I find it interesting that just about every premium sport car manufacturer designs their cars with sexiness, flare and sensuousness except Porsche. In addition, they provide computerized shifting, exotic exhaust sounds and limited production. Porsche does not. I can only assume Porsche is not meant to be a premium sport car.
If all you are concerned about is performance, get yourself a GT-R or a Corvette.
See? that is why I don't understand how now all of a sudden you consider a Porsche , its like voting Bush one year and Obama the next
- Gotta admit Nick, that was funny.
Nick - I don't think you'd be happy w/ a 911, you like that exclusive factor. I bet you'll probably just wait for the 450. I agree you should get the coupe, I always felt when it comes to the F-Car the coupe was the way to go, it's just a much better looking car because the Spider version affects the whole car back of the windshield all the way to the tail lights. It ruins the look of large rear glass/engine underneath. The Spider's top & lack of C-pillar windows is so awkward looking, it makes the side windows look very square. Plus the most beautiful lines on past 8cyl F-Car's have been the roof line in the coupe, the way it connects to the rear quarter panels. Although not as sharp looking as the 911 coupe the 911 Cabriolet makes for a much better looking convertible than the F-car Spiders,,imo.
RE: Stick vs F1 - It's not fun but I'm still conducting human trials to see what's best, I tell my wife it could take some time before there is any consensus. Or a conclusion may never happen, just one big, long test. One thing I can say for sure each one feels better than the other & more fun depending on one factor - Whatever system you're currently operating at the time. I don't even get paid for this research, it's a thankless job.
Congrats on selling your Spider!!.
