hhahhahaha... WELCOME TO THE 80s !!


I have owned porsches from 16 to 25 and while I loved them, they totally scream 80s... if not 2000 or up.

I have owned 3 in my life and while they were fun, they are boring at the same time. See if you can go drive around for a day in that 965 and then the GTS.... NIGHT and Day difference.

I bought a 2002 GTS ACR over a 2002 Turbo.. never looked back.

No comparison !!

When I was in the market for a new toy I looked into getting a C2 turbo as it has been my dreamcar ever since I was a kid. However, the insurance for a Porsche was very high compared to the Viper and after checking on maintenance costs I wasn't willing to deal with a 20 year old car at those prices.

And the last straw was when I went to register on the 911 forums to get info and ask questions, none of them would let me on. Screw them!

I'm glad the Porsche didn't work out, I love my Viper :D

A buddy sent me the link good price but needs some work. I bet the motor needs a freshening. I have a white 94 turbo totally fresh motor and a black 2001 twin if you know anyone interested

I turned down a beautiful low mile 993 to go for the 2001 Viper. The 993 would have been my second Porsche. I can tell you that the Viper gets WAY, WAY, WAY more attention than the Porsche ever did and is an awesome car to drive. It demands attention and respect!!!:2tu: Not to take anything away from the Porsche but I am glad I made this choice! It's great when you get people driving down the freeway next to you hanging out the window at 70 MPH snapping pics!:D

Just say no based on the miles, that thing will kill you with maintenance costs, and while I think P cars are neat you can park a high end 08 model next to a B/W GTS and the crowd will ignore the Pcar, especially the members of the fair sex, so if you are single think about that grasshopper.
