911 porn

Can't wait for the GT2!



Even if you don't like RWB's ... watching this is worth it

 
 

Sweet....that is the area I grew up in and I've driven on every road in that video. Pulls at the heartstrings a bit and I know the feeling since I drive my WRX on those roads too.

Some of it is near the town of Walcott on the back side of Red and White mountain near Vail, CO and the big bridge and small town are Redcliff, CO which is sort of on the back side of Vail pass here in Colorado. They are just some cool little roads that are a complete pleasure to drive. If you keep going up Red and White mountain it overlooks the town of Edwards, CO and overlooks the Sawatch. It ends in a big alpine meadow and has some of the best camping spots I've ever stayed at. You can take another route down to Edwards if you have a higher clearance vehicle too, but a Porsche or Subaru would not be happy down that way.

That sort of gives you the idea many people have in the Vail Valley in regards to a 911. Its not uncommon for that to be peoples Daily driver car, and as I've said in the past on here its not at all uncommon to see them with bike and ski racks and studded snow tires in the winter.
 
Finally, the gearbox every GT3 (or any nearly any Porsche, for that matter) should have.

Still hate Porsche for saying the costs of developing both manual and PDK were to expensive when they could've sold easily 10, if not 15 thousand GT3 instead of "just" 4.
 
For me, probably the best Porsche 911 ever (besides the 935). These childhood memories...

Hopefully not a repost but even if it is, it's too good not to post again.

 
 
not sure if this is 911 porn, but prices for air-cooled 911s are getting out of hand...

Classic Porsche 911s have become a very not property on the collector car market in recent years. For example, 10 or 15 years ago a good example of the early 1970s 911T would only have cost around $50,00. Today you would be lucky to find the same car for much less than $200,000.

Prices of later 1980s and 1990s air-cooled 911s have gradually been rising in tandem with those being asked for their older brethren, but remain comparatively affordable. Even limited edition cars. At least, that was the theory, but the results from RM Sotheby?s London sale earlier this week may have blown that theory out of the water.

A collection of eight 911s were consigned to the sale from an avid German collector of limited edition models, and four went for world record prices. By significant margins.
