What kind of a list is that? Not a single well setup 944.

I could make a case for at least 10 different models. A better answer - one of each.

What really annoys me. REALLY annoys me. Is there is never a SC in the list. OR the porsche picture book. I understand jealousy may come into the equation, but please more attention given to the finest Porsche off all (drumroll please) the 911SC.

I don't think there is such a thing as the best Porsche ever but this comes close for me...
I luv everything about it and the colour is just perfect IMO. I would prefer this to anything else out there (within reason) and it's realistically attainable. My ultimate dream car.

^^^this is the correct answer. I will say this: the 930 is probably my favorite of all of them. The 904 just kills me with how bad@$$ it looks, but either the 930 or the RUF Yellowbird would be my top choice. |

.......... After I worked out the total costs to get it to Aus and get it registered it soon became a no go (I would've had to sell my house to afford it) Recently I was the best man at a wedding and the couple spent more than the total cost of that UK Yellowbird getting hitched. As you could imagine it was a great wedding and reception. One good thing though, the prices for genuine RUFs are all over the place so it's still there on my dream list.

Which ever one I happen to be fortunate enough to own and drive at that time. Personally, I'd like to own another 356 "C" coupe, this time fitted with a four cam engine.

My personal desire is a 1989 930.
These also look like fun, but I would not call it the best Porsche ever built.

My money remains on the 1985.5+ 944 coupe as best Porsche ever. I've long felt that Porsche's attempts and cheaper models have resulted in their best work: 356 Speedster, 914, 944, early Boxster. I'd be quite happy with a garage containing nothing but those Porsches.
