$60k~$80k Gt Car?

[Betz]

my dad is looking to replace his 1984 911,

I have suggested a r34 GTR, (obviously)...

opinions for his replacement?

atm a newer 911 is on the cards, but seriously, there is little value there as far as package/performance is concerned.

what options can you suggest?

Get him to wait for the GTR..........I want his car.....put up some pics...lol

If the GTR does not come out.........GTR34..all the way.....Cheers

rx7, that is all

[Bluprint]

Get him to go buy a copy of Unique Cars, there should be plenty of ideas for him in there.

What kind of car does he like.... since he's currently got a 911 would it be safe to assume he wants something in a coupe, or it doesn't matter?

Because if he doesn't mind a sedan.... 90's model BMW M3/M5 or a brand spankers FPV/HSV or an STi or an Evo.....

[Betz]

He has driven my car (R32 GTR and considers it primitive and is unimpressed with the power delivery) so I think he is after the euro prestige and pedigree, his ultimate is the final turbo/air cooled 911 turbo as it represents the classic 911's development.

I have suggested that what he is looking for and enjoy's in a car the R34 GTR will do and be a reasonable move from his ols porsche before spending mega bucks on a late model turbo/air cooled 911.

altho the rx7 is pwnage I cant see him investing in a rotor... mind you I have mentioned NSX

its interesting for me aswel considering I wouldnt buy a different performance car that a GTR after $60k

not really a gt car, but an exige would be oh so sweet

[r32-25t]

get a 993 carrera S, they handle better the a gtr, stop better then a gtr, and r more reliable then a gtr

i use to work for porsche and i own a gtr, so i know what im saying

and the 993 shape was the best porsche ever made

^^LMAO

[phunky_monkey]

993 would be my choice.

TVR speed 12...

Oh wait... How much did he wanna spend?

[Topaz]

BMW M3 CSL

[ferni]

What does he actually want it for? Daily Driver? Track Car? Weekend Car?

Weekend/Track car = Arial Atom

[Betz]

It will be his daily driver,

he did see the Atom on top gear and said he wanted one at the time...

cant see him blasting off to work in one every day tho

I've had a 911, I have an E46 M3 for a daily and that is a really great comfortable and responsive car. Good handling for track work too. I also have a R34 GTR V Spec, which is my 5th GTR. 34 GTR hoses every car i have had. The only thing i would consider buying after my GTR is a Lamborghini Murcielago or Ferrari F40 or F50. 34 GTR will hose anything if done right.

Your 25 and already own those 2 cars? :sorcerer: Nice... what work do u do?

[lingeringsoul]

M3 for teh winnarz..........for some reason, porscher engine always sound like its falling apart when one drives pass me, never been impressed with their noise, NSX sounds hot, M3 sounds good, GTR sounds likes someone's about to such me up with a massive vacume cleaner.

How your dad probably sees it...

Porsche v's Datsun... which way would you go?

Why would he want to spend the same money on a nissan which is a family car with bits added to it to make it go fast and handle. Or a porsche which has been pretty much a benchmark for a sports/super sports car for years and years?

Because the cheeky people at "datsun" have wiped porsche's nose in it over the years. Looks like they are about to do it againt too.

Ok

But I think your missing the point of what I am saying.

You can buy a premium brand car with a proven track record, with german engineering, this that the other. Or you can buy a 'pesents' brand car which stock for stock isnt a better car, for the same money.

Put them in a race car situation its a compleatly different story, as they are different cars.
