They're just insanely sexy.. Out of boredom I've been doing a lot of research on them, and this is the conclusion I've come to:
The Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes, when used with the proper pads (street vs track), would last a street car well over 100k miles if you change your pads before they get below 30%.
The replacement parts such as clutch, shocks, bushings, etc.. really aren't THAT bad compared to most supercars ($960-1200 for the clutch)..
It can get up to 23mpg hwy, the same as my WRX.
The GT3/GT2/997 motors are not plagued by the same engine issues the 996 had, making it a very reliable motor. Its said they're more reliable than the e46 M3!
The NA 3.6 motor pushes out 415hp
It has a 305/30/19 tire in the rear = insanity.
Long story short; in 3-4 years, when the price drops into the $55-60k range for one, I'll be talking to banks and taking out a loan on an orange/black GT3 RS.
I'll live in a 2 bedroom house, with a 3 car garage, preferably in a town near some epic roads to play on every single day.

wasnt m3 said:
I bet insurance is affordable too...
Lol exactly. It's not just the car $$ it's the insurance, and the envy of everyone else who's going to park right on top of you and key your car...
If I'm parinoid about my M3, I can only imagine a car worth several times more.
-
Yeah, insurance........ I dont even wanna guess how much that'd be...
I'd be very selective of where it was parked, no Walmarts for me!
It is fun to daydream about it though, when you think of it, $50-60k really isn't all that much, people drop that on newer //M cars all the time. Or higher end Mercs/Range Rovers, etc..

The 997 is sweet, but when talking about Porsche there's only one option.http://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2009/01/09/13/05/1971_porsche_914-pic-32593.jpeg

new porsches are undeniably some of the quickest cars for the money these days. however, i think the late 70s to late 80s 911 turbos are the coolest. slant nose anyone?

I almost bought a 914 back in high school, $2200 for a running/driving one, orange, with a terribly loud exhaust
My uncle had a slant nose back when I was around 7-8 years old. Pretty sure he's the reason I ever wanted a cool car. He also raced 944s back in the day.

Nice, the RPF's looked titties though....

Thoughts? 16" for the red car...
I need help finding wheels lol, I think those are the ones I want to go with though
-
Well then feel free to give me the money to get "real" wheels.

Nothing good, I am stupid picky.
And Sportmaxx wheels have come a longg way from what they used to be
-
What I truly want is a set of ATS Superlights
I will find a better picture later

nothing good in a 4x100 with some width, these are what I REALLY want, but are not easy to come by.
