Garage
I think many here are a one brand person. I love the Porsche is has been the ONE I have wanted since childhood.

I also like lots of power, those two things are not the best of friends. Porsche HP is just inflated to a point that my rational side says wait, you could have a cool Porsche AND a very fast Cobra in the same garage.

While many here focus on just the Porsche and through all ration to the wind, I look at it and want my cake and eat it too I guess.

Not to mention the fragility of high HP in a Porsche, I'm not exactly poor, but I may lack the income of some of those here. So cost does have to factor into what I do, my wife is very supportive of what I do, so long as I'm not spending the family out of the house lol

I think addressing the SC's engine with a nice rebuild getting a lil extra power where I can from it and having a nice, clean well sorted 911 is the best way to allocate money. The dollar to smile ratio is good.

A 300-400HP Porsche has a much higher cost than it will pay out to me. Keeping the Porsche more on the mild side would allow me to start a Cobra build in 3-4 years I think.

I think this makes the most sense in total dollar to fun ratio in my lil head. I waffle because the child in me wants the fire breathing turbo 911, the adult in me pulls him back in.


I know the Vette argument, I am getting close to the C8 cost into my lil SC Which I try not to think about. Hehehehe

If I found $100K on the street I'd have a very fun Porsche.
