Thumbs up Awesome Porsche GT3 vid

I droll everytime I watch this video
Lovely camera angles, lovely music, lovely engine sounds and of course the car! Man..if I could afford it I would so buy a GT3 in white. (comes with a sticker of a Porsche badge to save weight! now that's obsessive

The 911 family of cars are great track cars in the hands of professionals or people who have a great deal of experience with a car which has its engine hanging behind its rear axle.

For most of the rest of us, no matter how much refinement and improvement Porsche makes in the chassis and suspension, the fact is that the laws of physics cannot be refuted. That fact, and spotty reliability, are the two reasons I would not and have not purchased a 911 series car.

But looks great in experienced hands!

993s are pretty reliable. In fact the pre-964 era 911s are pretty reliable as well.

That's where you're wrong. The only 911 generation with a spotty record would be the 996 generation when Porsche made the switch to water cooled engines. The new 911's have been extremely reliable.
