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.

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

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.

Do they still do 185?

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

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!

- 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.

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

Dang, you guys are cooler than me.

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

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

manual, 350 v8, with bench seat

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

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