this one and in my opinion the 991 is light years ahead for a daily driver type vehicle.

Incidentally my car was the first 991 they painted in RB. Took I think 9 months for the delivery because they had to do all the tests on the paint on the new parts before they'd approve it.

Drive a GTR first. You'd be trading luxury, performance and German engineering for Japanese muscle. I realize lure of the power of the GTR, but it's a car with little else.

If all you need is speed, go for it. It's certainly pretty too.

But there is just very little sole.

Never driven a GTR, but that's what I keep on hearing. Straight line speed is fun, but gets boring pretty quickly. I'd much rather have a 911. It's the complete package, IMO.

If we are talking about the GTS 4 , than I agree with you completely.

Either way, porsche sets the bar in my opinion, all around.

My old Srt which was a fun little car. After my lease is up with the Lexus, I'll be getting a c5 z06 or a Porsche 911.

Srt was powered by a Garrett 3076r DBB and made 440whp and 490tq on pump gas
