You all want a Porsche you just don't realise it yet


and crap it's fast and not just in straight lines.
Still haven't really got to grips with it yet.

I've always regarded the Porsche as the Man United of cars - hard to fault them technically, but they just seem to attract the wrong sort....

Peach looking car that lee. Very, very understated and stylish (I'm a little envious of it).

The sports exhaust on the 996 c4s sound awesome.
I dont know whether you can do it with the 996 but I had a 997 c2s for a day and you can basically flick a switch when you want the sports exhaust to sound loud. Pointless button for me as it was the first thing I switched on.

Yep absolutely pointless.
Mine is activated by default and goes quiet when you press the button.
Still pointless in day to day use

Here's a dilemma for you all, a mate of mine is about to start a new job at Porsche and can have any current Porsche as his company car (except the Carrera GT!).

What would you have?

i like the older shape ones with the bulgy rear arches

this is a MY95 i think.



would buying one that old be a bit dodgy or do they generally run and run?
