poll two: sc - carrera
 

second part for sc and carreras..what's your favorite year 911? (popularity). hint: if your fave isn't in this poll, find it in the other two..
ryan

Up she go again ;)

People are picking the year of THEIR car, not what they think is the best year. Look at all the votes for 79, 80, 81, 82, 85, 87, 88. Those are all cars in the middle of their range and have nothing distinguishing about them. Why is 81 better than 83, for instance? Why is 85 better than 86? 88 better than 89?? Just proves people aren't following the instructions.

I had to vote '78 even though my '78 was built in late '77. 9118300015

this may be true, but seeing as how many of us own several 911's, it's just easier to ask for a favorite year..

bumping the polls back together..

poll bump..

poll bump

voted 82 of course

too close to tell here yet..
ryan

exactly 100 votes and still no clear fave looking at these cars. 80 and 81 showing fewest votes with only 2 each..
ryan

105 votes..'87 leads close race with 15..
ryan

113 votes and 1988 has 16 of them..a few others in the mid-teens though..
ryan

I voted 89 because everything being equal, newer is better. I happly drive a 78, but wouldn't mind something with newer rubber and other parts that age with time. Of course with the later models you also get increased power, the G50 tranny, etc.

'88 holds a slim lead..by one..
ryan

147 votes...1988 still has a slim lead..
ryan

Just voted for 1984. Why!?!? I have one.

SmileWavy

but is it your fave, slodave..? :p
ryan

In this case, yes. It was handed down to me from my dad. It is also an early '84, so, the crew that built her were probably exited about the new model year. The engine has been bulletproof and I have the records and odometer to prove it!

That said, the 993 turbo does look very nice...

Dave

still, if it weren't for the '82 sc, the late carreras would be running away..
ryan

Heh, each year improved on the last. I think we each own the best year. I actually like Coupes better than Cabs/Targas. I would have been very happy with my dads '68 912 as well. That car was very well restored.

Dave

151 votes here...'88 still leading with 21, but a close one..
ryan

'82 just might catch '88...just two votes separate them...19/21
ryan

too close to call...it's 82 and 87, 88, 89 pretty much tying..
ryan

165 votes and now 89 has grabbed a one point lead. 88 and 87 still very close, but 82 and 83 showing strong signs of life in the sc category..
ryan

no change..

170 votes...89 has 23 votes..slim one point lead..
ryan

172 votes...89 still leading a very close race by 2 votes..
ryan

173 votes..still 89 by 2 with 24..
ryan

Of course, I voted by car, but I'd love to have an '89 Turbo, which would change my vote then, if this poll is still alive.:cool:

i'm gonna keep bumping the poll, pat, until i get as many total votes in all three and then publish the final numbers for popularity from 1-39..or however many that is from 65-04. :)
