Re: Porsche Project Gold - the 993 turbo S re-imagined by Porsche Classic
the-missile:Whoopsy:BjoernB:What would you drive if you could just have 1 Sportscar ? ( and I mean drivable every day) Even if you say the Turbo Exclusive (which is fantastic) it's nowhere close to a Singer product.
Yes it would be the Exclusive.
Apart from a few items, the Exclusive trumps the Singer in practically every category.
AWD vs RWD
607HP vs 500HP
Modern interior with Nav screen vs well, old interior without nav screen
PDK vs manual
Comfortable and supportive 18 way seats vs race buckets lined with top shelf material
Airbags vs no airbags
Modern crash structure vs 1990s crash standard structures
Singer cars are toys. Period. Owners of them have numerous cars and no owner of a Singer will drive it every day, there is just too much compromises. They are taken out to be driven once in a while.
you forgot multiple time the price of an Exclusive very limited Porsche 911.
Price of the Exclusive is like 300k US, a Singer is at least double that, actually almost triple that now.

That's only for the gen 1 cars. They are not taking any more orders for those.
The gen 2 DLS cars starts at 1.6mil.

I agree the two cars are not comparable. At the same time I need to call BS on some of your other comments my friend 
. Singers are not that compromised. I know several including mine that are used regularly.
