Thanks! Actually, I've been here quite a few years and browse this board religiously. This is my first post however. Basically any Porsche related or car specific question I can come up with, I research on here. Hehe, I even have about 90% of all the Pelican Parts tech articles, wiring schematics, etc already archived on my computer!
Thanks for the responses guys!
Does anyone know a grand total to the amount of Lemans wins Porsche has? I've researched these topics quite a bit, but it's very hard to find any exact figures. I remember reading that the Porsche 956/962 has more wins at Lemans than most manufacturers.
When considering Value for your money, there shouldn't be any doubt that Porsche gives you more value for your money than Ferrari. There was a few comparisons recently between the Gt3 RS and 360 CS. I can't quite remember but, isn't the gt3 rs around $120k? Even so, the 360cs is something in excess of $230k. That's ridiculously priced considering that every comparison I've seen has resulted in the reviewers deciding that both cars are almost identical in terms of performance. Same goes for the 360 and gt3, enzo and cgt, 575 and gt2........ Heck, you can even compare older Porsches and it still comes out the same. I'd rather own a 951, save almost $10k compared to a 308, and have a much better performing car. There are plenty of Ferrari's I'd love to own but, I just can't see myself doing that until money isn't an issue.
I'm really hoping that Porsche will use the CGT in one form or another for professional racing. It would be nice to see them spark up the old racing rivalry between Ferrari.
On another note, I had a question about the Lemans. I've missed it the last few years. However, from everything I've heard, the gt3's have been cleaning house with the 360's in the gt class. Is this true?
