If You Could... Porsche Or Gtr


Recommended Posts

Just wondering what you guys who prefer a Porsche would actually do with it. From what I've seen in open competition P cars don't do that well unless they are driven by the top few gun drivers.

One thing seems clear, bang for buck they are rubbish.

Bit of a hard one.

Was on Para rd today, and spotted an R35 ... Had a look, walked up to the servo and spotted a 997 GT2 (spewing I didn't get pics of the GT2, got pics of R35).

If I had to pay it would be the 35, freebies = GT2, sell it .. + loan, buy a house.. Pretty happy with my 32 :laugh:

porsche always stands out as rich middle aged business man to me, there hot but they dont stand out in my opinion.

R35 GTR sitting next to a porsche i think i know what most people would be looking at.

also since beating my students porche in my r32 rb25 i've lost alot of respect for them :laugh:

Either one, then I'd use a 9" angle grinder, cut the roof off, mount a 'T' spottie, rifle rack, and 'roo leg racks and take it shooting. Then I'd see which one lasts the distance>>>>take it out to Tilpa paddock bashing, or up the gulf and through a few creeks.

They just don't do proper rood tests on cars...do they????

Do track days in it :P

Something doesn't need to be the quickest to be the most enjoyable. I don't like computer controlled cars as much as I do raw cars with the option of turning off all electronics.

A '73 RS would be a lot slower than any of the cars mentioned on the track, but I'd take one over near on anything given the chance.

Porker first, daylight second.

The only question is what vintage do you prefer your 911 in?

Ok, given 300k to spend on a car, I'd actually buy 20 really nice S13's and have a series for all my mates.... Much more fun :P

I'll sell you mine for 200k, then you can buy 19 with the rest and win with ease*. Deal?

*you may have to push it though, it's not running

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
