I have always found the GT2 / GT3 seats extremely good, even over distance

RWD
- the 90/10 variable viscous coupling isn't the best system in the wet anyway.
...not unless 11th Hr saves appeal to you.
drive something with a bias closer to 50/50, you will see what I mean.

530Hp TT as a daily driver
- I tend to agree that this would be a great idea, but your noise & rough ride concerns will be just as vaild for the TT then...

928 GTS as a daily driver
AGREED
I know that loud exhaust is fun or ever more fun but i once was riding with my friend in a car with extremely loud exhaust for 26 hours and my head was going to explode... You know if we were driving normally like accelerating etc i love the sound , but there was horrible traffic jam , actually we made 500 km in those 26h... ... and yeah i know that porsche's AWD isn't that good for rain/snow but yet it's still better than RWD , btw isn't it 95 rear / 5 front? I think that regular carrera 4s are like that , for the turbo i didn't care enough to check , but if it starts to slip then it can be like 60 front / 40 rear or so.... Yeah i know what you mean , i drive an audi S8 daily and it's 50/50 and in snow it's amazing , i turn of the electronics , mash the gas and it doesn't lose traction at all... in carrera 4s it wasn't so good , i have never had any 4WD turbo but it's probably even worse due to more power. I have one turbo now , but it's RWD and i would NEVER drive it below 10 celcius , and i only drive it when it's sunny and dry , and still have problems to keep it on the track sometimes :finger: .... Oh man the sun's shining , it's like 12 grades i gotta go do some driving...

I wish I had the time and money to get a 911 Turbo... Oh well, I'll have to stick to the 968.

I'm thinking of putting a 1.8 turbo in my 924, but it would require all sorts of chopping to make fit. Am I correct in thinking that an Audi 2.0L from a 924 or Audi 90 has the same bellhousing as a 1.8T?

I think 300hp in a 2200lb 924 would make a good daily driver until I get my 968 finished....

Re: The Best Porsche model

Before the new 997....

I think the best and most complete Porsche was the 2004 911 40th anniversary ediotion...

It has everything you could want and you can drive the car everyday..and take it to the track on week-ends.....

But the new GT3....wow

About Victory Motor Cars

Victory Motor Cars - I live in Houston and have been to the store many times. The cars I've seen look great. It looks like they do a little work on them in the shop next to the showroom to get them ready for sale. The local PCA chapter also has their meetings at the store - Victory Motor Cars.

Some people said thing as BE WARE!!! for their owned businees but we must see the true then saying the right about Victory Motor Cars

Re: The Best Porsche model

Of the current crop - GT2. But if you guys wanted to treat me - a 964 RS, in white.

Re: The Best Porsche model

I couldnt say there's any one Porsche model that wins the best title.

GT1, GT2, GT3, 917, 962, 993 Turbo S, 2.7 S Touring.

Porsche is just too damn good

Re: The Best Porsche model

I agree with that but im just looking at the Panamera. It looks like they took the cayman and streached it. i haven't seen the specifications but im assuming they will be very similar to the cayman. Not to impressed with the desighn team on this one.
