Porsche 911T FTW

 

 

sooo hawt... i'll have one of these when I turn 35

 

If the Porsche doesn't perform better, what is the benefit of it over the Nissan? Looks are too subjective to be part of the equation. Personally I think the Porsche styling is getting old. But that's just me.

Name? Entry into the RGCC?

 

Actually, styling is one of the top reasons people buy a car. It may not make the car "better" but it makes it sell. Dodge, Subaru and Mitsubishi make trucks and cars that go real fast, but I don't even consider them cause they look like crap.

Some people will perfer the looks of the Nissan over the Porsche, but I'm guessing more will prefer the looks of the Porsche. And if more people prefer the look of one car over another, that makes it better because it sells more and has a greater resale value and fan following.

For me, if I'm going to spend crazy money on a sports car or GT, I'd want something that looks both puposeful and sophisticated. Over the years, I never bought a Corvette because of cost. Over time, I stayed away because of the image that the styling of the car suggests. The latest Corvette looks much more sophisticated than the cars of the 80s and 90s and I would probably get a Vette before I got a GT-R both on looks and to save $.

 

the Dodge SRT-4 out of the box is probably as fast or faster than most cars out there for half the price. but I don't see anyone beating down the showroom doors for it.

 

you say old, I say classic.

 

The Vette has come a long way, is a stunning value/performance value for the dollar and has gone upscale in looks.

Erin says I can't get one 'cause they are 'guido'.

 

Listen to the lady. She is right. Around here we don't call it Guido, we call it "Manny".

 

"manny" never heard of that before
