Yeah, porsches are cooler overall. More focused and refined machines.

The thing is tho, in terms of numbers, vette performance tends to be comparable or better, but at a fraction of the price.

A base 911 comes in at 6 figure price tag, and 379 horse. Base vette is around 60 grand for 490 horse.

But yeah Porsches are still cooler.

[twocoach]

having driven both, i personally think porsches are more fun (boxter vs a late 80s/early 90s vette, both convertible)

And it isn't even close.

If price is no factor, I agree with you. But performance per dollar, I'd give it to a Corvette. You can get a whole lotta fun for a way better price. But yeah, if money was no factor then I'd prefer a Porsche as well.

i’ve not had the pleasure of driving a “real” porsche, but the boxter we had for a couple years (wife’s inheritance) was hella fun, and at the same price point as a vette

But damn, they depreciate like ice cubes.

There is no way for a guy to appear hetero in a Miata

A guy down the street from me has a Maserati SUV that sits outside all the time. Never puts it in the garage because he has too much crap in it. I would never leave a $75k vehicle sit outside all the time, either parked in the street or driveway. But whateva.

[defixione]

Do they still do 185?

[Cascadia]

If money is no factor, have to go with an Aston Martin

[ousdahl]

I asked this same question to Plano in his camper at the solstice, and asking now to all you guys too:

Final four cars?

Go!

[ousdahl]

- 63 vette, split window coupe, but resto modded to do supercar things
- 64 impala with the hydraulics, basically Dr. Dre’s car
- Mid 2000’s bmw m5, cuz I figure it’s practical to have at least one comfortable sedan, and if I’m gonna have a comfortable sedan in a final four, it might as well also have a v10
- Chevy Blazer, a big old one, and 4x4’d out

I try to have some utility to it, with different vehicles for different activities.

Though right now I’m tempted to swap one for a VW bus.

It also slants more old school collectible, but that’s how I roll.

Although, if I had to pick a new car, just gimme like a nice Toyota Camry.

My first car was a 64 Chevy Impala SS, Hurst 4s shift, 2dr hardtop. I loved that car.

[jhawks99]

My first care was a 69 Ambassador 343 CI. Thing was ugly but it would get up and move.

[ousdahl]

Dang, you guys are cooler than me.

My first car was a 95 Chevy Astro van, when my mom would let me drive it

[Deleted User 89]

my first car was a ‘70 chevy, long-bed farm truck

manual, 350 v8, with bench seat

[TDub]

ive always wanted a mid/late 60s or early 70s cadillac...either an el Dorado or a deville.

[shindig]

I still want a mint 1977 black Trans Am with t-tops.
